Hi, 

I would celebrate 30 years of Quake. 
I updated my Steam version to the latest version. 

I also Updatet my Intel B850 to the latest driver. 
I added the crash log from quake and a screenshot from the latest driver for my Intel B580

With my Intel Arc A750 I played Quake the last time in 2023 without any issues.
