Shaders, crashes and controller detection
| Symptom | Official response / workaround |
|---|---|
| Intel Arc recompiles shaders on every launch | Listed as a known issue; repeated compilation was being investigated. |
| Arc A580 / B580 runs poorly | Check Resizable BAR is enabled using the motherboard or PC manufacturer’s instructions. |
| Crashes while using an older OBS version | Update OBS to version 29 or newer. |
| Steam does not recognize a controller | Try connecting the controller before launch; this was a workaround reported in the beta FAQ. |
| LowLevelFatalError on Xbox PC / Steam account-linking trouble | Run Microsoft’s Gaming Services Repair Tool, as directed in the beta FAQ. |
For the repair steps, open Microsoft’s Gaming Services Repair Tool guide, linked from the beta FAQ.[1]
August 2026 beta
The beta listed driver minimums of NVIDIA 610.74, AMD 26.7.1 and Intel 101.8864. Its 150FPS limit and disabled frame generation also belonged to that test build.[1]
Steam friends and Xbox account mismatches
- For cross-platform invitations in the beta, open the main menu’s Social pane.
- Select Link Account and connect your Microsoft account.
- If using the Xbox PC app, check that the Xbox app and Microsoft Store are signed into the same account.[1]
The Xbox PC account mismatch was a known cause of online connection trouble. Steam players could enter the beta without linking, but needed the link to invite across platforms.[1]
