ARC Raiders Expedition 4 is coming soon! | Nvidia Driver Update and Bug Fixes

ARC Raiders has recently received several key updates and community updates.

For example, Flashpoint update added new weapons, new map states, and some new missions, bringing players a lot of freshness and fun.

But that's not all. There are temporary solutions to issues players have encountered, such as account anomalies and frequent crashes, as well as official hints about the next phase of content. Meanwhile, the Nvidia driver update also brings additional graphics and performance improvements to the game. Let's discuss these in detail.

Account Token Anomalies

Some players have shared on the community that their ARC Raiders tokens have dropped to -1720, showing a negative balance. This is most likely because some players obtained in-game currency from other platforms and then refunded it.

The official response was not to directly ban the account, but only to handle the negative balance. Compared to some games that would directly ban your account, or at least keep it banned until you pay off the debt, this is a relatively mild approach. Other players should avoid similar actions to prevent account risks.

Crash Fixes

The PC non-Steam version has recently experienced frequent crashes. The development team has confirmed the issue and is working on a fix. They are usually quick to fix game crashes, so there's no need to worry too much.

If you're also encountering this problem, you can try the following temporary solutions:

Locate the game's executable file (.exe) and create a shortcut. Add Dx 11 launch parameter to the end of the target path. This can effectively reduce the probability of crashes, but it may disable DLSS or any other graphics enhancements, as they rely on DX 12 functionality.

You can also try resetting and repairing the game application itself. Open Windows search, type Xbox, right-click the Xbox app, go to app settings, and try repairing it. If the repair doesn't work, try resetting. This will clear some corrupted Xbox app data without affecting the game itself.

Of course, if the above methods still don't work, it's recommended to use Display Driver Uninstaller to uninstall the driver and then install a fresh driver.

Additionally, many players have encountered a bug where resource tracking cannot be canceled, resulting in a fixed display of a specific item tracking icon. Players can open their inventory and find the log in the top center. The log shows which items are actually being tracked. Clicking "X" button in the tracking list will remove these icons from the tracking list, resolving the display anomaly.

New content coming soon!

The current Expedition 3 will end on April 28th. Following the official update schedule, the next phase of the expedition content is usually announced 2-3 weeks in advance, so an announcement for Expedition 4 is expected soon.

It's worth noting that a player directly asked the community manager about this week's Expedition announcement. She stated that she doesn't have any relevant information yet. However, this doesn't mean there won't be an announcement this week.

With less than three weeks until Riven Tides event on April 28th, this transition from Expedition 3 to Expedition 4 will bring new quests related to the new coastal map, new project ranks, new ARC Raiders blueprints, and reward resets, adding a wealth of new content to the game.

Interestingly, the name Riven Tides comes from Embark Studios' 2026 upgrade roadmap, with the final update named Riven Tides. The roadmap image points to a coastal map with water features - something players haven't seen in Rust Belt yet.

Players have two to three weeks to complete their current Expedition progress and earn rewards. After that, the update will bring a wealth of new content, making it more attractive to both returning and new players.

Will you participate in this new Expedition? Are you still participating in the previous Expedition? As a true ARC Raiders enthusiast, I hope they'll add some extra content to provide more motivation to participate in Expedition.

Nvidia Driver Update

Nvidia App 11.07 has been officially released, bringing some new features to DLSS 4.5 technology.

It not only updates DLSS's performance mode but also adds DLSS 4.5 frame generation. This feature will add additional engine data to some games, thereby improving the visual quality and clarity of user interface elements.

This applies to all RTX 2000 series and higher graphics cards. Players can configure the game separately in the Nvidia driver settings: set the frame generation mode to Preset B and use the recommended mode for super-resolution to enable the latest optimizations. This setting needs to be manually adjusted, and enabling it will significantly improve image stability and smoothness.

Overall, ARC Raiders is still iterating rapidly, with high bug-fixing efficiency. Future Expedition content is worth looking forward to. Players can optimize their settings according to their own needs to smoothly transition to the next Expedition.

Of course, don't forget to prepare plenty of materials in advance for Expedition 4! We're really looking forward to the new loot that Expedition 4 will bring!
