Check your setup before you convert

Runtime preparation

The reviewed usage document selects a Vulkan 1.1 device with graphics, compute and presentation support. That is a documented selection rule, not a guarantee that every game or driver will work.

Keep this information beside your logs. If you try another machine, record its details separately instead of overwriting the first result.

Building is a separate task

The full-build document lists an x86-64 host, Git, CMake 3.22.1 or newer, Ninja and a C++20 toolchain. Platform-specific dependencies also apply. Use the build guide to choose the correct mode.

Installing a compiler is useful only if you intend to compile. For a published build, begin by identifying the available assets and their target platform.

Investigate the actual memory error

Upstream explains that Windows direct-memory allocation can charge the system commit limit. Read the exact allocation failure and inspect commit usage; installed RAM alone does not describe that situation.

Our recommendation: record current usage and the failing allocation before changing system settings. Keep the value in its original unit. Do not turn one title’s report into a universal RAM requirement.

Plan a small first test

• Use a specific input and build you can identify.
• Pick an observable endpoint, such as reaching a particular screen.
• Allow time to collect logs, rather than assuming a one-click setup.
• For Steam Deck, laptops or another platform, seek a report for that exact environment.

We do not publish a minimum GPU model, recommended FPS or universal RAM figure because this guide has not established those measurements.
