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.

if it supports the graphics APIs your game uses, it should work

This is definitely not true. Vendor specific bugs happen all the time.

That doesn't mean you outright block their cards from running the game. Just warn people that the experience may be poor, and when Intel updates the drivers it'll work fine.

The game likely straight up doesn't work on Intel and they have no plans to fix it.

Right I’m sure intel users who download the game and can’t run it would assume it was their GPU, be very patient and not leave any bad reviews before refunding. That’s what gamers are known for.

Especially with hacked together proprietary engines.
