Intel 30.0.101.1732 Arc driver fixes CS: GO, PUBG stutter and lag, resolves FIFA 22 crashes

Intel has released 30.0.101.1732 Windows DCH Beta driver for its Arc GPUs, 12th Alder Lake-P, and Alder Lake-H mobile CPUs. The release brings quite a few fixes for popular multiplayer games like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG), Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO), and FIFA 22. Outside of these fixes, the driver also brings optimizations for new releases like Dolmen, which will be the first title with Intel XeSS image upscaling technology support, though it isn't confirmed whether support for the feature will arrive via this driver.
