## Key points

- S-Game recommends Nvidia driver 617.42 for Phantom Blade Zero.
- The latest version is 621.01.
- Nvidia is expected to release another update soon.

## Summary

S-Game advises Phantom Blade Zero players using Nvidia graphics cards to avoid the latest driver, version 621.01, and use version 617.42 instead. The recommendation matters because the newer driver may harm the game experience, despite being released with updates intended to support it.

The developer says its testing found 617.42 works best and recommends a clean installation after rolling back, until Nvidia issues another update, which it expects soon. The game’s 5 GB day-one patch is also recommended; the article gives rollback steps through the Nvidia App or Windows Device Manager.
