Buli can you do me a favor and look on your BFV cd to see what version of the nvidia drivers came bundled with it?

Thanks Dazog for his pointing out in Back Page News that NVIDIA have uploaded their latest offering -v56.64, to their public FTP. These are a tad newer than the 56.56 drivers shipped with Battlefield: Vietnam so they should fix the various lightmap issues GeForce users have already been experiencing with the older drivers on BFV.

Update: NVIDIA have already updated their website with the new driver revision

Noticable changes in this release is a new Desktop right click menu option that takes you straight to the NVIDIA display properties, bypassing the need to browse from Display Properties to Advanced and then to the NVIDIA tab, nice touch!
