NEW Intel Arc Drivers 31.0.101.4644 – Intel FIXED sleep mode bug? XESS 1.2 Now Available

Hello! I am back with another video and hopefully more frequent ones to come. There was a lot going on with the floods, me needing some time off etc … but the main point is that I am back.

Got some news for you regarding Intel Arc. They “fixed” the sleep mode power cycle bug which I wasn’t getting anywhere but lets test it out anyways. Did you have this problem not being able to boot your PC from sleep?

XESS 1.2 got released on github. Not that its fully compatible with the titles that use older version but okay … if Intel says so then “it must be so”.

Lots of Shenanigans going on with LTT … not sure what to say about that but I knew the A750 test back then was well.

XESS can be found here: https://github.com/intel/xess/releases/tag/v1.2.0
Not that replacing it will work in most “older” titles that use XESS. Do note that you have to leave the loader dll files in there otherwise game probably won’t start (looking at you MW2).
