Nvidia has arrived in the nick of time with its dedicated Zombie Army 4: Dead War GeForce Game Ready graphics card driver. Well, sort of ‘ready’, because in amongst promising this is the GPU driver with all the last-minute performance tweaks and enhancements for Rebellion’s upcoming co-op shooter, Zombie Army 4: Dead War is also in the list of games with ‘Known Issues’. Erk.

Anyway, the GeForce 442.19 WHQL graphics card driver has performance optimisations for, as Nvidia calls it, Zombie Army: Dead War 4, as well as optimal support for the Sam’s Story DLC for Metro: Exodus and Apex Legends Season 4.

This latest driver also includes an update to the new Maximum Framerate Setting, which you’ll be able to find in the Nvidia Control Panel. This is a feature originally included a previous GeForce driver update which allows users to set a max FPS at which any game can render, specifying either a single game or a global setting. Based on community feedback, Nvidia has chosen to expand the range of the FPS limits. You can now cap your frame rate as low 20 frames per second or has high as 1000FPS. 

As ever, there’s a laundry list of fixed and known issues with the GeForce 442.19 WHQL graphics card driver which you’re going to want to keep an eye on. In particular, there is an issue with Ansel & Freestyle support being unselectable in Zombie Army 4, as well as screen flickering when HDR is enabled. Ahem, ‘Game Ready’. There’s also a new issue with Rainbow 6 Siege since the switch to Vulkan. Namely, this drive introduces flickering after switching between windowed and full-screen mode when G-Sync is enabled.
