Intel has released Arc Graphics driver version 101.7026 WHQL, aimed at fixing a number of bugs in popular games.
The update eliminates graphical artifacts in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Final Fantasy XVI on Arc B (Battlemage) series video cards, as well as on 2nd generation Intel Core Ultra processors with integrated graphics (Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake-H).
However, some problems remain. These include artifacts in the game PEAK when launched via DX12 (they are absent with Vulkan), performance degradation in Broken Arrow after changing graphics settings, as well as unstable operation of World of Warcraft: Dragonflight when switching between graphics APIs.
In addition, crashes are still recorded in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 (DX12) on Arc A (Alchemist) series GPUs when ray tracing and XeSS scaling technology are enabled.
