Using older hardware

Sleet

Yesterday I was thrilled that I had been selected to participate in the closed beta. After looking up the hardware requirements I concluded that I could not play the game with a reasonable framerate. However, I decided to download it anyways (which was a grueling 4 hour wait) to watch the cutscenes and have a look around the menus. To my surprise upon the launch of the game it would not even begin to load and rejected me with a message that claimed I needed to update my Nvidia drivers to at least version 364.51. A quick internet search later and it turns out that I can only install up to version 341.92. My wonder is first what is provided in these newer drivers that the game cannot deal without (is it a restriction to make sure players have newer hardware or is it a framework or utility etc.) and secondly is there a way around it. ex a launch parameter or configuration file that would allow me to still launch the game even if the graphical fidelity was reduced. Thanks in advance.

Whats your hardware specs ?

CPU: Intel Core 2 quad Q8300 2.4Ghz base clock
GPU: Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTS 512 mb

Right now its not a problem since I've upgraded my hardware but it'd be nice if there wasn't that restriction.

You aren't playing this game with 512MB VRAM. Not at any resolution, or any level of settings. 2GB wasn't sufficient, in my experience (I'm upgrading to a 1070 in June).

I now have a R7 RADEON 370 2GB and intel i5. I hope it's enough. I also have my arcade computer with an I3 and GEFORCE GTX 750 TI 2GB (not connected to the internet) But will there be a playable demo to download first? I haven't bought a new pc game in 10 years probably. I feel like these 2 computers are in between the specs a bit.
