Bug with Intel Precompiled Shaders

[fervent heart]

Saw release of new Intel Graphics feature "Precompiled Shaders" on Intel.com

https://game.intel.com/us/stories/intel-precompiled-shaders-faster-loading-smoother-gaming/

However, when looking at the app, i noticed it says "Precompiled Shaders (BETA)". However, the Intel.com website has no mentioned stating this software is marked "Beta" nor gives any disclosure to the user that this feature may contain bugs and/or cause regressions with IGS + Graphics driver.

Beta software means that the feature is not "Production" quality and it will contain bugs, which is misleading marketing on Intel.com. This is a bug & misleading marketing to the user.

Their are either two options Intel can remedy the issue: Option A.) Remove "Precompiled Shaders" option from IGS + Gfx driver until it is "Production Ready" or Option B.) Update the website (link above) to put a Disclaimer that this software is "Not Production Ready" and users may experience bugs with the software which they can contact Intel Customer Support.

This looks to be a rushed feature, Intel needs to fix this issue.

Bugs already been seen: incorrect window size for CyberPunk 2077 (ignoring user settings in game profile), Game crashes with Fortnite & Sea of Thieves, and latest DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL with Driver 32.0.101.8626 which contains this new feature (BSOD or Bugcheck).

Here is a reference for the Bugcheck error code: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/bug-check-0xd1--driver-irql-not-less-or-equal

Interesting how this driver is a WHQL signed driver and yet Intel managed to introduce a lot of Bugs + Regressions with this release.

Previous comment still stands: Intel must pull this driver down from intel.com and address these issues.

[fervent heart]

Issue's keep piling: Users reporting constant BSOD's with gfx driver 8626 and bugs introduced in IGS app.
