Grinding Gear Games, the developer of Path of Exile 2, helped resolve a game-breaking Nvidia driver bug by shipping the graphics company an entire PC setup capable of reproducing it. Despite the longstanding driver bug, Path of Exile 2 remains one of the most prominent action RPGs currently available in early access.
Path of Exile 2's disruptive Nvidia driver bug was first identified shortly after the early-access launch, reportedly causing lengthy pauses during extended gameplay sessions, leaving affected players unable to control their characters for around 20 to 30 seconds. The freezes were particularly bad during demanding endgame content, where suddenly losing control of the game could lead to a character’s death or a failed encounter. Grinding Gear Games eventually determined that the underlying problem involved newer Nvidia drivers, including version 566.36, which was released shortly before Path of Exile 2 entered early access. After approximately a year and a half of investigation, the problem has finally been addressed through a new Nvidia graphics driver update.
