Possible bug with Oli 1st job

[jwrichards1982]

Before I make this a bug report, I have been searching for a couple hours, but no closer to an explanation why I do not meet the requirements of the first job given by Oli.

The ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX560 4G meets the requirements listed as minimum for a League of Legends build being an AMD Radeon RX560 with 4GB of vRAM, yet still says it is not meeting the requirements.

Has anyone else had this problem?
I haven't submitted the build yet, or sit it up with another RX560 from the shop.

The problem with this is the video card you chose did *NOT* meet the requirements and I'll explain why: You must look at the part ranking app and then find the video card "AMD Radeon RX560". You then must select any other Radeon RX 560 that is the same or faster performance than that exact one. You can not pick just any random RX 560 with 4GB VRAM. There are some AIB / Aftermarket video cards that are slower than the base model "AMD Radeon RX560" both in real life and in game. That is a thing.

Maybe explain it to me like I am a complete and utter moron.

I opened the part ranking app, type in the top search box "AMD Radeon RX560" and I get no results.

I then search for Radeon RX560 and get
It shows me the card I bought, which according to this game is NOT the proper card???!

I should scroll up and pick the next card up?
Which would be the 1050 Ti GAMING from EVGA...
Or the ASUS Radeon RX 560

After buying the 1050 Ti from EVGA and ASUS RX 560 4G variant, the ASUS card worked. The 1050 Ti still didn't meet the requirements. Where is the "real" requirements listed? I haven't found anything in the game. By your explanation, I should skip TWO cards above the first one searched? This is really confusing, and I have been building computers since 1992. This isn't a bragging point, but with the information provided to me by this game, the ASRock variant RX560 SHOULD meet the listed requirements in "Will It Run?" Otherwise, the application is useless.
I have played the game for quite a while, came back to it after a year and some months, and wanting to give it serious attention, develop a strategy and such and understand the underlying mechanics. I have successfully completed some 3DMark score jobs, 4 - 5 stars each and am quite confident in my understanding, but always looking to learn more.

What am I missing?

EDIT : I just ran a test, Fable Fortune, minimum spec, all cheapest parts. There are no "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050" cards. However, there are several "GeForce GTX 1050" cards, and the cheapest and lowest ranking card passes. Your explanation is even more confusing.

All I know is someone on reddit posted this exact same problem. They reported that they bought "A faster RX 560" than what they originally had and it worked and they went on with the game. So that's what I was trying to tell you to do.

[jwrichards1982]

I see. That makes more sense. I have played a few more missions to meet minimum spec for various games, and I don't remembering having any problems. This one just stood out, as it is the first one I experienced in my playthrough. I'll go ahead and post in the bug threads.

Thank you for your time, anyway!

The problem there is this might not actually be a bug. The developers might of coded this in to the game intentionally. They might want us to try and find other faster RX 560's to complete this job to get us to think differently about video card upgrades.

[jwrichards1982]

I would go with that, if it were an upgrade. But this is a 'new computer', Building computers for people in the past, they would tell me what they wanted to do with it and I would come up with a build that fit their budget. They would be happy with it. It would be about a year or two before they come to me asking for advice on what to get to play newer games or increase performance as software advanced and such.

I am thinking, after seeing the card naming trends with other jobs, there may be a logic issue with "RX560" and "RX 560". I went ahead and gave all the info I could. Worse that can happen, they refute. Like "...it never hurts to ask...". If nothing comes of it, I will just have to make a mental note or something about that particular card.

There are three RX 560's in the game. Did you try each of them to see which one worked by chance?

[jwrichards1982]

Yeah.
"ASRock Phantom Gaming Radeon RX560 4G" - would not be accepted
"ASUS Radeon RX 560" - was accepted
"ASUS ROG Strix Radeon RX 560 OC Edition" - was accepted
Almost the same card except for price, all have 4GB VRAM, first two are comparable in core and memory frequency, while the OC Edition has a bit higher clocks.
All three of these cards should pass the "Will it run?" requirements.
Once again, I am drawn to the possibility of a naming/reference issue in the logic.

That does sound like a bug then. Maybe the developers will update the game to change that. I wanted to at least thank you for sharing this information with us. I now know which video cards to suggest to others if they encounter the same job.
