NVIDIA Killing Floor 2 Drivers

The GeForce website now offers new version 355.98 WHQL-certified Windows drivers for NVIDIA accelerators, saying these are the "game-ready" drivers for Killing Floor 2, Tripwire's first-person shooter sequel. Here's word:
The new GeForce Game Ready 355.98 WHQL Killing Floor 2 drivers are now available to download from GeForce Experience and GeForce.com. With Game Ready optimizations for the 6-player co-op shooter, our latest driver is a recommended update for fans of Tripwire Interactive's goretastic game.

Game Ready For Killing Floor 2

Killing Floor 2 is a fast-paced first-person shooter in which you and up to five others tackle waves of deadly 'zeds'. It has sold many copies on Steam, as has the first game in the series, and is working towards an official release following a period of Early Access development.

Recently, developers Tripwire Interactive upgraded Killing Floor 2's gorey gameplay with spectacular NVIDIA PhysX Flex effects, enabling blood, bile, and other bits of gore to interact thanks to GPU acceleration. Like so:

The result is quite something, and paves the way for Flex effects in future games. For more on Killing Floor 2, check out the trailer for the latest Early Access update:

...its like asking AMD to have a decent OpenGL implementation.

Ouch, man. That was brutal. Might as well ask AMD to make a competitive, power conscious processor while we're at it.

Oh right, AMD makes CPUs. Totally forgot hooah!

This comment tree makes me SAD... I still run a Phenom 2 X6 and direly regret having chosen this over the I7 ;p But it was literally a third of the price. so competetive in power and performance, no, but in price (both CPU and system components), hell yes.

A Kia Rio is "competitive in price" with a Corvette but, at the end of the day, you're still driving a Kia.

They can't stop with the game ready stuff. Game development is hard and requires tons of workarounds. A lot of those workarounds cause bugs with graphics cards. In addition to that developers will incorrectly use the Nvidia API or will just forget to do certain things. This isn't the developer's fault at all due to the sheer amount of stuff that goes into creating a large game, after all they are only human. So Nvidia steps in to create their own specific work arounds for each game in order to reduce as many bugs as they can. Basically these game ready drivers are just workarounds for workarounds and unfortunately with the way game development is, there isn't really a way around it. So they are doing what you want, fixing bugs =).

Thats a fools errand, video drivers are insanely complex and built upon a mountain of legacy. "Fixing all the bugs" is chasing the white whale or put differently its like asking AMD to have a decent OpenGL implementation.

My first reaction to reading the headline was, 'What's a floor 2 driver?'.

Obviously I need more coffee.

The wording on this makes it sound like there are no other fixes, optimizations or other updates, so that if you do not have this specific game then there is no point installing these drivers.

It's definitely the game they're pushing, but there's more:

"This new GeForce Game Ready driver ensures you'll have the best possible gaming experience in Killing Floor 2. This driver is also aligned with the new flagship gaming GPU for notebooks, the GeForce GTX 980. In addition, this Game Ready driver also includes updated features and functionality for the GameWorks VR software development kit (SDK)."
