Game does not start because it wants unused drivers to be updated about sodium-fabric HOT 4 CLOSED

When Sodium is initializing, it checks driver version of all available video adapters. It does this before it can be known which adapter is being used, so it informs you if a driver is out of date (as old hardware drivers cause a lot of issues). Something changed in the way driver versions are reported between 1.20.4 and 1.20.5, and as a result Sodium misidentifies valid Intel drivers as being out of date (the reported versions are correct, but Intel reports two different versions depending on how it’s queried).

Once you confirm your drivers are up-to-date, you can modify the "JVM Arguments" in your launcher profile to include the following:
-Dsodium.checks.win32.intelGen7=false

This should disable the check for the intel driver, and allow your game to start.
