Intel Arc B570 — XeSS upscaler causes black world render (UI visible)
|
System specs
• GPU: Intel Arc B570 (10 GB) • CPU: Ryzen 9 3900X • RAM: 32 GB • OS: Windows 11 • Driver version: 31.0.101.6091 Description I am running into an issue where selecting the XeSS upscaling option causes the entire 3D world in Path of Exile 2 to render completely black, while all UI elements still appear normally. This only started happening after the recent graphics update. Before that patch, XeSS worked normally on this same hardware. Steps to reproduce 1. Launch Path of Exile 2 on an Intel Arc GPU (B570) 2. Set the upscaler to “XeSS” 3. Enter any town, zone, or instance 4. The world render is completely black while the UI is visible Expected behavior The game world should render normally, with only the UI overlaid on top. Actual behavior The 3D world is completely black, but the UI renders correctly. GPU usage appears normal, but the image has no visible luminance. Switching to Bilinear, NiS, or FSR immediately restores normal visuals. Other players on NVIDIA and AMD do not appear to have this issue. The behavior suggests that the upscaler may be receiving invalid or zero exposure or brightness data on Arc hardware, causing the scene to render without visible output while UI (rendered separately) is still shown.

Sadly xess has been broken since the first October patch. It's wild that intel owners can't use intel's upscaler but everyone else can lol.

It seems it might have been longer, I just found a post from February of this year that mentions the same issue.
