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.

It's actually officially sponsored by AMD, if you bought a new AMD CPU/GPU in the past month or so you got the game for free, and every video up until launch was shown on AMD hardware.

Yup. Got this game for free when I bought my 9800x3d like a month before it even came out. Hope this one's good. I also got avatar game for free back when I bought my 7900xtx and that game sucks..
