It doesn\u2019t sound like Crimson Desert, the recently released prequel to Black Desert Online, will support Intel Arc GPUs anytime soon, if at all. On the game\u2019s FAQ page<\/a>, its developer Pearl Abyss advised players expecting Arc support to apply for a refund. \u201cIf you purchased the game expecting Intel Arc<\/a> support, please refer to the refund policy of the platform where the game was purchased for available options,\u201d the company wrote. Apparently, though, it\u2019s not from lack of guidance from Intel. The chipmaker told Wccftech<\/a> that it reached out to Pearl Abyss \u201cmany times\u201d over the past several years.<\/p>\n

The Intel spokesperson said that the company has tried to help the developer \u201ctest, validate, and optimize support for Intel graphics\u201d for years. Intel also tried to provide the developer \u201cearly hardware, drivers, and engineering resources\u201d across several generations of GPUs, \u201cincluding Alchemist, Battlemage, Meteor Lake, and Lunar Lake.\u201d The chipmaker said it\u2019s \u201chugely disappointed that players using Intel graphics hardware\u201d can\u2019t play the game, but that it remains \u201cready to assist Pearl Abyss\u201d however it can. It also advised players to reach out directly to the developer for \u201cdetails on the choice not to enable Intel support at launch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pearl Abyss, of course, doesn\u2019t have the obligation to tweak the game so that it runs on PCs with Intel Arc GPUs. The good news is that since the title came out just a few days ago, it will still be easy to get a refund. Steam, where Crimson Desert is now one of the top-selling games, issues refunds within two weeks of purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It doesn\u2019t sound like Crimson Desert, the recently released prequel to Black Desert Online, will support Intel Arc…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":538366,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[241212,194922,241214,241213,74],"class_list":{"0":"post-538365","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-black-desert-online","9":"tag-crimson-desert","10":"tag-intel-arc","11":"tag-intel-support","12":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538365","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=538365"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/538365\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/538366"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=538365"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=538365"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=538365"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
