Hi there! Briefly: an Nvidia driver update broke a bunch of games including Starsector; the 378.57 hotfix release of the graphics drivers fixes this.

Probably here? As always with driver updates, though, be careful.

Do you know if the latest release is safe?

I don't, actually - but given that there hasn't been more about it, it probably is. Especially if its version number is later than 378.57.
