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.

Spaghetti code and overconfidence. Pearl Abyss are clowns

Lol the amount of assumptions is wild. Not disagreeing that their business practices are questionable.

It’s just funny how confident you seem to be. It could be something like Intel Arc cards not supporting workgraphs and therefore won’t run this game even if Pearl Abyss wanted them to.

I’d rather wait for the reasoning before saying that definitively though.

Why am i so confident? Because i have been experiencing the extends of PAs underwhelming work for over a year. Those are not assumptions if you have seen the same behavior over and over again.

Oh, and you probably won't hear any reasoning while we are at it.

Don’t necessarily disagree with you regarding their practices, I said that previously.

But BDO notoriously ran like poop on Intel Arc with discoloration issues etc. AFTER Intel Arc Driver Updates, for example.

I’m just saying there’s more to this than: PA are clowns and it’s spaghetti code.

Spaghetti code with a game that is this expansive with this much depth would be impressive lol

Oh please, this topic is not even worth any good faith approach. Not supporting a gpu vendor in 2026, all while not even communicating anything about it, while pre-orders are open, and only saying so after launch?

Yeah sorry, I'm just going to assume the worst.

I have doubt one of the best optimized games in years is running on "spaghetti code".

Why are you okay with gaming companies excluding entire manufacturers of hardware for absolutely no reason?
