One other recreation for which Intel solely needed to change the GPU identification to a special one to run on Intel Arc graphics is Diablo IV. Just like Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077, the place the absent implementation of Intel XeSS on Linux results in non-functionality of those video games by way of Steam / Proton, in Diablo IV it is sufficient to swap the GPU identification to a different one, in order that the sport avoids utilizing XeSS.
A code modification that avoids utilizing the Intel ANV driver within the basic method, which might power Diablo IV to activate (non-existent on Linux) XeSS, will solely trigger the annoyance that the sport reviews operating on unsupported {hardware}, however in any other case runs fairly with out issues (whereas the usual Intel driver causes the sport to crash). This minor modification is already within the Git of the Mesa undertaking. Hopefully Intel will ultimately cease simply patching up these points and implement XeSS for Linux.
