new physX version included in latest nvidia driver

[RustGear]

since we can no longer run physX on any driver newer than whatever the most stable one was it can't be tested on our end, can a dev check new nvidia driver ver 381.65

They're busy fixing a kilotons of bugs.

Did release notes say they fixed it? Because we haven't heard anything from NVidia and I'd assume they'd tell us.

Nothing on release notes that I can see, but there is indeed a new PhysX version:

I think it's worth a shot if you guys did only disable the option without changing anything else.

EDIT: Added spoiler for the absurdly large formatting. I love this new forums interactions hah

There is an announcement in reddit's forums board, I already see that someone above me posted it take a sneak peak in it.

Hoping to get the particles back soon. The game looks stale without it.

Nvidia fixed it I think I was skimming the other thread and well there is an app that uses loads of Physx and that does not leak so I assume it is working fine and could be enabled again for this driver.

Sometimes fixes sneak through the patchnotes, eh eh?

I downloaded Windows CU and installed the latest Nvidia drivers. Haven't had a chance to test out new physx but I played BF1 for a while and I definitely had a few more fps(5-10 depending on the situations).
