Despite a relatively small market share, Intel solutions, including both discrete and integrated graphics cores, are used by a significant number of players.
According to numerous player reports, Pearl Abyss simply does not support Intel Arc graphics accelerators: the game is not only not optimized, but does not even launch on these devices. Owners of such video cards confirm that they have encountered complete incompatibility.
On the game's FAQ page, the developers directly stated that Crimson Desert does not work on Intel Arc. Moreover, Pearl Abyss has not announced any plans to add support for these graphics processors in the future. Users who purchased the game expecting compatibility with Intel solutions are advised to request a refund.
The situation is causing bewilderment in the community, as the project is effectively limited to video cards from AMD and NVIDIA.
