After releasing the WHQL 31.0.101.5592 driver a few days ago, Intel sent another one today. Unlike the previous update, today’s non-WHQL driver adds support for two upcoming games: Final Fantasy XIV: Dawnrail and the first offspring.

The 31.0.101.5592 driver does not patch or fix anything other than optimizations for both games. Also, keep in mind that non-WHQL certified drivers may be less stable. The WHQL version of today’s release shouldn’t 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 app crash during gameplay while changing window context with Alt + Tab.
• Enshrouded (VK) may experience an app crash during gameplay.
• Doom Eternal (VK) may exhibit intermittent flashing corruption in the game menu and during gameplay.
• Topaz Video AI may encounter errors when exporting videos after using certain video enhancement models.

Intel Core Ultra with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

• Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (DX12) may experience an app crash while loading the game.
• PugetBench Extended Preset Benchmark may fail some Adobe Premiere Pro rendering tests.
• Topaz Video AI may encounter errors when running certain benchmarks.
• Procyon AI may experience an application crash while running a benchmark with exact Float32.
• Launching a game with Endurance Gaming engaged may cause VSync to persist after disconnecting Endurance Gaming during gameplay. A workaround is to restart the app.

Intel Core processor products (12-14 generation):

• Dragon Quest X Online (DX9) may experience sporadic app crashes during gameplay

As usual, Intel graphics drivers are available on 64-bit Windows 10 and 11 systems and on the following video cards or processors:
