Hello Intel,

I have an Intel i5 3210M CPU with an Intel HD 4000 graphics core. Since driver version 15.33.22.64.3621 (published ~May 2014) the game crashes shortly after starting CoDSP.exe (Singel Player) or CoDMP.exe (Multiplayer). So the game tries to start up and immediately crashes (black screen, Windows error sound, "hidden" error message):

"Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Program: .......(path)\Call of Duty\CoDSP.exe

A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted the program's internal state. The program cannot safely continue execution and must now be terminated."

Google told me that I'm not the only one with the same problem:

Call of Duty 1 Buffer Overrun Detected - Steam Users' Forums

Re: Latest version of intel iris pro drivers causes buffer overrun with Call of Duty 1?

Buffer Overrun Error :: Call of Duty General Discussions

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library: Buffer Overrun - Microsoft Community

AMD & Nvidia had also this issue some time ago but they fixed it obviously in their drivers (e.g. Nvidia in v195.39, see changelog).

I tested a lot things which might help you to solve this problem:

1) All drivers since 15.33.22.64.3621 (inclusiv) cause this issue (also the latest 15.33.35.64.4176 ! )

2) With driver version 15.33.14.64.3412 (and older) the game works flawlessly and therefore doesn't crash.

---> There must have been a change between these two version which causes  these crashes since this point in time.

3) There is a workaround for the problematic driver versions (see SteamCommunity): copying and changing the name of one of the two "game-lauchers" (CoDSP.exe/CoDMP.exe) into "mohaa.exe" solves the problem when a problematic driver version (15.33.22.64.3621 and above) is installed!!! This is quite crazy. Mohaa should stand for the computer game "Medal of Honor: Allied Assault". However when using a random name like abc.exe the game crashes again while starting...

---> It looks like renaming the .exe's to mohaa.exe forces the driver to use an internal driver profile (created by Intel for MoHAA), which is obviously also compatible with Call of Duty (1). Therefore this workaround makes it possible to use the latest Intel graphics driver(s) with Call of Duty 1. I know, this sounds quite crazy...but it is like that ;-)

Can you please  have a look at this driver issue and change it in the next release? It looks like resolving this issue shouldn't be that complicated for Intel engineers.

PS: I use Windows 7 x64 Professional and the retail version of CoD1 without Steam... but Steam users are probably also bothered (see my links above).

Thank you very much!

I have been having issues with the Intel HD Graphics driver not detecting the eDP Display properly on the Acer C720 with Windows 8.1/10.

With the Microsoft Basic Display Driver (no Intel HD Graphics Driver installed) the system works perfectly with both eDP and HDMI outputs working. However, when the Intel HD Graphics driver (any version) is installed the eDP stops working. When both eDP and HDMI out are connected, there's lines on both screens. With eDP disconnected and HDMI out connected, the HDMI display works perfectly, indicating it is not a problem with the BIOS but is rather an eDP display detection issue with the Intel HD Graphics Driver.

One thing that I noticed was interesting was that when the Windows 8.1 driver (version 10.18.10.4226) is installed, and Intel HD Graphics is disabled and enabled again from device manager, the eDP turns on and both eDP and HDMI out work perfectly with graphics acceleration until the device is rebooted. this means that it's a detection issue with Intel HD Graphics on the first boot.

In Linux, i915 is able to run both displays properly, it is Windows that has the issue except with the combination of the Windows 8.1 driver and the disable/re-enable workaround. I wish I could've fixed the driver myself but it's closed source so unfortunately that's not an option :/ (I have experience with writing Windows drivers and have done so to get the other parts of this system working)

I have looked through all the intel documentation and fixed up the coreboot bios and checked the options set in the video bios (version 2170 HSW) and it seems fine and the display does work properly until the Intel HD Graphics driver is loaded.

I have attached the relevant diagnostic information from the Intel HD Graphics although the Intel HD Graphics report is in the "working state" with the older driver + workaround as the control panel crashes when the driver can't detect a monitor connected.

Referring to this issue: c# - Why WPF gui not showing on Windows 10? - Stack Overflow

The root cause is the GPU driver is not up to date enough to cater a display bug on WPF applications in Windows 10.

For some Intel HD Graphics GPU like HD 4400, the latest driver version 10.18.15.4278 have solved this issue.

However, for Intel Atom X7, the latest driver version for the Intel HD Graphic is still 10.18.15.4248, which the problem still persist.

This create a lot of problem for Atom X7 users, especially those have purchased Microsoft Surface 3 (not Surface pro 3) which is running on the X7 CPU, apparently, nearly all WPF application could not be run normally!!!

so my questions is:

1. is there any way i can download and forcefully install 10.18.15.4278 for those running Atom X7 CPU? I have tried various ways but still, i cannot do it successfully.

2. if not, what is the schedule of releasing a new release so that this bug could be fully catered?

Thank you.

I've seen places where it says that it can but when I look at all the available modes it doesn't feature this resolution. My Monitor can, the cable can, I need to know if the 5500 can.

