Clean Driver Installation

Installing new drivers

On some occasions errors within Knald are due to cached shaders that the driver hasn't compiled correctly or are corrupted in some way. Whenever you install a new driver we always recommend that you perform a clean installation and delete any cached shaders if they are present on your system.

Performing a Clean Installation of the driver

  • Download the latest NVIDIA and start the installation process.
  • In the Installation options choose “Custom (Advanced)” rather than the default “Express (Recommended)”.
Shader Cache Options
  • In the proceeding window check the “Perform a clean installation” box and then press the “Next” button.
  • Reboot once the installation has been completed.
Shader Cache Options

Deleting the Shader Cache

  1. Go to your NVIDIA control panel> Manage 3D Settings, turn off Shader Cache and hit Apply
  2. Reboot your PC
  3. Go to %username%\AppData\Local\Temp\NVIDIA Corporation\NV_Cache and delete the contents of the folder (You can paste that address directly into a Windows address bar)
  4. Go back to your NVIDIA control panel> Manage 3D Settings, turn On Shader Cache and hit Apply
  5. Try Knald.
