Intel releases a fix for Arc GPUs following Starfield launch issues

Intel has introduced patches for its Arc series GPUs after reports of difficulties launching the anticipated RPG from Bethesda - Starfield. The new driver, it's claimed, improves game start times and stability.

Initially, gamers encountered the game potentially using up to 30GB of system memory at launch, causing delays and crashes. The game would run in the background and sometimes crash just minutes into gameplay.

Intel Graphics' official account had previously acknowledged the issue and promised a resolution ahead of Starfield's global release on September 6th. With the release of the new driver, it's hoped that many of these challenges will be addressed.
