    Hello all,

    We are currently investigating this issue you are experiencing with Nvidia driver 384.76. While I understand that some of you are looking to use the driver for other games, but it may be worth rolling back to a previous revision until we have a resolution, if you do wish to play Watch Dogs 2.

    As soon as we have an update, we will let you know.

    Thank you all for your patience.

    No fix

    I rolled back to a previous version but the game still crashes at startup for me

    I guess mine is also the same

    I guess mine is caused by the nvidia update also, I did wonder why it decided to just break randomly

    I tried to roll back driver 384.76 to previous driver, still same crash.
    I also verified game files. -crash
    So don't bother doing that.

    Next week a update fix from nvidea is cooming..

    Guess it's time to dust off other games...

    same problem here ... so far I could narrow it down to the EasyAntiCheatSys:

    - <EventData>
    <Data Name="ServiceName">EasyAntiCheatSys</Data>
    <Data Name="ImagePath">C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\EasyA ntiCheat.sys</Data>

    FIXED

    The crash is caused by the NVIDA Ansel

    C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Ansel\Tools
    RUN NvCameraConfiguration then disable

    The game will then run with the new update

    Disabling Ansel was the fix in my case.
