Intel 31.0.101.5593 non-WHQL driver adds Final Fantasy XIV and The First Descendant support

Following the release of WHQL driver 31.0.101.5592 a few days ago, Intel today shipped another one. Unlike the previous update, today"s non-WHQL driver adds support for two upcoming games: Final Fantasy XIV: Dawntrail and The First Descendant.

Driver 31.0.101.5592 does not fix or patch anything except for optimizations for the two games. Also, keep in mind that non-WHQL-certified drivers could be less stable. A WHQL variant of today"s release should not take too long to arrive. Also, beware of the following known bugs:

Intel Arc A-Series Graphics Products:

  • No Man’s Sky (VK) may experience an application crash during gameplay while changing window context with Alt + Tab.
  • Enshrouded (VK) may experience an application crash during gameplay.
  • Doom Eternal (VK) may exhibit intermittent flickering corruption in the game menu and during gameplay.
  • Topaz Video AI may experience errors when exporting videos after using some models for video enhancements.

Intel Core Ultra with built-in Intel Arc GPUs:

  • Uncharted: Legacy of Thieves Collection (DX12) may experience an application crash on loading to gameplay.
  • PugetBench Extended Preset Benchmark may fail to complete on certain Adobe Premiere Pro Processing Tests.
  • Topaz Video AI may experience errors on running certain benchmark tests.
  • Procyon AI may experience an application crash while running benchmark with precision float32.
  • Launching a game with Endurance Gaming engaged may result in VSync persisting on after disengaging Endurance Gaming during gameplay. A workaround is to relaunch the application.

Intel Core Processor (12th -14th Generation) Products:

  • Dragon Quest X Online (DX9) may experience sporadic application crash during gameplay
