Following the release of WHQL driver 31.0.101.5592 a few days ago, Intel today shipped another one. Unlike the previous update, today’s non-WHQL driver adds support for two upcoming games: Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail and The First Descendant.
Driver 31.0.101.5592 does not fix or patch anything except for optimizations for the two games. Also, keep in mind that non-WHQL-certified drivers could be less stable. A WHQL variant of today’s release should not take too long to arrive. Also, beware of the following known bugs:
Intel Arc A-Series Graphics Products:
- No Man’s Sky (VK) may experience an application crash during gameplay while changing window context with Alt + Tab.
- Enshrouded (VK) may experience an application crash during gameplay.
- Doom Eternal (VK) may exhibit intermittent flickering corruption in the game menu and during gameplay.
- Topaz Video AI may experience errors when exporting videos after using some models for video enhancements.
Intel Core Ultra with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:
- Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (DX12) may experience an application crash on loading to gameplay.
- PugetBench Extended Preset Benchmark may fail to complete on certain Adobe Premiere Pro Processing Tests.
- Topaz Video AI may experience errors on running certain benchmark tests.
- Procyon AI may experience an application crash while running benchmark with precision float32.
- Launching a game with Endurance Gaming engaged may result in VSync persisting on after disengaging Endurance Gaming during gameplay. A workaround is to relaunch the application.
Intel Core Processor (12th -14th Generation) Products:
- Dragon Quest X Online (DX9) may experience sporadic application crash during gameplay
As usual, Intel’s graphics drivers are available on systems with 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 and the following graphics cards or processors:
| Discrete GPUs | Integrated GPUs |
|---|---|
| Intel Arc A-Series (Alchemist) Intel Iris Xe Discrete Graphics (DG1) |
Intel Core Ultra (Meteor Lake) Intel Core 14th Gen (Raptor Lake Refresh) Intel Core 13th Gen (Raptor Lake) Intel Core 12th Gen (Alder Lake) Intel Core 11th Gen (Tiger Lake) |
