Intel Drivers 32.0.101.6989 has fixed A series GPUs for Battlefield 6

[ClothCanMat99]

Creating a new topic in the hope it'll attract attention of anyone coming and quick searching, because the driver version above is not immediately accessible/obvious.

Intel have released version 32.0.101.6989 today (8th August) which as fixed the freezing that prevented many (all?) of us on Intel A series cards from entering. 

I hadn't yet gotten to the control panel fix recommended by others yesterday, and can confirm the above drivers have allowed me to immediately enter and play, vs yesterday where each attempt either crashed or froze and required a hard reset.

I've played a number of maps and modes to confirm this.

The regular driver page is still showing 32.0.101.6897 as of time of writing but if you go to Intel's driver search page here, it the latest version should appear at the top.

If these links don't work for some reason, you can access the search page by visiting the latest drivers page (which lands on v 6897) and then hit "Drivers and Software" up in the top left and then "Graphics" in the centre on the next screen, you'll land on the search page with a list of drivers on the right. The latest version should be present there.

Enjoy,

it did fix the issues but not entirely. Played for a full 30 min then suddenly while loading map got this error again(after updating to 32.0.101.6989) but couldn't take screenshot because my entire pc froze. Restarted the pc then again playing the game for an hour and got this error AGAIN.

I could get into a map but I have family visiting so no time to play - perhaps there will be more updates before next weekend when Open Beta Part II continues. I have a B580 on the way from Amazon so there's that....

Hey mate this fix didn't actually fix anything for Battlefield 6. I still experience a crash to desktop without report window, no freezing, just an immediate close before I could click on matchmaking option. It literally crashes to desktop within seconds of opening the game.
I did have the work around utilising legacy software of 101.6083 which actually worked great but now longer an option, I've also tried changing the display settings from borderless to windowed and fullscreen but still a hard crash.
If this is what is to be expected on the full release of the game I'll be heading back to Nvidia

Hello ClothCanMat99,

Thank you for the feedback. To help you resolve this, please try to perform a Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) and reinstall the Intel® Arc™ & Iris® Xe Graphics - Windows*

Once updated, please observe your system to determine if the issue continues.

Best regards,

Bit too late, the beta is gone and DDU didn't fix the issue either
