Marathon crashes after a driver update — what should I do?
Check the release’s known issues on this page: if the vendor describes your case, it usually recommends a version to roll back to. Then clear the shader cache, do a clean driver reinstall and see the game’s crashes and errors page.
Should I clear the shader cache after a driver update?
The driver usually resets the cache itself, and the game recompiles shaders in the first minutes — brief stutter is possible. Clearing it manually helps if artifacts or crashes on loading appear after the update.
