Is Kb2670838 really still necessary? Over a year ago Stainless patched Reincarnation not to require it any more. Can't they fix Max Damage too? There's no way I'm installing that update.

Bug Fixes

There have been over 350 bugs fixes since launch. Some notable examples:

Removed the Windows 7 requirement for Windows update KB2670838

I have the same problem but with a Geforce GTX1060 so it's not a card issue.

Edit: Acter reading up on Kb2670838 there's no way I'm installing that update. There's a very good reason why MS aren't trying to foist that on anyone. I guess it's down to Stainless to patch the need for it out of the game like they did with the last one.

What exactly are the horrendous problems with that update which produce such fear from people who are told to install it? I've seen loads of people say there's "very good reasons" not to install it but I haven't ever seen anyone give a very good reason outside of vague "I read it breaks things".
