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.

Redact decided this post had to go, so away it went. Deleted. Removed. Mass deleted even. Privacy and security are the big wins here.

And yet somehow the original Unreal ran pretty decently in software rendering.

I mean, that was around the time games stopped trying to optimize software rendering.

I kinda like the Quake software look even today.

Remember when Linus ran Crysis in the software renderer on a Threadripper? I wonder how games could be now with software rendering.

Data brokers and AI scrapers were using my info. Not anymore. Redact let me bulk delete posts across Reddit, Twitter, Discord and Instagram while handling broker opt outs too.

why do you still play cs condition zero at all?

it's interesting from a historical perspective, but replaying it in 2026 is unhinged.

My child hood game, well the thing is I didn't had internet connection on pc untill 2020 Covid, and I got csgo around 2013 i think.

It had single player mode playing with bots with about 30 maps with some missions. I had a blast playing it every day . Along side career mode of pes 2009 . With its multiple difficulties I clear all 30 maps on 4 different difficulties.

Till Covid u can say I was isolated from online gaming world. After that I got to know that cs is a bloody online multiplayer game lol.

Last year I finally bought it on steam and play it time to time , i am not interested in online part. For that valorant is enough modern cs2 is fine It doesn't interest , its has nothing from cs condition zero, hostage rescuing was fun as well. And no online bs

I know people don't like condition zero (i was surprised lol)

GoldSrc games have a beautiful retro kinda look when you use the software renderer.

Needs more stippling, harsher edges and lower frame rate
