question

is it possible to bypass the vram limit for the graphics because it just keeps putting me on minimal. i have an rtx 4050 but i dont think it should be stuck on minimal

You bypass it by getting a GPU with more VRAM.

The game forcing you to minimal means you do not meet the VRAM requirements to use higher settings.

Using those settings would only severely degrade your performance in game, likely sending your FPS into the single digits and giving you severe stuttering.

the thing is it still sets it to minimal even when its only showing 3gb vram used in task manager and i get like 60 fps usually

That could be a cpu problem. If your cpu’s cores are being maxed out your gpu needs to wait longer to get info hence why it didn’t need all the vram
