Could the game developers simply add this toggle for XeSS?
LinUX iS nOt A sUpPoRrtEd PlaTfOrm
I am playing Baldur's Gate 3 (can't say enough great things about this game) and they had a toggle in the game setting for upscaling options. And DLSS runs great with my Linux PC. I thought I heard Larian say they are trying to get XeSS too.
I imagine Larian care. Especially since they're pushing Steamdeck support.
The reason this is a "supported platform" issue is that the developers of Hogwarts legacy know their supported platforms support XeSS, so any work that is not "just turn it on" is additional work for no gain.
Could Intel fix the issue with XeSS on Linux?
Is the problem with Intel, Linux, or the game itself?
The game runs when XeSS is disabled. The game runs on Linux otherwise. The only factor causing it to fail is XeSS.
If XeSS causes the issue on any games that activate it, then it is most likely an Intel issue.
