Intel Resolves Most Starfield Game-Breaking Bugs With Latest Arc GPU Driver Release

wccftech.com:

Intel's support for Starfield has been rocky but the latest Arc Game-On drivers resolve most of the glaring issues, offering a better experience to gamers.

Starfield is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, releases for PC this year and the game has so far received overwhelmingly positive reviews from across the gaming industry. AMD users had some of the best optimizations within the game as soon as the game was available in early access a few days ago and NVIDIA also had a pre-launch driver that supports Starfield and offers decent GPU performance. Meanwhile, Intel's Arc GPUs have been facing various issues leading to game crashes and other visual and performance instability.

Now, Intel has quickly cooked up its 31.0.101.4672 BETA Game-On driver for Intel Arc & Iris GPUs to deliver a more optimal gaming experience within Starfield. This new release definitely is something that was much needed as the game is just a few days away from global release. Meanwhile, gamers who are running an Arc GPU and want to play Starfield in the early access period can also use this driver and begin their adventure of the universe.

Following is the changelog for the latest Intel Arc GPU driver release:
