Nvidia Driver update, now RivaTuner isn't working

So I update my drivers to the new Nvidia drivers this morning (353.06, GTX 670 FTW) and now RivaTuner is 100% for sure, not working. I can't lock my frames anymore nor does the FPS counter show up.

FRAPS will work for displaying the FPS counter but RivaTuner no longer does (it was working prior to the update, I locked frames at 35)

Anyone else seeing this?

This isn't an issue with the game, wrong forum. You're better off posting on nvidia forums or guru3d. On that note, I am using latest driver and Afterbuner, locked at 50 fps, and it's working so the problem is on your end.

I just checked new (353.06 ) driver by myself. First – last version of Riva Tuner (6.3.0.7688 ) works fine with new driver. Second – got about 4.2 to 5.8 average fps boost on new driver with GTX770. Don't know about stability, but since I lowered my factory OC to -27MHz on core, I'm already got rock solid stability with previous driver version (not a single crash for 50+ hours of play).

If you just wanna have an external framelimit there is no need to install rivatuner (and it's background services) to begin with.
Nvidia Inspector lets you access all the hidden options in the driver-game-profiles. Including framelimit.

I suppose this will be my next step. I've tried reverting back to the previous drivers (352?) and that didn't work, however a Restore Point to a few days ago worked. But now my game needs updating. No idea why RivaTuner decided to mess up with the new drivers on my machine. It was running so magnificently too. Oh well, lesson learned.

Hatman, have you been using Inspector for Witcher 3? Anything other than Frame Limiter that I should try in there? I was locking everything at 35 with RivaTuner...

(Also contemplating complete system wipe and fresh install as I really dig RivaTuner)

RTSS with 30fps frame limit set and 353.06 working for me. gtx 670. Maybe try using DDU and reinstalling driver?

I just did the DDU clean install + the latest 353.06 drivers. Plus I switcher to RTSS 6.3 (was using 6.2 standalone from Guru3D) and it still didn't work.

But I fixed it (somehow) by disabling "Custom Direct3D Support." Previously, I was told to set it to On for Witcher 3 (believe I read it on PCGamer) and it worked that way before the driver update. So it works now, but only by setting that to Off.

I did try Inspector and it worked fine so thank you for that recommendation. It didn't, however, feel as smooth. Weird. Anyway, thanks for the help.

**Also rocking a 670 (FTW 4GB)

Thank you, I was having this same issue and fixed it by disabling "Custom Direct3D Support.".

Only have the enabled if you're running things like sweetfx or reshade etc.

RivaTuner is discontinued and remplaced by Afterburner so you might want to check it.

Wow! Glad we got to help someone!

I was never really sure what the Custom Direct3D Support" was for. I was just following others but I'll take note if I ever need to apply SweetFX etc.

Hey i've had the same Problem and just got it to work with the Steamoverlay still active though....

I've created RivaTuner profiles for;
Steam.exe
steamwebhelper.exe
Squadlauncher.exe
and Squad.exe.

MSI and Riva are both up to date to the latest version ..:

Riva 6.6.0 and MSI Ab 4.3.0 Beta 14.

I have all the same Settings for each Profile;

Show On-Screen Display - On
App Detection Level - Medium
Custom Direct3D Support - On
OSD - Support - On
Rendering Mode - 3D
Show own Statistics - On

All other Sliders are Off.

I hope this helps!

Ah! Great angle! Never considered that. Man, these marketplace front-ends are getting intrusive. Hopefully this will work for folks!

Now, this was a worthy necro! (Behind him, the paladins grumble as they fall out.)
