Technical Issue FPS drops after updating driver

[Deleted member 2572]

So, i downloaded Battlefront 2 beta and it gave me an error saying that i need to update my driver. And i went to updating it visiting nvidia site and updated my driver to 385.28. After that i go played beta (Which was pretty awesome) and then decided to play some mb2 afterwards. But i see that im getting lags and fps drops to 20-30. Is that some issue that most people have after updating their drivers? Any help would be cool.

I had to do the same thing but mine's fine, I am now getting the VM_Create on ui failed error again now though

Battlefront 2 is a raw, rushed game and at this time it is in beta phase. Problems to be expected, especially with weaker computers. Download AIDA64 or something and post your specification.

Yeah the annoying part is that almost everyone have PCs that can’t handle these graphics(except popular youtubers and rich boys with very expensive computers and videocards) But I somehow ‘fixed’ this by downloading previous versions of drivers. And now my battlefront looks crappy with those freezes and with the amount of stuff in it. Well... I guess my money went to shit but I’m going to try and get it to play at least on minimum settings. Really wanna see how heroes vs villains and campaign modes play like. At least mb2 stays here and it won’t go anywhere until new amazing Star Wars game comes out.(Not like it all happen in next 6 years with EA license on Star Wars games) Also the thing I liked in the beta are pretty much the graphics, the fighter battles and pretty much that’s all lol. I hate it when you need to skip that white-black screen when you die and always press ‘space’ to continue. Classes are fine though.

do you have Geforce Experience? That's how I updated mine and it's now version 385.69 not .28

You should do your own research.
Install old drivers (the one that gave you more FPS), see if something changed. Then update them again.
If you find relation between drivers' version and performance in Movie Battlers, that means NVIDIA screwed its drivers, not a lot we can do about.
You can stay on old drivers, or wait NVIDIA to release a new, fixed package. Try changing various video setting in MBII, maybe disabling some particular setting will bring your FPS to previous levels.

Some drivers have hardcoded executable names, so "jamp.exe" prolly already has some "special" optimizations. Maybe you are using MBII engine? try to rename MBII engine to jamp.exe. Try to rename your engine to "customname.exe".

Also make sure your default graphics hardware is still your nVidia chip. Doubly so if you play from a laptop.
