Friend do not Meet system requirements After last update

[long sail]

My friend can’t play the game anymore, when she try to launch the game, the game say that she do not meet the system requirements, like her GPU don't match the system requirements

[leaden silo]

What are the full specs of the PC, and can you get a screen shot of the message please?

[long sail]

asked my friend for all those info, will wait for her to give it to me

[proper flint]

16GB DDR4 3600 MHZ
Ryzen 5600G
RX470 8GB

I'm one of her friends too, she sent me the specs yesterday

I do wonder if the games trying to run on her iGPU

Windows is normally pretty okay at allocating the correct GPU though

[leaden silo]

Unless that GPU is wrong, thats well under min specs

[proper flint]

She was playing last update just fine

Well, 15-30fps but it did run

[leaden silo]

You mean 0.3.5 right ? - but yea, that GPU is well under the min specs for GZW, by like 200%

[proper flint]

Did you guys just implement a minimum spec check?

Because like I said, whatever the update before you guys released 0.4.1.0 was ran fine

[leaden silo]

I dont know the answer to that but will ask.

And that what i was asking, was she playing 0.3.5. or 0.4.0.0

[proper flint]

Hm. I don't actually know

I figured she would have had to be on 0.4.0.0

[leaden silo]

Can you also get a screen of the error, like does it say you dont meet them and then a close button, as in no way to bypass it.

[proper flint]

Since surely you can't play with mismatched versions?

We've both asked her for one ^^

[leaden silo]

when did you last play together?

[proper flint]

To the best of my knowledge, she wasn't ignoring an update or anything

[proper flint]

About a week ago, roughly?

[leaden silo]

Ok, so that would have been 0.4 so i just need a screen of the message and i will ask.

[proper flint]

Alright, either me, @long sail or the person in question will post that once it's taken

[long sail]

yup if she send it to me when she's back online will post it

[blazing hill]

A 3060 will work. I was using it this update untill i got my new gpu in.

If shes tight on funds they are pretty easy to find in my experince

Altho a rx580 should be able to run it too

[leaden silo]

I checked with the team, the warning your friend sees what not added in todays update, it was added in 0.4.0.0 so this is likely the last time they played, with the updates to the game for 0.4 it is likly that GPU can no longer play GZW>

[proper flint]

Could you guys maybe add a bypass? I mean the game works fine and it's not like it's detrimental to anyone but those on lower-than-minimum spec hardware

[hollow wadi]

Im suprised that it doesnt have on already tbh, most games will just give you a warning but let you play on haha.

Also I am very impressed that your friend could play the game on that graphics card haha

[proper flint]

Tbf "play" is a strong word-

Need to start a fundraiser or smth for a new GPU for them

[hollow wadi]

Haha I wasnt gonna be rude, but yea..

Luckily GPU prices arent too insane as long as you dont go for the really good ones, like Congo mentioned earlier a 3050, 3060 works and usually only costs a few hundred

[proper flint]

Even my 4070 struggles in Midnight sometimes, I applaud her for handling the 470

[hollow wadi]

I do too, im glad she hasnt been spoiled by technology like others, I am completely content on playing GZW on low/medium, no need for max graphics!

[proper flint]

Also shows the power of the older Ryzen CPUs! Quite happy with my 5700X

[proper flint]

@leaden silo

This is basically the screen they get

[leaden silo]

Thats completly different, lol

[proper sapphire]

Really? I have a 4070 that holds stable 144 FPS in MS, that's odd.

With frame gen ofc

[proper flint]

I swear I’m cursed not gonna lie. All of my PC stuff always seems to run worse than it should (No it’s not a PSU issue)

[hollow wadi]

Not every componenent is made the same, this becomes clearer and clearer with newer games, Someone with an exact same system as you might have better performance slightly or slightly worse

[proper flint]

DDR4 prolly doesn’t help lmao

3200 at that-

[hollow wadi]

Eh, its not the end of the world, I run DDR4 3200 atm, Upgrading to DDR5 would help yes, but I dont think it will be a massive difference

This game is more reliant on CPU/GPU than RAM

[proper flint]

I am also running almost max settings on everything so that also explains a lot

[hollow wadi]

So spoiled, Im on low everything :)

[proper flint]

I only just finished paying this 4070 off lmao

[hollow wadi]

I dont play a tonne of "new" games, so I went with a cheaper option when buying parts, I got a 3060 in mine

This is the newest game I play by far
