System requirements are super steep compared to original?

[ICN | Ichkaansiho]

Compared to the original Hades, which ran perfectly for me across 200+ hours, this one appears to have far more demanding requirements. Do we know if this is only for the early access, or is it permanent? If so, i'll have to wait for the console release.

I played the first game with Intel HD Graphics 4000 just fine, but the new game seems to be much more demanding, which is sad. Expected, but still sad. Can't even launch it, unfortunately\\

Is that why I'm just getting a black screen on launch?

They're inaccurate. I played tech test on FX-4100, GTX 660, 8 GB RAM on 1920x1080 and had stable 60 FPS with CPU load 15-35% and GPU load 40-60% on highest graphics settings

Alright, I assume you were able to run Hades I without problems, so the graphical settings might be the issue? If i recall correctly, Hades I had very minor graphical settings. Hopefully they let us input something in the options to start the game at lower settings.

Maybe? I did get a black screen, followed by a pop-up for insufficent system requirements.

DirectX 12 feature level 12?

Sorry for the delay. It only says "Fatal Error: Failed to meet minimum requirements.

Post specs.

Requirements must be bloated because it's an early access and there's room for bugs. Nothing to worry about. If you can run Hades, your're more than fine. This even feels smoother and loading screens are non-existent.

You say that and yet it's such a low blow from the devs. I got the game as a gift so I can't even bloody refund it. Yes: can neither play nor get money back. What sheer idiocy.

This game requires DirectX 12 feature level 12 to launch it. My GTX 660 supports feature level 11, so i wasn't able to play it https://imgur.com/9loBgZ0 Later i saw fix that helped me to play the game https://imgur.com/a/0iWIvzT https://imgur.com/a/jZwzoOG Can't add link, tech test and dissussions from it are no longer available, can only show screenshot https://imgur.com/a/f9BYbOb

https://github.com/tuffee88/d3d12ProxyEdrDx11_0/releases
I downloaded 03_release_binaries_release.zip and extracted d3d12.dll file to Steam\steamapps\common\Hades II Technical Test\Ship
Maybe this will help someone else too. I don't own the game, but i suppose the path should be Steam\steamapps\common\Hades II\Ship or other that contains Hades 2 executable

I had to lower my resolution one setting in order to play the game, not sure whether it is my AMD graphics card or the game, the graphics seem to be fine but whenever I put it fullscreen or max resolution, I have issues where the game doesn't work and freezes permanently unless I am alt-tabbed
