Fix stuff...break stuff

[Saabjock]

While I appreciate the numeroud fixes for others, I can't help but notice that Intel keeps breaking existing features in driver releases.

I initially got the green light for VR with beta driver 4090 and it worked flawlessly.

I used it on a consistent basis and then took a break from VR.

I came back a few months later and VR was again off the table with driver 4826.

It was back with driver 4887.

It is now gone again with 4900.

Stop breaking stuff folks. 

At the very minimum, test the previous features before releasing the 'new' drivers.

I've now gone back to 4887 with no other changes to the system....(no Windows updates, no other driver updates and no firmware updates)...and VR again works.

This confirms my findings.

Hello Saabjock,

Since we have not received a response from you, we will proceed to close this thread. As we mentioned before, Intel Arc graphics support for VR headsets continues to evolve as we ramp up our products and add updates to our software stack. If you need any other assistance, please open a new question, as Intel will no longer monitor this thread.
