Microsoft Windows 11 Pro [Version 10.0.22621.1413]
Intel Core i7 3630QM @ 2.40GHz

ForceWare version: 425.31
Unreal Engine 5.1.1
I have an old notebook running Windows 11 x64, recently installed Unreal 5.1.1. On running the Unreal Editor 5.1.1 it always pop up the following message:
I have loaded a project and set the RHI to DirectX 11 via Unreal Editor; Edit → Project settings → Platforms → Windows → Default RHI” and select DirectX 11, on loading that project, it also pops up message above.
I have try to install latest NVidia GeForce graphics driver GeForce_Experience_v3.27.0.112 but it is not supported.
How to prevent the pop up warning message from showing up, is there a way to disable ? I still can run Unreal Engine 5.1.1 but I wanted to know is there a way to set the Unreal Engine 5.1.1 to use features available for my PC specification, at least I still can use it to develop low to mid range graphics games software ?
I figured out a workaround for this.
The popup is being created in the RHIDetectAndWarnOfBadDrivers function in DynamicRHI.cpp
It’s actually looking at a console variable before deciding whether or not to create the popup.
If you add the following line into the [Startup] section of Program Files\Epic Games\UE_5.1\Engine\Config\ConsoleVariables.ini the popup should disappear:
You need to meet the minimum requirements for UE5.
The latest drivers can be installed using Geforce experience, but if the laptop does not support it you just won’t be able to and need to use an older version of the engine.
mpxc, thanks for the hint it works but the third person template project running very slow, anyhow I will try some low poly project based and see.
Thanks Roy_Wierer.Seda145 for the sharing, yeah read that article before, but not sure what Notebook fast enough to run UE5, may get new notebook in the future for sure. Thanks again.
Does anyone know how to fix this if you get the message when you open a build game? For a project I have an old Lenovo ThinkCentre M715Q USFF Ryzen 5 PRO 3,2 GHz. When I open the game that I have build from unreal engine 5 I get the same warning message. I have already tried to update the drivers but then the game doesnt open at all so I went back to the old drivers. I want the game to open on startup since it will be presented at an exhibition but this warning message prevents the game from opening on computer startup without someone clicking the no button.
