[Bug Report] Severe Compatibility Issues with Intel Integrated Graphics (Arc Series) on Vulkan API

XingChenDaHai — Mon, 20 Apr 2026 10:41:22 GMT

Issue Description:
Intel integrated graphics cards are experiencing severe compatibility issues with Arknights: Endfield.

Reproduction Steps & Symptoms:
The issue occurs when using a laptop connected to an external monitor via DP/HDMI in "clamshell mode" (laptop lid closed, using only the external display).

When launching the game with the Vulkan backend (default), the screen goes black multiple times briefly. This behavior resembles the flickering seen during resolution or refresh rate switching. The display eventually stabilizes.

However, if I switch focus to another window and then switch back to the game window, the black screen flickering issue is triggered again.

Additional Observations:

D3D11 Mode: The issue does not occur when launching with D3D11, but the 1% Low FPS performance is very poor in this mode.

Internal Display: When using the laptop's built-in screen, there is only brief flickering (shorter duration than the black screen), and switching windows does not re-trigger the issue.

VRR: The issue persists regardless of whether Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) is enabled or disabled on the external monitor.

Prevalence: This has been confirmed as a widespread issue within the Chinese gaming community. Reports indicate that some Intel discrete GPUs also exhibit this behavior.

Connections: The issue occurs on both DisplayPort and HDMI connections.

Drivers: I have tested all Intel official drivers and OEM drivers released since 2026; the issue persists across all of them.

Hardware Specs:

GPU: Intel Arc A130T (Integrated/Mobile)

英特尔核显对《Arknights: Endfield》这款游戏有严重的兼容性问题

问题表现：

使用笔记本电脑外接屏幕并仅使用这块屏幕（即合上笔记本电脑盖子，使用DP线连接外接屏幕），以Vulkan引擎（默认）启动这个游戏，会出现多次短暂黑屏现象（与切换分辨率、刷新率时产生的短暂黑屏现象一致），之后可以正常显示。但如果尝试切换至其他窗口，仍会出现短暂黑屏，再次切换至游戏窗口，依然可以触发上述问题。

其他补充：

使用D3D11启动时不会出现这个问题，但D3D11状态下运行时low帧很低。
使用笔记本内置屏幕时只会出现多次短暂闪烁（持续时间比黑屏更短），且切换窗口不会再次出现黑屏。
不论外接显示屏是否开启VRR功能，这个问题都存在。
中文互联网中有很多相关问题的报道，确认是普遍问题，且部分英特尔独显也有这个问题。
DP和HDMI都会出现这个问题。
尝试了2026年以来所有的Intel官方驱动与OEM厂商提供的驱动，均有此问题。

硬件：
