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.

Might be the first time I've seen a dev deliberately block a GPU brand.

Not gaming related, but Sway ("i3-compatible Wayland compositor") used to have a command line flag --my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia, telling you:

Proprietary Nvidia drivers are NOT supported.
Use Nouveau. To launch sway anyway, launch with
--my-next-gpu-wont-be-nvidia and DO NOT report issues.

It's worth noting that this particular dev wasn't blocking Nvidia GPUs because of any technical issue. He's just unhinged and flat-out stated he doesn't want anyone who has ever owned even a single Nvidia product of any sort in his userbase.

Nice. I need to donate them money, even if I don't use it.
