UPDATE: Intel released new drivers for Haswell-based Intel HD hardware this week (version number 15.36.3.64.3907), and the new drivers have been confirmed to fix the graphics glitches issue this thread is about. This has been confirmed by me and other users.
While I'm very happy and relieved that this was solved the "right way"
, it leaves users of older Intel HD hardware (i.e. Intel HD 3000/4000) without a fix. This was discussed on GitHub in the Pull Request that introduced the workaround. Neobrain was against the merge from the beginning, and now that this really was fixed by Intel, Delroth pointed out that if Intel itself is dropping support for its hardware it's not Dolphins job to do so, either.
So the Pull Request n:o 509 was closed today. I agree with the decision, of course (easy for me since I have HD 4600). If someone still wants to apply the fix to their own builds they can always do it by their selves, and it's a rather easy copy-paste-thing to do, the biggest job is to install Microsoft Visual Studio.
I intend keep the build in the last post available on Dropbox, but if you receive a "file not found" error (months from now) then I've obviously removed the build, for one reason or another.
