Well at least Ubisoft is aware of the issue of Nvidia 384.76 where Watch Dogs 2 won't even launch with this driver.
There must be some pretty smart software engineers on this forum. Ubisoft constantly works closely with Nvidia on every game. Plus the issue is only WD2. GRW, etc run fine. What is it that is so serious and a specific issue that WD2 won't even launch with this driver?
Anyone want to explain that to me?
NVIDIA have released a new Hotfix driver today 384.80 which fixes the Watch Dogs 2 crashes.

Yes, I can confirm WD2 launches just fine with this hotfix driver. So the issue was Ansel? Ansel was recently implemented with GRW, and it worked with 384.76. So that same driver , because of Ansel, was causing WD2 to not even launch, and it's the same game dev, Ubisoft.
In my retirement, perhaps I could go for a computer software degree. But I have my doubts if even that would explain to me how game coding works. Where's the uniformity, the rules?
