Graphical Issues on Intel ARC GPUs

[gh192]

NOTICE

These graphical issues appear to not be occuring when running on Vulkan rather than DirectX

So how do i change the game's renderer?

@gh192 Please report back after updating your graphics driver to its latest version as mentioned in

Same issue using Intel Arc using latest drivers.

Intel Core Ultra 7 155H using Intel Arc Graphics (integrated)
Windows 11 24H2
32.0.101.6632

For now I will switch to Vulkan. Intel Arc notoriously has issues with drivers so I am sorry that the devs have to deal with this lol.
If there is any way I can help like provide logs I would be happy to do so.

Intel Arc and Xe drivers are completely different from UHD graphics, so this issue is not related

More information about the issue.
Only occurs on DirectX12 and is related to the blur effect. Turning the blur effect off solves the issue. Apologies, now I know it was actually related to anti aliasing. Turning blur off just helped
It seems it is random how the blur glitches. Sometimes it will completely glitch out like the picture OP posted, but sometimes it will be a subtle glitch that spans the bottom of the screen. Tabbing out of the game and then back in changes the blur glitch effect.

I am on 32.0.101.6632 and can confirm I have the same issue, I am using an Intel Arc A770 16GB as well. Vulkan only made it worse for me as it started having strobe lights on Sonic's werehog model. Attached image is D3D12 with werehog.

I'm also on a Ryzen 7 5800X3D with the GPU with REBAR enabled. So I do not believe it is Intel CPU related.

@goilup Please move your issue to the already existing relating issue regarding the werehog fur on Intel ARC.

• Werehog Fur glitches out with Intel ARC GPUs #485

@gh192 Please report back if updating the drivers has fixed your originally described issue here on D3D12 or if it still happens even when not selecting Vulkan as the GraphicsAPI

[gh192]

Unfortunately the issues here are still occuring on DirectX12 or anything outside of Vulkan

If you are experiencing these issues, could you please try the build from the link below and show screenshots with the F1 profiler window visible? Make sure anti aliasing is enabled.

Solved on my end too!
I'm using integrated Arc Graphics on an Intel Core Ultra 7 155H. (latest driver 32.0.101.6632)
I tested tabbing in and out of the game and it did not glitch out/change the glitch like before, everything is good now. I am using all default settings (2x MSAA)
