'Minimal specifications requirements' bypass?

[Saire]

My computer will run this game but my hardware isn't on the absurdly small "approved graphics cards" list. Anyone know a bypass for this? I can play Cyberpunk 2077 just fine, and Armored Core 6 all on high graphics. I cannot understand why it's like this, aside from trying to force us to buy specific graphics cards for specific games and have several rigs for each game company or some other silly capitalist hellscape.

WTF are you even talking about the "Approved hardware list" only set the default config, it does nothing else.

Make sure you are running the latest Windows update 22H2 I believe. My 1080ti was playing just fine, then I had an issue with my Windows and had to do a fresh install. After the reinstall I kept getting the "GPU doesn't meet minimum requirements" prompt. I saw I was not on the latest update, got the new update and my game is back up and running smooth as silk again. Hope this helps, otherwise I have no idea.

What GPU do you have?

I am running the game just fine on medium settings+ on a 980ti (1080p), which is below "minimum specs" for the game. As Blooper01 said, make sure you have the latest update to your drivers, and you should be fine.

It won't launch, and is giving an error message because I don't have a graphics card they specify. I can run other much more intensive games just fine so this isn't a matter of not being good enough. It's checking against some kind of list and preventing the game from launching. I'm wondering how to bypass that check to just run the game. It shouldn't just refuse to launch. It's not like I am booting up my old laptop from 2009 here. This computer plays AC6 BG3 and Cyberpunk all on high settings with 80+ fps.

What graphics are you using? You're probably getting stonewalled by the DirectX feature level.

Windows 10 22H2 should do the trick.

Or if you have integrated GPU and an add-on card, make sure the game "sees" the add-on card.

Beware that link describes how to soft-disable internal GPU alltogether.

Just edit the DefaultGlobalGraphicsSettings.json and add your card, or add a config file manually and it will start anyway

The game also seems to give this error when your OS is not able to run the latest version of Directx 12, ie not patched, which is kind of retarded, you could theorically erase the D3D12 filles shipped with the games so it use the OS, but then it will most likelly just crash anyway
