    Nvidia driver update bug fix released

    Hi, we just pushed an update to fix a bug that prevented Overview to launch on systems using recent Nvidia cards and drivers. Support requests around that bug showed a significant number of Valve Index users in this group, which made us wonder if it was not related to this specific hardware. It was actually only a correlation: Valve Index owners often use recent GPUs ^^ In any case, bug fixed: we can all resume our contemplation of the vastness of the Universe. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/31737017/d3b1d17b0b0aa76455c8b0c578c2d999b747193c.gif