I have the latest drivers 10/10/15

Hello,

starting a new post for the same issues I posted a year ago...

I am now convinced that the optimus technology and association with an intel igpu is deeply flawed. Here's why:

I am trying to connect my laptop to a tv through a hdmi cable.

Expected behavior: start computer / plug cable / switch on tv / play games & listen to music on your tv.

That's not what happens at all with my Lenovo Y50 (4600+860m).

When I plug a hdmi cable, the laptop display is cloned on the tv but any video stutters at roughly 20fps and there is no sound (my own videos, youtube etc).

After trying a gazillion intel drivers (including hdmi test), the results have always been the same.

After searching the depths of old posts on the net, someone suggested closing the lid of my laptop or using windows' "second screen only" option.

Lo and behold. BOOTING or REBOOTING the laptop with everything plugged-in makes it work: videos work smoothly and WITH SOUND on the TV (intel hdmi audio for displays). If I just switch to "second screen only" option without rebooting first, videos don't even load! The drawback is that my laptop screen is condemned to remain black. Cloning display produces above, broken results.

Next part of the nightmare...GAMES. You know why I bought a laptop with a 860m chip? to PLAY GAMES. Thank you Lenovo for not allowing me to switch off the intel 4600 igpu. Thank you Lenovo and NVIDIA for "wiring" the NVidia chip to the intel igpu and messing up hdmi connections.

What happens when I play a game, still using the "second screen only" option (black screen on laptop):

The games DO use the NVIDIA chip, thank GOD. But no sound is played through intel's hdmi for displays playback device (DUH!). There is of course NO NVidia hdmi playback device (although there is a NVidia audio driver in 'device drivers'. The only way to have sound is to use my realtek chip as the default device, which implies that no sounds comes out of the better-sounding tv.

yes, it is a nightmarish design.

Optimal pain-free dreamlike setup WOULD HAVE BEEN to: let us use the NVidia chip whenever we want, allow us to clone display when we want, and play sound through NVidia hdmi audio as it is meant to be (see traditional pc setup).

Ranting is over.

Can anyone at intel confirm that my laptop will never work simply with hdmi?

Thanks in advance.

New to the community so i am hoping someone can help...

DELL VOSTRO 1015 Laptop - Previously running Windows 7 with no issues, until I upgraded to Windows 10...

As an ametuer 3D Artist, I have been messing with DAZ3d for a while, which was all good on my old Operating System...

Since the upgrade to Windows 10 - The program will not run... I get a message saying that I need OpenGL 1.3 or higher and the my computer only has 1.1

According to the DELL website - All my drivers are up to date so now I am stuck! What can I do? I know the Graphics chip in the Vostro is capable of taking OpenGL 1.6 at most, but there appears to be no drivers from Dell for Windows 10.

As I have already had Windows 10 running for a week, I cannot even downgrade as it has already deleted the old windows files.

Can anyone Help?

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can find a BSDL file for an Intel oplus MN301-10 video processor.

I know this is an old/obsolete component from 2005 but we still use it in our designs.

Thanks,
Kris

Hello.

I've recently found out a big performance drop when using NV12 video output with EVR/EVR-CP renderers and Intel's GPUs.

I have done some performance tests using DXVA Checker v3.9.0 on a Win 10 x64 system using Core i7-4790 and Intel's iGPU HD4600 with latest drivers v.4279.

As video decoder, I used LAV filters 0.66.31, which is the default video decoder for many Video Players, like MPC-HC.

The test clip is here, a small video sample from YouTube:

https://www.sendspace.com/file/o0oe5t

It's a 4K60fps VP9 clip.

Results:

Decode - Renderless mode (No renderer)

Video output  min fps/ average fps/ max fps

NV12/YV12 83 fps/112 fps/175 fps CPU usage 72%

Both NV12 and YV12 have the same performance.

Playback - Vanilla EVR (scale to 1280 x 720)

Video output  min fps/ average fps/ max fps

YV12 79 fps/100 fps/139 fps CPU usage 73%

NV12 65 fps/74 fps/86 fps CPU usage 52%

The numbers represent min fps/average fps/max fps of the whole decoding process.

It is clear that using a renderless mode, in pure decoding, NV12 and YV12 have exactly the same performance.

BUT during real playback, using EVR renderer, the performance drop of NV12 is more than clear compared to YV12 along with the CPU usage.

There is a bottleneck somewhere in the driver that prevents GPU and CPU to reach maximum speed.

And because NV12 is the default, quality video output format for many video decoders like LAV filters and the preferred output even for HW acceleration of Microsoft's DXVA, I think is urgent to do something about it and increase the performance of that video output.

Waiting for your feedback.

Hello. After upgrading to Win7 to Win10 appeared unresponsive for 1-2 seconds when you install the software in the settings, for example, right-click on the desktop -> Display Settings -> hovering mouse for 2 seconds. In Win7 such freezes were not. I also tried a "clean" installation of windows 10, but lags were. It looks like the lag associated with the work of the other card. Here's the video: Yandex.Disk . Support Nvidia said that the problem is in Intel graphics card.

