Intel Releases Updated Generic Drivers for Intel HD4000 Graphics, Fixes Bugs

[demandarin]

I've just tried crysis 2 using intel driver and I couldn't run it smoothly unless i set it to 800X600

Did you make sure to put the pro in high performance mode while gaming? Mines plays pretty smoothly at 720p resolution. You keep vsync off? I forgot the other settings as I know the lowest is high. But I think some you can cut off. Or try 720p resolution but no HD textures or something similar. Although I leave mines on.

Credit for this goes to member Be77solo. Here is the latest Intel Graphics Driver for The pro 1 Hd4000 or pro 2 HD 4400. As usual, likely brings increased graphics performance and access to latest Intel Graphics Control Panel. Driver date is 11/20. Version # 15.38.8.64.3345 aka 10.18.10.3345

The release notes mention DirectX 9 optimizations, so DX9 games are where I'd look first.

Did you installed it with the *.exe file?

yes

 

[pierre118]

yes

Try to install it with the *.zip file

- Unzip the Win64_15338.zip
- Go to Device Manager/Display adpater/Driver/Update driver
- Browse my computer for driver software
- Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer, have disk
- Browse to the unpacked files, and go the the folder Graphics
- choose igdlh64.inf, open it, and click next
- it will install
- Reboot

Can take a long time......Success!

ps, it will be better to uninstall the old drivers first....

That's because Windows Update checks the driver versions of the installed software on your SP. The graphics driver that you manually installed doesn't match with what is 'needed'.

Always first install the Windows Update, and after that you manually install the graphics driver. Windows update will come back later with the update you already installed, ignore it, or better right click it and 'hide' the update.

It is also important that you choose the option 'check for updates but let me choose whether to download or install them'. Otherwise the update will always be installed and revert your graphic driver.
