Remove the VRAM check
The forced VRAM check on starting the game is pointless, it doesn't need 4GB of VRAM to run. This game can run on a system far below the recommended requirements.

https://i.ibb.co/TMh8RDD/jwe2igpu.png

This setup uses a Ryzen 3200G APU, and only uses the onboard Vega 8 graphics chip. In addition, it's using a total system memory of 8GB, shared between the CPU and GPU, and only has 2GB of which allocated directly to the GPU. If the minimum specs were really required then this system shouldn't be able to run it at all.

There are plenty of systems out there with dedicated GPUs more powerful than this with less than the 'minimum' 4GB VRAM that could run this game just fine. Stop restricting your user base with arbitrary, and frankly unnecessary, requirements checks. Patch it.

Then again, they pointed out that running it on a lower GPU than the minimum requirements the game might not run as intended. oO

Only one another game check your gpu and directx, what i can remmember. And that's AC: Valhalla. And now there second game... Srsly, i read threads there - this more dlc for JW1, then standalone game... Topic-starter right - remove VRAM and DirectX check, that's not nessesary for this type game

Hey pal !
You're obviously right. Most people complaining about that particular issue do suspect this as well.
Did you consider submitting this directly to the Frontier teams / support / whatnot ? The only thing you'll be getting - here on the steam forums - is a lot of flak. I mean, did you read a couple of related posts ? It's only "you poor ass punk : you can't run it." "get more money" "upgrade your rig" and such...

That's why I ended up making this post. So many people saying 'just stop being poor and upgrade' when it's unnecessary. Plenty of systems should be able to run this just fine.

If you have to play in windowed mode at that resolution, I wouldn't really call that playing it.

Thankfully you aren't the one who decide's what's playable. It was only in windowed mode so I could get the GPU specs in the screenshot, 720p Fullscreen plays just fine.

That's what I was thinking, but IMO the minimum playable resolution and framerate is 1080P 60FPS, if you can't do that, you really should think about upgrading cause you are getting a subpar experience.

At least that makes one less person I'm queuing against for a Steam Deck then :P

That's actually why I thought to try this on the 3200G. The Steam Deck is using 16GB RAM on its APU for both System memory and Video memory, so it won't have a fixed amount of VRAM at any given time. I didn't think the devs would be dumb enough to kill compatibility for what looks to be quite an in demand system so might take shifting VRAM into account.

Then again, I either have to admit that it looks like NoShotz likes to put his opinion onto other people, instead of leaving them their way. :/

Handheld gaming is a bit different than playing a game on a full size computer or laptop, basically you should be able to play at whatever your screens native resolution is at 60FPS for me to consider it playable.

Personally I wouldn't be playing this type of game on such a small screen like the one in the steam deck.

How do you go about removing a forced Vram check?

It's called having a discussion, that's what the steam forums are for after all.

It's likely that the game got confused by the shared memory and let him start it up anyways.

Plenty of people still play PS1 games.
This topic wasn't really meant to be a discussion about whether or not people should run a game at toaster settings so much as saying they should at least have a right to try, especially since there are more capable GPUs than the Vega 8 that still get slapped by this arbitrary limit.
