Intel's New Arc Driver Adds Day-One Support for Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Driver 32.0.101.8992 also covers The Blood of Dawnwalker and fixes corruption bugs in Marathon, Assassin's Creed Revelations, and 007 First Light.

Intel pushed out Arc Graphics driver 32.0.101.8992 on September 3 — a non-WHQL beta for Arc A-series and B-series cards, plus Core Ultra chips with Arc graphics built in. Same week AMD and NVIDIA both shipped their own updates, and Intel's follows the same script: get ready for the week's big PC launches, then quietly clean up a few bugs that have been sitting around.

New Game Support

Game On support now covers Onimusha: Way of the Sword and The Blood of Dawnwalker on Arc A-series, B-series, and Core Ultra's built-in Arc graphics — the exact same two launch titles AMD added to Adrenalin 26.9.1 that same day. Intel doesn't spell out XeSS settings or ray-tracing behavior for either game here, so treat this as "the driver's ready" rather than a performance guide.

Three Fixes Worth Knowing About

The biggest one is in Marathon: certain objects would show intermittent corruption in the DirectX 12 renderer whenever Anisotropic Filtering was turned on. That's now fixed across Arc A-series, B-series, and Core Ultra Series 1 through 3.

The DX9 build of Assassin's Creed Revelations had flickering corruption on Arc B-series and Core Ultra Series 3 — also fixed.

And 007 First Light stops throwing a full-screen display error partway through Chapter 8 on DX12.

What's Still Open

A few known issues carry over unchanged from the last driver. Core Ultra Series 3's integrated Arc graphics can still crash in Mafia: Hometown. Arc B-series cards can crash in Dark Zone Infinite if you turn on terrain surface tessellation under DX12. And PugetBench for DaVinci Resolve Studio may crash mid-benchmark on some runs. Intel's aware of all three; none of them got fixed this round.

All Three GPU Makers, Same Week

Onimusha launched September 3, and by the end of that day all three GPU vendors had a driver ready for it — NVIDIA's 616.64 WHQL (which also brought DLSS 5 to NBA 2K27), AMD's Adrenalin 26.9.1, and now this Arc beta. If you've got an Arc card and you're picking up Onimusha or The Blood of Dawnwalker, grab this one first.

How to Get It

32.0.101.8992 is up now on Intel's download page, or through the update checker built into Intel Graphics Software. It's still beta, not WHQL-certified, so if you'd rather wait for the official stamp, these same fixes should land in a certified release before long.

Intel Arc Graphics driver 32.0.101.8992 (Beta) is available now from Intel's website.
