Nvidia driver update 526.86 is now available for download, delivering a number of fixes to multiple games and game engines, including fixes for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty Vanguard to provide the best possible experience on these titles (courtesy of DSOG).
According to the official patch notes shared by Nvidia, the new patch fixes a flashing corruption issue in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 that could be seen when playing the game. If you have had a similar problem, it is strongly suggested to install the latest Nvidia driver update, especially if you are planning to play Warzone 2 when it launches next week. The patch also improves the game's stability on Nvidia GPUs.
Other than that, the new Nvidia update fixes a crash problem with Call of Duty Vanguard, which might not have as many players as Modern Warfare 2 at the moment, but it still has its own community playing the game.
