Remnant 2 adds garbage 0 byte files to C: drive (Intel iGfx but I don't have any Intel hw)

AMD CPU, Nvidia Card is my PC.
Game adds an Intel folder to root:
C:\Intel\iGfx\XeFX
Sub directories 4 of them Remnant2-Win64-Shipping.exe_XXXXX
Contain 0 byte file: Features.csv

Why does it matter? Don't like junk data/folder cluttering C: is all, thanks.

Diablo IV does the same thing. Idk what's going on and the files in the folders are all Excel files like what the fk?

Other games do it too? Interesting. It might be Intel's fault instead I guess in hindsight. I'll report it to their driver team as well. Or their upscaling tech team if they're separate.

If it really bothers you, delete the XeFX folder and recreate it yourself.

Then in Properties -> Security -> Advanced select Disable inheritance and remove all permission entries.
Close the properties windows and open the folder once to create an explicit entry for you as owner.
Then open Properties -> Security -> Edit and set Deny on Write permission and unselect any other permissions except Read, which should be Allow.

Run Remnant 2 and exit, then check if any folders are created.

This is only basic way to restrict permission to a folder. I have no idea if these files are ever useful in the game and if not having them would have consequences so do this at your own risk.

Edit: I probably wouldn't do this to any of XeFX's parent folders just in case they are used by other Intel features.
