## Description
Intel Arc Driver 32.0.101.8724 and above breaks ALVR. When launching SteamVR, the FPS drops to 1 FPS as shown by the pink lines in the image below.
The VR tracks but the image updates approx. once per second.
The latest Intel Arc Driver that I have gotten to work is 32.0.101.8629 (released 4/16/2026).
## General Troubleshooting
- [x] I carefully followed the instructions in the [README](https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/blob/master/README.md) and successfully completed the setup wizard
- [x] I read the [ALVR GitHub Wiki](https://github.com/alvr-org/ALVR/wiki)
