SOLVED "Graphics Driver is outdated" (its up to date)

[ashley_jackson_208]

Hi, for the last few(?) months i haven't been able to play satisfactory, ever time i start the game the same text appears shortly after the satisfactory logo appears, the text says "The installed version of the Intel graphics driver has known issues. Please install the latest driver version Would you like to visit the following URL to download the driver?" My driver is up to date but the text persists, if i click "no" the game will auto close and a unreal engine crash screen will pop up, before anyone says anything i have checked the integrity of my files, never modified never installed any plugins nothing. I would appreciate anyone's potential help in the situation, i think it might be on my side which is odd considering that one day, no updates or anything the game stopped working and the message appeared. Please attempt to help if possible, i do not want to have wasted 180 hours and 30$

Specs:
Cpu: Intel Core i3-8145U @ 2.10GHz
Gpu: Intel UHD Graphic 620
Ram: 8 GB
(now that i see the specs i'm shocked the game ever booted tbh)


THE GAME HAS OPENED! it turns out that the graphics driver had installed a OLDER VERSION OF ITSELF which prevented me from playing, i am pissed off by that. either way, i can indeed play the game with an average of 40 fps. thanks for the attempted help, i appreciate it.

Specs would help. There has to be a reason it says drivers are not up to date. You on a laptop or desktop? You were able to play previously, when did this issue start? As there have been no updates for a while. As you have stated. So got me curious now.

If you only have an integrated GPU then you are way below minimum specs for the game.

I am on laptop, the issue started around September 2023 if i remember correctly the laptop isn't exactly good to say, but the issue had arisen on a random day with no warning, the game had never ran smooth but i was fine with it, the first time the warning appeared i clicked the link and updated the driver, it worked the time after that but never again. I could search the exact specs if it would help.

I'll find the specs now and comment put them in the actual discussion

Ya. Unfortunately I don't think it is going to run the current version or the 1.0 definitely not. May have to look at upgrading sorry to say. Integrate GPU's are really never good.

You are way below minimum specs for the game. In fact you never were at minimum specs for the game.
Only solution is a substantial hardware upgrade.

Ok, thanks for telling me

The 2200G was actually pretty fine for low end gaming and that presumbly counts for any other APU too. I played Satisfactory with it for quite a while and had no problems other than the expected performance bottleneck.

As for the driver issue itself, i noticed that on my server machine, Windows kept reinstalling some obsolete driver package for that Intel GPU, overriding my manual driver install.

But yes, low end ultra-portable laptops designed for maximum battery life are not really something you should be gaming on when comes to open world unreal engine game.
