Hello Mikah231!

 

We saw that you have a question about system requirements, and would like to help answer this for you.

 

The system requirement are in place to ensure you have a smooth PCVR experience, without compromising the game, so there is no workaround for a CPU, as our engineers have determined that the intel-i5 is the oldest CPU that will have sufficient processing speed to run PCVR without issues.

 

We would suggest that you have a look into this article, as this can help get an idea about minimum requirement and the recommended PC requirements that you will need in order to enjoy the PCVR world.

 

We hope this information is helpful and wish you a wonderful day!

    Unfortunately Mikah, an i3 processor will not have the power to run PCVR. I know, I have the same one you have on my laptop. My wife's does work, I think hers is i7. I'm not really into it as I prefer the standalone experience, but if you really want to play PCVR get yourself a gaming laptop with at least i5 and preferably i7 or similar powered AMD having first checked Meta's list of supported processors.
