How fast did it solve it?
Actually, it solved the geforce experience situation really fast.

WHY? WHAT IS THE ERROR?
-
@ben_lubar The error is "fuck you, we have lots of money".

I needed to log into my graphics card today after I installed a Windows update.
How the fuck is that even a thing that can be a concept?

I'm going to guess Nvidia will back down from this retarded decision after enough people complain and make accounts optional again.

Pretty sure Geforce Experience just committed sudoku on my machine. I told it to run its update, which resulted in some error about some runtime in setup.exe, and now it's gone.
Yup, exactly my experience too:
@Deadfast said in Nvidia Geforce Experience:
- On two different PCs the automatic upgrade from the non-shit version failed. It uninstalled the old version and then crashed while installing the new one. I had to manually download the installer which actually worked.
@cvi said in Nvidia Geforce Experience:
I am OK with this outcome.
I'm not because the old version was actually quite decent.
-
Ok so I went to NVIDIA's website and downloaded an EXE over HTTP (not HTTPS). Then I ran the EXE and it installed an updated driver.
WAS THAT SO HARD, NVIDIA?
Also, how can it be "3x faster!!!!" if the process used to terminate but the new version doesn't?

Yeah, I agree with you here, though. The old version was quite useful.

@lucas1 I don't know if it's still true, but Nvidia used to be very, very much preferred over ATI/AMD for any kind of CAD work. Nvidia did OpenGL in hardware,
but ATI depended on their buggy drivers, making them both slower and less reliable. One particular specialty CAD program I used to use regularly, when someone reported a crash, the first question was always Nvidia or ATI, and the answer was always ATI. The solution was always Nvidia. The author eventually jumped through a bunch of hoops to get the program to work almost as well with ATI cards, but Nvidia Just Worked.I recently had problems with a mobile nvidia gfx and a cad program. Things I added refused to show up. It did show up when I rotated the scene (and back).
I think he gfx was fucking up, and not the software.
And for some fucking reason I need a 2 year old driver to use my 4K display at 60hz. The display and the gfx will happily do it, but the current drivers are borked beyond belief.

Fuck you, NVIDIA...
-
@Deadfast I gave up and logged in with Facebook. Wankers.
-
@lucas1 I created a throwaway account. That worked until today when the session expired and the damned thing completely shat itself. By this point I have had enough of this rubbish and uninstalled the damn thing. Luckily for NVIDIA the uninstaller actually worked because I was this close to buying an AMD card out of sheer spite.
-
@Deadfast I kinda understand why they want to have user data to better optimise stuff ... that argument could be made.
But don't require me to have an account.
I am sure me playing like 10 year old games and Duke 3D in Dosbox isn't what they care about.
BTW Excellent Doom 64 port

i've literally never had issues with nvidia experience (aside from the initial signup being confusing so i'm Tsukiyomi according to nvidia because that was the name of my computer and i thought that's what it was asking for, and i can't figure out how to correct it)
of course i log in with google.... because fuck facebook and the nvidia login had an error when i first set it up so i just used google login instead.....

they don't. that works without the login.
for some reason gamestream doesn't work without the login though.
i was mildly annoyed when i was setting up my shield for that.... but i quickly decided to say -shrug-

What problem? The fact that it's absolute and utter shit?
Here's what my GeForce Experience experience has been so far:
- On two different PCs the automatic upgrade from the non-shit version failed. It uninstalled the old version and then crashed while installing the new one. I had to manually download the installer which actually worked.
- It requires a fucking account.
- Upon giving up and deciding to create a throwaway account it told me registration has failed and I should try later.
- Once I finally created an account, it proceeded to offer me a driver update. Upon downloading and trying to install it, it told me that "installation failed". No other details...
ever since 3.0 if i let geforce experience update my driver for me it crashes my computer and throws it into a reboot loop until i force power it off then power it back on, then it's all like "yep, the driver install was successful"
i do NOT call crashing my computer to a reboot loops successful!
of course if i tell it to just download the driver, and then i wander over to where it downloaded the new driver and launch it manually, it works perfectly, no reboot needed (and no forced reboot through crash either!)
i have no idea is going on there.
oh. follow up to this one.....
i figured out what was causing it.
the SLI bridge wasn't fully seated. the issue has disappeared ever since i had the side off to install the new SSD and noticed the bridge wasn't fully seated. after reseating it no more reboot loop.

I couldn't give a fuck about that. Nice one NVIDIA.

use the command line GUI sucks.

Could be worse. You could be named MILWAUKEEPC.

Worse would be MILWAUKEE-PC

@Lorne-Kates There's that. But I was referring to another thread (forget which) where the machine name was used in sending info that was separated (poorly) with
