Intel Releases Arc Driver To Address Starfield Issues

With the official Starfield Launch coming in just 2 days Intel has launched a Driver update to ensure their Arc graphics cards are ready following several complaints from Arc owners attempting to play during the game’s Early Access period.

Intel Arc Graphics Driver 31.0.101.4672

This new driver update which is available now has been released as a hotfix for Starfield so that Arc owners will get at least one day of early access to gameplay before the game launches. The new driver package has been temporarily increased to significantly reduce the load times for Starfield. The instability issues and application crashes have been fixed and the texture corruptions and flickering have also been fixed.

Alongside Starfield fixes, this driver has also provided Game-On support for SYNCED which is a futuristic free-to-play co-op shooter from NExT Studios. Synced Launches on the 8th of September on Steam, PS5 and Xbox.
