It's probably more a case of the game will crash if the resolution isn't reduced. In this case though it's probably not as simple as you will just have lower frames per second. However I feel it should be the players choice to decide if they want to have higher textures and lower frames as a result, or to turn the textures and other settings down to have a smoother experience.

It stands to reason that if you have the bare minimum equipment allowed then you are going to have a pretty bare minimum experience, such as not being able to handle full texture resolution. Minimum requirements are just that, bare minimum. While I do agree with you and they are really playing fast and loose here, they are technically not doing anything wrong.

Of course some of the suggestions being made haven't been answered as such, it remains to be seen whether this is an actual issue or not. Either 8GB should be enough (assuming nothing other than OS and EGS is running) or the requirements still need a further update. It's "system" requirements not "spare with OS running" requirements. Originally posted by Colossal Sprout:If minimum requirements have been increased to 8GB but 8GB supposedly isn't enough, something isn't right here. You might be able to close a few things down and milk a little more out but you are still going to be playing on low res settings by default. Click the Change button under the Virtual memory section. When the Performance Options screen appears, click the Advanced tab. Open the Advanced tab in the System Properties window. Your OS uses some of that, as does virus software and other various things running in the background. Select Advanced system settings in the follow-up screen. On that note I've seen others mention elsewhere that they're running EGS with.

Now it sounds like they are actively checking for free RAM on startup, so it's even more penalizing now. 'Low memory check on startup, texture resolution reduction on low memory on startup'.
Low memory note 8 Patch#
Originally posted by TwitchyJ:Part of the new patch that just released on the experimental branch is this, Now it sounds like they are actively checking for free RAM on startup, so it's even more penalizing now. So with 10.5 it was automatically reduced if you had less than 10GB RAM installed, regardless of how much was free.

"- Forcing now half texture resolution if the system has less than 10 GB of main memory (before 8 GB)" Plus they also did something similar when 10.5 released, I'm just guessing here since they didn't really give any details on it than what I quoted above. So you can still play but only at a reduced texture. So if your system only has 8GB installed then it will never have 8GB free for the game, since at the very least the operating system needs some RAM. So I'm guessing the game now checks to make sure that there is at least 8GB of free RAM on startup and then lowering texture resolution if there isn't enough free. "Low memory check on startup, texture resolution reduction on low memory on startup" Note: DO NOT DIAL THE CODE WITH A 3RD PARTY DIALER, Dial with your stock dialer. Part of the new patch that just released on the experimental branch is this, So even if youre not getting the low memory notification on your phone.
