It made it so I couldn't play the game, because my computer didn't meet the spec requirements.

Not saying it was a bad call. My computer was old and shitty, but now I'm out another $900.

Maybe it could work with some FSR settings? And yeah in this case it would have been better if they did allow to use two game clients, old and new.

Midrange systems from 3-4 years ago are the ones that are struggling a little bit. It's playable but noticeably slower. It can mostly be mitigated by turning all the bells and whistles off though, and I guess if we really wanted the extra frames we could turn down the resolution. But playing the game at 720p for instance is a serious disadvantage, theres not enough pixels to see your hud elements and the fight mechanics without a super ultrawide monitor or a zoom hack. 1080p is ok but 1440p or 4k are ideal
