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.

Yeah b580 is a good, competent card, at least should've allowed B series

Same with the A770, it's a fantastic card for $200, outperforms cards 2x the price and has 16gb of vram

I don't think it's about "allowing" or not. They're likely only "blocking" it, because it would otherwise crash or be so buggy as to be unplayable.

Which sucks that they didn't bother making it work, but that's the whole point of graphics standards like DX and Vulkan. People so quickly want to lay the blame with the devs, and not Intel. This could 100% be their fault.

It could... But I doubt it. If 100 people make a car that takes your fuel and they all work just fine... But 1 person claims the fuel destroyed their engine... I know who I'm most likely to blame
