Last we showed you a lit of games currently incompatible with Alder Lake processors, as DRM utilizes the wrong cores.
The company has provided a fix for games that are afflicted by DRM difficulties when played on Windows 11 and Windows 10 computers that are powered by Alder Lake processors.
The company identified 22 titles that are affected by this issue on Windows 11 devices; devices running Windows 10 would be affected by an additional 29 titles. (One game, Maneater, was mentioned twice, which is unusual.) FIFA 20, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 and 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, Madden 22, and more prominent franchises were represented on both lists.
Because of this solution, the Alder Lake processor's efficiency cores are placed in standby mode, preventing them from creating problems in the impacted games. Here's how you can make advantage of it:
- Power-up system and enter system BIOS setup.
- Enable switch Legacy Game Compatibility Mode to ON (one-time only) in BIOS.
- Save BIOS setup changes and exit.
- Boot to OS.
- Toggle Keyboard Scroll Lock key ON.
- Launch affected game title.
- Toggle Keyboard Scroll Lock key OFF after ending game title
Intel said that "a software fix has been identified by the vendor of the affected DRM software and is being rolled out."
Intel provides a workaround for certain games and CPUs that have Denuvo DRM issues.