I have just come into the possession of a Dell Insperon 14 as a temporary laptop till I get the money together for a better one.   

I've had to reinstall Windows 7 (the guy I bought it off installed win 8.1 and I just don't get on with it) and have gone through all the usual driver updates and everything is at it's most recent but OpenGL hasn't installed in any form. The laptop has a Mobile intel 4 series chipset family.

Can anyone help? really wanting to get back into playing some games and the rest of the internet just says update top the latest drivers and that just hasn't worked

Hello,

having this bug in the game gothic 3.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HECD7MaT81Y

Everything else in the game works flawless.

I have installed the latest driver and the latest patch to the game.

It seems, that this bug only occurs with intel hd 4400 graphic devices (Forum thread on worldofgothic.de).

This update addresses several previously found issues and includes new features. Please see the Release Notes and excerpt below for details. As always, feedback is appreciated.

The 15.36.23.4251 has been posted to Intel Download Center at the following direct links to the drivers:

32bit -  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25146

64 bit - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/25143

This driver supports the following:

• 5^th Generation Intel® Core Processors with Intel HD graphics, Intel Iris™ graphics, Intel Iris™ Pro graphics and select Pentium®/ Celeron® Processors with Intel® HD graphics for Microsoft Windows* 8.1, Microsoft Windows* 8 and Microsoft Windows* 7 operating systems.
• Intel® Core™ M with Intel HD graphics 5300 for Microsoft Windows* 8.1, Microsoft Windows* 8 and Microsoft Windows* 7 operating systems.
• 4^th Generation Intel® Core™ Processors with Intel HD graphics, Intel Iris™ graphics and Intel Iris Pro graphics and select Pentium®/ Celeron® Processors with Intel® HD graphics for Microsoft Windows* 8.1, Microsoft Windows* 8 and Microsoft Windows* 7 operating systems.

New Features in this release:
New driver support for the newly launched H-series, R-series, and S-series 5^th Generation Intel Core processors.

Display Scaling Option is Now “Sticky” User Preference

Scaling support in control panel has been changed to improve user experience. Previously, the set of scaling options available to the user was tied to the currently selected resolution and any change to the resolution caused the user selected scaling option to be lost. In the new implementation, the user selected scaling option is orthogonal to the current resolution and expresses the user’s preference/intent for scaling behavior, regardless of the current resolution.  The driver will remember this scaling preference and apply it for future display mode sets performed either in the graphics control panel OR via OS control panel.

Forced Application Scaling                                                                                                                                  

The control panel also offers a new “forced application scaling” option where the user selected scaling option above for desktop will also be applied for full screen applications (generally games or media players), overriding whatever scaling mode the application and/or DirectX runtime/Operating System specify.  This is intended to allow users to force “Stretch Full Screen” or “Maintain Aspect Ratio” scaling to address problems reported by users with games running in “Centered” scaling mode - particularly DirectX10 and 11 games and/or on Windows 8/8.1.  Centered mode gives a bad user experience when running games as significantly lower than native resolution (e.g. to improve frame rate) on displays with very high resolutions.

Intel has identified several root causes for this behavior: 

1. Some games request “Unspecified” scaling to the DirectX runtime upon full screen mode set. On Windows 8 and 8.1, for touch enabled systems, Windows converts this to “centered” scaling in the mode set call into the display driver.  Microsoft has acknowledged this issue (CSS case 115021712411905/MSBU bug 5500783); the forced scaling option provided in this driver is a workaround for this Win8/8.1 operating system issue.
2. Several games explicitly request “Centered” scaling.  Intel has reached out to the game developers to educate them to request “Stretched” scaling instead and several games (such as Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare) have been patched to correct this behavior, but other applications may still have this issue.

In both cases, the new forced application scaling option provides a solution to allow the user to specify their preferred scaling mode. 

This option is not enabled by default because it technically means that the graphics driver is not honoring operating system requests for mode sets and would cause WHCK test failures during driver certification.  However, Intel strongly recommends users set this option when playing games at non-native resolutions, especially on Windows 8/8.1, especially for DirectX10/11 games.

Dedicated Memory Reporting

The graphics driver now reports some amount of fictitious “dedicated” graphics memory to the operating system (128MB by default) to work around applications issues in a number of games.  These games incorrectly look for some amount of “dedicated” graphics memory because they weren’t coded with the unified memory architecture for processor graphics. 

The amount reported can be modified or disabled if desired by changing the following registry value:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Intel\GMM, create a REG_DWORD value named “DedicatedSegmentSize”.  The value is interpreted as number of MB to report (0-512MB).  A value of 0 disables reporting the dummy memory segment.  If the registry key/value is not found, the driver will report the default 128MB.

Please see the Release Notes for issues resolved with this release.

Thanks
