Intel released 101.8864 Beta Arc GPU Graphics drivers with no new game optimizations but critical fixes for crashes in "Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced," "Assassin's Creed Shadows," and "Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Siege" when upgrading drivers if shaders were compiled with a previous version.

The fix spans Panther Lake Core Ultra Series 3 iGPUs, Battlemage Arc B-series discrete GPUs, Alchemist Arc A-series discrete GPUs, Meteor Lake Core Ultra Series 1 iGPUs, and Lunar Lake Core Ultra Series 2 iGPUs. Drivers also resolve display corruption during cutscenes in "LEGO Batman: Legacy of Dark Knight."

Known issues persist across product lines, including crashes in "Mafia: The Old Country," "Borderlands 4," and "Marathon" with anisotropic filtering, plus corruption in "Forza Horizon 6" and "007 First Light." Intel recommends clearing cached shader files as mitigation for some issues.

Software bugs include Intel Graphics Software crashes when resetting settings in Windows 10, metric rearrangement crashes, and performance page graph hiding malfunctions.
