The game is a game distributed by Steam. The game itself does not run. It doesn't work when I run it from the beginning. The game freezes and is forced to quit without any error message.

Hello DanSun,

Thank you for the information provided. We have received the Intel SSU report. We will now proceed to further look into this matter internally, and we will post back as soon as we have further details.

Hello DanSun,

We want to thank you for your patience in waiting for a reponse, and we apologize for the long wait. We have been looking into this issue, and we have tried to replicate this problem internally; however, we can play the game without any problem. You can take a look at the video of our test. Based on that, we want to ask if there is anything special we need to do or let us know if we are missing something.

Since the issue is not replicated on our end, we recommend you install the latest driver, 31.0.101.4826. We invite you to run the Display Driver Uninstaller before installing the driver. Remember that the DDU tool will eliminate all previous drivers' leftovers. Look at our article "How to Use the Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) to Uninstall an Intel® Graphics Driver" for further instructions about how to use the tool.

Best regards,

I'll try reinstalling the driver using DDU as requested. It's currently a holiday season in Korea, so it may take some time to confirm. Please give me a few weeks to test it.

Jean_Intel · ‎09-29-2023

Hello DanSun,

We understand that you may need some time to try reinstalling the driver using DDU since it's currently a holiday season in your country. We will keep this thread open for a while, and in case we don't hear back from you, we will post back to you in two weeks to confirm whether or not you need more time.

Enjoy the holiday season!

Best regards,

The screen freezes like this and the game is forced to quit. Deleting the driver with DDU and using the latest 4826 driver does not solve the problem.

When I first played this game, I used to be Radeon, but I was stored as a save file in this game and I wondered if it was because of it. Can you give me some save files? And please save the save file.

DanSun · ‎10-01-2023

I tried to find the save file and replace it, but it didn't work, so I don't seem to know the cause.

Jean_Intel · ‎10-02-2023

Hello DanSun,

Thank you so much for the information, and for checking if replacing the saved file will solve your issue. Allow us some time to research this matter internally. We will post back as soon as we have more details.

Best regards,

Before I played this game for the first time, the CPU was Ryzen 2700X and the Radeon was VEGA64. Currently, only the CPU is 5950X and the GPU is Intel A770.

It's a steam game

Jean_Intel · ‎10-02-2023

Hello DanSun

We understand that you made some changes to the system and you played the game with a different CPU and GPU. To discard that the issue is being caused by a game configutation file set to the previous system components, uninstall and reinstall the game, and test one more time. Let us know if the issue persistst after reinstalling the game.

There is no way to restore the system to the state before the game was installed using an image backup, except for restoring saves to Steam Cloud. I checked the registry, but it wasn't there.

Jean_Intel · ‎10-03-2023

Hello DanSun,

We understand that there is no way to restore the system; however, we would like to recommend you reinstall the game for testing purposes.

Until now, I had to reinstall and uninstall the game every time I updated the driver. But it had no effect.

Jean_Intel · ‎10-04-2023

Hello DanSun,

Thank you for letting us know that you have tried reinstalling the game. We will proceed to resume our research on this matter. We will post back as soon as we have more details.

After reviewing the situation, we have determined that the issue is not related to the driver, as the game worked on our end. We suggest contacting the game developer for further assistance.
