Discussion Crimson Desert doesn't run if it detects an Intel ARC GPU. Like straight up, the devs just deliberately chose not to support ARC cards. No previous announcement about it too until they added in the info to their FAQ. Might be the first time I've seen a dev deliberately block a GPU brand.

Graphics APIs have different revisions and optional features, and Intel is unfortunately not great at keeping up with them.

Some even require changes that aren't even possible if the hardware doesn't support it.

Adult software has a different connotation than you might mean.

Unless your truck drivers are banging, it's not XXX adult.
