The DRM-based issues that caused certain video games to crash or fail to load on a system with an Alder Lake processor have now been fixed by Intel.
In an update on its website, Intel said the fix came to fruition by working with both Microsoft and game publishers. As a result, all the games that were not playable on Intel’s latest processors due to the DRM complications have been fixed via game patches or operating system updates. Intel’s Alder Lake processors were released to outstanding reviews, with the chips becoming some of the best CPUs for gaming on the market. The DRM issues that have now been patched were thus a concerning problem at the time for gamers who were unable to play certain video games on their newly built or upgraded system.
However, gaming digital rights management software was recognizing the efficient-cores as another system. The most popular DRM application, Denuvo, would therefore cause games to crash during the launch process or gameplay. Users were also subjected to their games unexpectedly shutting down.
