Again the obligatory "I am happy they are continueing this pursuit of a solid gpu and im looking forward to Battlemage" but
It is stuff like this, I mean they are honest which is great but, that gives me pause with buying an Intel gpu.

Like just random problems that really ruin a game experience and that is just 1 game they happen to have had the time to really look into.

This crashes during gameplay basically just renders those games unplayable and its not like DbD are that obscure, so if you play that, Arc is not even an option really.

It’s nice to see that the pixel corruption I had in CP2077 was a driver issue and not a hardware issue

There's a typo it says "Gostrunner 2" don't they mean Ghostrunner 2?

Are you running dead by daylight in dx11 or dx12? ARC runs fine on DX12 and Vulkan just not on DX11 and DX9.
