Need for Speed: Underground problem with Iris Xe Graphics driver

ameldur — Tue, 05 Apr 2022 09:06:20 GMT

I installed Need for Speed: Underground on my new device which is with Intel(R) Iris(R) Xe Graphics

and when trying to run it just does not open, Windows event viewer shows an error which is related to drivers, on my other device which is with Intel UHD Graphics 620 runs great, just having issues on Iris Xe. I have the latest version of the drivers.

Check the attached file report from Support Utility tool.

SYSTEM:

Windows 10 Home - 64bit - 21H2

PROCESSOR:

11th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-1195G7 @ 2.90GHz

GRAPHIC CARD:

Intel Iris Xe Graphics

Hello ameldur,

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I understand you are having issues with your Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics.

In order to better assist you, please provide the following:

1. Where did you download the game from (Steam, Epic, etc)?

2. The other computer is the same brand as the actual one (ONE-NETBOOK ONE XPLAYER)? If not, what is the brand and model name?

3. Do you see any error while trying to open the game or it just does not respond at all?

4. Do you have the same problem with other games? If so, which games?

Hello ameldur,

Thanks for all the information. Based on your issue, I would like you to try the following:

1. Update your Windows 10 version to the latest version and build.

2. As a test, try the latest ONE-NETBOOK ONE XPLAYER drivers from the laptop manufacturer's website.

3. Try a complete uninstallation of the game and then reinstall it.

4. Try to check with the game developer for additional information.

5. Try a clean installation of the Intel drivers:

Best regards,

These all steps already have been done before i open thread here 🙂

Thats why i assume its Intel Xe drivers issue as Windows Event error refers to driver error.

And its working on any other device including on other Intel video graphics as i mention Intel UHD Graphics 620.

Game is pretty old and might be still not in compatibility list of Intel Xe as is Intel Xe still considered new, im not sure if there any other platform to report for driver issues than here

Hello ameldur,

In this case, this game is not available on any digital distribution service like Steam, EA, so it seems this game is only available via retail CD, If we cannot legally obtain the game we cannot work on this bug report.

Bear in mind that the most tricky part is that working on bugs requires multiple teams to require access to the software for different phases (triage, debug, development), and not always they are done in the same location/country that is why we need to procure access to the affected app.

Hi David

You are right game is stripped from online sales long time ago and no more can be bought online, in this case this issue will be left on shelf to catch dust, will report games which have same issues and available in Steam, maybe if Intel fix issue in other game will fix issue related to this old games too
