I tried to be nice, and I see many others commenting in detail how the game won't start on Iris Xe. I did as much research as I can to find out what Nightreign could possibly be doing different than Elden Ring that causes the crash. I have found no differences.
I already made a post about how the requirements are exactly the same for base Elden Ring except for the processors, which would not make sense for the crash since, once again, I don't know how many times we would have to repeat ourselves, you can disable the drivers and the game will launch. Notice how I said the issue is the game isn't LAUNCHING. There can't be a rendering issue from Iris Xe's part, because the game doesn't launch to the actual map, or even the title screen. There are several posts already explaining the fault of Iris Xe in depth, example below.

Stop giving us BS reasons for why this isn't working. Every requirement is the same as most games being released today. The only difference I could find between Nightreign rendering and base Elden Ring was the fact that it loads the whole map in at once, as opposed to Elden Ring's chunks. But again, that's not the issue. How can it be a rendering issue if it doesn't even load to the title screen to begin with?
Again, I've said it before, I am not in any position to get any new hardware as of right now and I'm not sure when I'll be able to. I am stuck with this and all I ask is that Intel representatives look into this more, because we keep telling you exactly what's going on. It doesn't make sense that The Last of Us II had this exact issue and it got fixed but somehow Nightreign is just left in the dust for over 2 months. Please stop being incompetent and address this.
