Need for Speed Heat* Will Not Launch on Intel® Arc™ Graphics
Content Type: Troubleshooting | Article ID: 000094741 | Last Reviewed: 07/28/2023
When trying to launch the game, it crashes on the desktop with an error message:
"Detected Intel driver version #1 31.0.101.4255 03/16/2023. The recommended driver version is xx.xx.15.4251 or later. Please update your drivers."
Per the Intel Developer team's findings, the application is the source of the issue. The game's error message is caused by an outdated format that checks the driver version, leading the game to believe that it's old, even though it's not. Check with the game developer for further updates.
