NVIDIA Update Disrupts Compatibility with Forza Titles

08 Nov 2025

NVIDIA's recent driver update has caused incompatibility with several legacy Forza titles on PC, sparking player frustration. The update affects Forza Horizon 3, Forza Motorsport 6 Apex, and Forza Motorsport 7, leading to an AP204 error that suggests GPUs are incompatible. Initial reports point to problems specifically with 50-series GPUs.

Affected Titles and Workaround

Players experiencing issues with the new driver on these titles can address the problem by rolling back to the 576.88 NVIDIA driver. This provides an immediate, if temporary, solution until further updates. However, given that these are older titles, updates may not be prioritized by Microsoft or NVIDIA.

Solution and Recommendations

For users committed to playing these Forza titles on PC despite the setback, a driver rollback remains the most practical option. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) can assist in removing the current driver, allowing installation of driver 576.88 from NVIDIA's website.

For a seamless experience, switching to an Xbox console is recommended, as these devices remain unaffected by PC driver modifications.
