Those running Intel Arc Graphics on Linux can now enjoy the Hogwarts Legacy game under Valve’s Steam Play.
Earlier this year Intel’s Mesa developers added the ability to conceal the Vulkan vendor to workaround game-specific issues.
When the game was running under Linux via Steam Play and seeing Intel graphics were being utilized, XeSS was being triggered.
With the Hogwarts Legacy game it’s a similar story of XeSS being triggered and causing problems under Linux…
So the simple workaround is again to conceal the Vulkan vendor so the game engine doesn’t know Intel graphics are being utilized.
This patch adds the Hogwarts Legacy (HogwartsLegacy.exe) detection to DriConf and then sets the force_vk_vendor=-1 behavior to allow this popular game to work on Intel graphics under Linux.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
