Intel Arc Graphics on Linux can deal with operating the Diablo IV sport through Valve’s Steam Play however solely when it hides the truth that it is Intel graphics in use through a game-specific driver workaround.
Diablo IV is the most recent sport title that crashes when noting the driving force vendor and since it is Intel graphics making the (incorrect) assumption that Xe Tremendous Sampling (XeSS) is on the market. When Diablo IV discovers the Intel Arc Graphics, it tries to have interaction XeSS which is not at present out there for Linux. In flip that crashes the sport. So as a substitute the Intel ANV Vulkan driver is not promoting itself when launching Diablo IV, thereby working across the sport crashing however as a substitute getting a warning field that it is operating on unsupported driver/{hardware}.
The scenario is just like what we have seen earlier than with Hogwarts Legacy crashing because of lack of XeSS and Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux avoiding the Intel identification too.
The workaround for Diablo IV was merged to Mesa Git this week for now having the ability to efficiently launch Diablo IV with Intel Arc Graphics on Linux. Now to hope sooner or later XeSS turns into absolutely open-source and effectively supported on Linux.
