So, Are We Just Agreed That The Hardware Requirements Popup on HL: Alyx Is Just BS Now? (lemmy.world)

This is a broadly substance free post. But I assume most VR headset owners have at this point at least tried Half Life: Alyx.

It therefore follows that most of you are familiar with this dumb popup you get the first time you run it:

Fair enough, on my old PC I only had a Sandy Bridge i7 2600K and a GTX1080Ti. Maybe I was below the recommended requirement even though I played through the entire campaign just fine.

Well, I just built a new PC containing a Ryzen 9 9900X, a Radeon RX 7900 XTX with 24 gigs of VRAM, and 64 gigs of system RAM.

And I still get that dumb "low memory" popup.

This game came out four years ago, Valve. What the hell did you expect people to play it on? A Cray EX254?

By chance, do you have the 64gb RAM on DDR5, and is it 4 × 16 or 2 × 32?

Also, do you have XMPP or similar turned on?

Those can sometimes cause issues with RAM detection in games.
