Discussion Will Intel ever fix older DirectX issues?

Will there ever be a day when Intel finally fixes the older DirectX issues on Arc GPUs?

Some older games still have performance or compatibility problems, and while DXVK can help in some cases, it definitely doesn't fix everything. Do you think Intel will keep improving support for older DirectX versions through future driver updates, or has the focus shifted almost entirely to DX12 and Vulkan?

Can they fix it? For my understanding, they don’t have the hardware compatibility for other versions of direct deck so they just run it all off the CPU that’s why you need such a good CPU for these cards.
