"Video driver hung and was restarted" after latest Nvidia driver update

Started happening to me yesterday, only thing that changed was a game update for the new battle pass.

War Thunder started hanging at startup of a game after the April 30 2025 update. Win11 PC, no other HW or SW changes. Sigh.

I uninstalled the graphics card driver using DDU and installed the latest graphics card driver, but still cannot solve the problem.

"This happens to me when I Alt+Tab between War Thunder, Spotify, . I have an RTX A4000 graphics card with the latest Studio drivers. And its no black screen no window flashing just game freezes for 10 seconds and says “the video driver hung and was restarted(texture quality was reduced)”

The newest RTX Drivers crashed my system while playing warthunder very frequently. I reverted back to

Its rtx on dx 12, dx 11 is no issues. I can’t do anything, even locked on 60 fps the game is crashing.

RX 7800 XT. Used DDU to reinstall 24.12.1, still having that issue.

DDU does NOT fix the issue, DX11 does NOT fix the issue, Lowering settings does NOT fix the issue, the only fix to these driver hangups is not playing Warthunder at all LMAO

Reinstalled newer drivers, issue still persists and might’ve gotten worse. Glad we’re getting 700+ euro worth of pre-orders this update and still can’t fix vsync 3-4 years later.
