Thanks Yups. Can you by any chance test the games?

[IMilo]

Please, let us know how it is possible to provide beta driver for games, when base functionality of graphic adapter is not working?

People who want to extend or duplicate monitors to DVI or HDMI are having a major flaws.

Does Intel have a test center? Is it possible to test your new driver with windows 7 on haswell boards with processors equipped Intel HD 4600?

I can not imagine company like that, and shameful situation like this.

Hi Gosa

We appreciate your feedback however, this thread was specifically started to track driver compatibility with specific games and the beta driver. Please post your concerns with other display issues in the appropriate threads.

So there are issues installing this beta driver on Surface Pros. When using the setup in the folder it states that this driver is not validated.

To avoid this I attempted to install through device manager and after guiding it to the folder, it attempts to install for a brief moment. Then it says that "windows has determined that driver is already up to date" so the beta driver has not installed using either of these methods.

Is there another way to install this driver?

[ROBERT_U_Intel]

@hass,,I just verified installation on a Surface Pro 2 with Windows 8.1. Here are the steps I used:

1. Login with administrator privileges

2. Open Control Panel

3. Open Device Manager

4. Click on "Display adapters"

5. Double click "Intel HD Graphics"

6. Click on the "Driver" tab

7. Click on "Update Driver" button

8. Click on "Browse my computer for driver software"

9. Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer"

10. Click on "Have Disk" button

11. Click "Browse"

12. Navigate to the folder that you unzipped the Beta Intel HD Graphics driver to

13.Navigate to the Graphics sub-folder

14. Double click the igdlh64.inf or igdlh.inf file <-- depends on if you have 32 or 64 bit OS

15.Click "OK"

16. Click "Next"

Driver should now be installing.

17. If successful, click "Close"

Reboot.

Thank you so much! I hadn't been doing the "have disc" part so total user error there.

Titanfall comes out march 11th so I'll post some feedback once I can test it out.

I tried everything step by step but when it " is done with the installation of the new Beta Drivers (15.33.14.64.3412)" the driver is the same.( 10.18.10.3345)

HELP PLEASE

I have a Toshiba S875 Satellite Laptop with a i7-3610QM 2.30 Ghz , win 7

I followed the procedure you posted earlier on how to install the beta drivers, but as soon as the drivers updated, my laptop's screen began blinking on and off indefinitely.

I simply clicked Roll Back Driver to undo the update to fix it.

I am certainly hoping this new update will work, because I've been meaning to play Titanfall with these better drivers. Can this be fixed?

(on windows 8.1) After installing this driver , my laptop display stopped working .. i had to restore my old system restore backup using safe mode.. please fix this issue.. its a hp probook 4440s with intel hd 4000

[ROBERT_U_Intel]

@ suyash691,, HP customizes the drivers for their systems. Installing the generic drivers can result in the system not functioning properly. That is why we do not recommend installing the generic drivers on a system with customized drivers. Sometimes it works, sometimes it does not.

[SSalu1]

i have been installing the non beta driver from intel website and they work so your assumption seems wrong.... and ALL drivers from intel site have been working except this one

[ROBERT_U_Intel]

@ suyash691,, thanks for the additional information. This is a beta driver, so the feedback on issues found with it are appreciated.

[SSalu1]

can u provide any eta on a stable release , i've been waiting to play thief since last week

[SSalu1]

i think i found the cause of the black screen maybe ...... this time after installing driver and getting black screen i went to safe mode and checked system 32 folder and found that every file copied by this new driver had a suffix of "v2_0" like "custommodeappv2_0" and even every dll file had that ...... Is it intentional for every file to have a version 2_0 suffix on their file names??

[ROBERT_U_Intel]

@ suyash691,, can you attach a screen capture of the System32 directory? I don't see any issues with the naming of the files after I install the drivers.

Robert

[SSalu1]

here it goes

[SSalu1]

btw kudos to intel team and community moderators for being cooperative with the end users like us and not ignoring us

[ROBERT_U_Intel]

@ suyash691. Thanks for posting the image. The file naming you see is not an issue. The beta driver has an updated version of the Intel HD Graphics Control Panel and the file names with the 2_0 you see are all files associated with it.

Also, did you uninstall the existing driver before installing the beta? If you want to try again, create a Restore Point first and then go to Programs and Features in the Control Panel and uninstall the Intel Graphics Driver. Reboot and then install the Beta. Let me know how it goes.

[SSalu1]

not working .... anyways when do you think a driver supporting laptops will be released ? ... i believe the issue is in the driver not detecting the laptops inbuilt display but sadly i cannot check it as i don't have a secondary monitor but i believe that it is the issue cuz the screen's backlight turns off as soon as windows finishes bootscreen
