When can we expect a new graphics driver for Starfield?

[SandroDjents]

With the latest Driver (31.0.101.4672) the game starts for me and is sort of playable on an Arc A770 | Ryzen 7 5800x3D with about 20-30 fps in some areas, but It's still crashing and frame dropping in crowded areas, in front of Buildings and in some interiors.

Please let us know when we can expect a driver that makes the game enjoyable.

Many thanks,

Sandro

Hello SandroDjents,

Thank you for posting in the Intel communities. We would be more than happy to help you with the Starfield issue you reported.

We would like to let you know that we have implemented some fixes in the driver that solve some problems with the Starfield game. However, we are currently investigating a fix for other problems with the game; unfortunately, we can commit to an estimated time or update. We want to review your issue further; nevertheless, we request gather more information about your system, so please provide us with the following reports:

• Intel®️ System Support Utility (Intel®️ SSU)
  • Open the application and click "Scan" to see the system and device information. By default, Intel®️ SSU will take you to the "Summary View."
  • Click on the menu where it says: "Summary" to change it to "Detailed View."
  • To save your scan, click "Next" and then "Save."
• Intel® Graphics Command Center:
  • Open the Intel Graphics Command Center
  • Navigate to the Support tab
  • Select System Diagnostic
  • Click Generate Report
  • Select Save and name the output file.

We also would like to know if you have tried running the Display Driver Uninstaller. If you haven't, check How to Use the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to Uninstall an Intel® Graphics Driver for instructions. The DDU tool will eliminate all drivers and leftover files from previous driver versions and install the driver 31.0.101.4672 again.

They launched a new driver yesterday (4676) but the framerate is still terrible. Even on 1080P I can't hit over 50fps.

In case you wanted to know a few reasons on why Starfield is so unoptimized.

Bethesda has gone so low they are now claiming the Intel cards don't meet the minimum requirements lol. I did myself a favor and refunded this trash game and got a proper game, baldurs gate 3.
