Arc Control keeps going back to default settings after relaunching app or restarting system

Xillvion — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 10:27:19 GMT

In Arc Control, the Retro Scaling Type, Anti-aliasing and Allow Data Collection setting will go back to it's default values after rebooting the system or just relaunching the app.

Those defaults are, Scaled Width, Anti-Aliasing Force off, and enabled data collection.

Please, can it respect changes done by the user, it's rather annoying, especially since I had issues with Retro Scaling under Command Center software.

...for the data collection one, is it forced on Beta drivers?

Hello Xillvion,

Thank you for contacting Intel Technical Support for graphics.

We are sorry to hear you experience problems with Intel® ARC control not keeping the settings after a reboot. We are glad to assist.

Let us gather the entire information about the problem in order to provide a possible solution.

Did you notice the problem after a change?
What’s your Intel® ARC control version?
Which drivers have you tested?

My recommendation, please perform either a Clean Installation of Intel® Graphics Drivers in Windows (manual step-by-step walkthrough click here) or checkmark the box on the driver installer window as well. Try on both driver types, we remain attentive to updates.

Intel® Graphics Driver 31.0.101.3959 (download go to website https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/726609/intel-arc-graphics-windows-dch-driver.html )
Intel® Graphics Beta Driver 31.0.101.3975 (download go to website https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/download/729157/intel-arc-graphics-windows-dch-driver-beta.html )

Of course
Right now, I'm on version 1.59.4182.2. This version only forces Anti-aliasing to the default setting. Not sure for the Beta driver one.
Those two drivers you suggested, however one of my games refuses to work at all. Currently using 31.0.101.3802 in the meantime.

If I'm not wrong, the .NET Core Runtime 3.1 is required for Arc Control to work, right? I did try updating it to the most recent version of it.

Hello Xillvion, thank you for the update.

Can you test the beta driver version and determine if it breaks the anti aliasing feature too?
Which game refuses to work with which driver version? Any crashes/errors?

Yes it does
DirectX 11 Fortnite, 31.0.101.3959 and the latest beta drivers. I have already reported the problems here: https://community.intel.com/t5/Graphics/DirectX-12-on-Fortnite-no-longer-supported-on-Intel-graphics/td-p/1435524

I have a video, trying to turn off the Retro Scaling setting, data collection setting seems to be unaffected on that driver, here:
