Intel driver 32.0.101.8629 starts Crimson Desert on Arc

Intel’s Game On driver 32.0.101.8629 WHQL removed the refusal to start Crimson Desert on Arc. B580 owners confirm the game can be entered. At launch the GPU reported an unsupported device, Pearl Abyss advised a refund, and Intel said in public that it had offered help.

It is not clean. There are face artifacts and environment anomalies. AMD FSR can crash the game. DLSS 4.5 is already in, and Intel XeSS is not yet, which looks odd next to the launch.

Starting is a step. Performance and full support remain for later patches.
