Description

While I could play Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3 (MW3), after season 2 it crashes right after launch with the culprit being in libxess.dll (version 1.2 being used here):

I tried to manually replace version 1.2 with 1.1 but COD them finding out the files are not right.

The issue started with season 1 reloaded where it would give this warning before launching (but it would carry on to the game OK):

Well and I did go the website - my graphics are (MacBook Pro using BootCamp)

With this processor: Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8559U CPU @ 2.70GHz, 2601 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical Processor(s)

But Intel website tells me I have the most up-to-date driver which is only 2127:

And whenever I try to install 4955 or 5252 (downloading the drivers myself and running them), it gives me this error:

So after spending £70, and while I _could_ play season 1, I can no longer play season 2 since Intel drivers refuse to upgrade to the latest version. Having played 1 season, I am in a situation where I can no longer play.

So can you please either explain or direct me to where I can ask for newer versions to be extended to Iris graphics?
