The list of games that have a problem with Alder Lake under Windows 11 A specific cell at Intel is working with developers on a fix for the remaining games. The company says it will release a patch with the Windows 11 update in mid-November to address these issues. It should be noted that the situation gets worse if you run Windows 10 instead of Windows 11. Blue have published a list of games impacted by the Alder Lake/DRM issue.
This can prevent games from launching, cause crashes during play or close them unexpectedly. At Intel, they explain that the problem stems from DRM software that incorrectly recognizes Alder Lake’s efficient cores (E-cores) as another system. For example, Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and others, will not start due to digital rights management (DRM) software problems. Indeed, as soon as you get your new CPU, you might have a bad surprise when trying to launch one of your games. Fortunately patches are coming, and there is a workaround that consists in disabling the Alder Lake efficiency cores to enjoy these games…This last resort solution must be temporary because it would be a shame to have to limit a CPU whose main argument is performance…We take stock.Īlder Lake doesn’t like some games (or vice versa) However, some games don’t work with these new processors. It is obvious that the new Intel chip has impressed us.
