Hell Let Loose Vietnam System Requirements — PC Specs

Hell Let Loose: Vietnam is built on Unreal Engine 5 and runs 100-player battles across dense jungle — that combination wants a modern PC, but the official requirements are more approachable than the original game's reputation suggests. This guide has the full minimum and recommended specs straight from the Steam store page, what each line actually means for real hardware, Steam Deck status, and how the PS5 and Xbox Series versions hold up.

Here's what you'll learn:

• The official minimum and recommended requirements, exact
• What the spec lines mean for your own PC (and where the real bottleneck is)
• Storage size, DirectX and anti-cheat requirements
• Steam Deck and SteamOS support status
• Console performance targets and known issues

Official Minimum Requirements

These are the specs to run the game at the baseline target — per the official notes, 1080p / 60 fps with TSR at 71% or DLSS Ultra Performance:

Official Recommended Requirements

The recommended target is 1080p / 60 fps at High settings with TSR at 100% or DLSS Balanced:

Per the official Steam store page, the recommended spec targets "1080p/60 fps TSR 100% High/DLSS Balanced" — note the official targets are 1080p/60, so higher resolutions require hardware above the recommended list.

Can I Run It? Reading the Specs Honestly

A few things worth knowing when you check your own PC:

• Both tiers list 16 GB RAM — memory is not where you save money. 16 GB is the floor for a 100-player shooter; if you're on 8 GB, expect stutter.
• The GPU is the star of the show. The minimum (RTX 2060 Super / RX 6600 XT) only hits 60 fps at 1080p with aggressive upscaling (TSR 71% / DLSS Ultra Performance). On older cards like a GTX 1060 or RX 580, you'll be in low-preset territory and below 60 — playable in the sense that it runs, not comfortable.
• CPU matters in big matches. 100-player battles with artillery and dense foliage are CPU-heavy. The min CPUs (i5-10600K / R5 3600X) are the real gatekeeper — a great GPU on a decade-old quad-core will stutter regardless of graphics settings.
• The "additional notes" line is the honest frame target — minimum = 60 fps only with upscaling cranked. If you want native 1080p/60 with decent settings, aim for the recommended tier.
• Install size is 30 GB on Steam (the earlier 52 GB figure floating around is the original Hell Let Loose's spec page, not Vietnam's). DirectX 12 is required.

Steam Deck & SteamOS Support

The game works on SteamOS/Linux. GamingOnLinux verified the Steam launch and confirmed it runs on SteamOS — a notable win given the Easy Anti-Cheat requirement (EAC is supported on Linux for this title). That said, "runs" and "runs well" are different things: the min spec needs an RTX 2060 Super-class GPU, and the Steam Deck's APU sits well below that, so expect low settings, TSR scaling, and 30-45 fps territory on the handheld. It's a "frag it occasionally on Deck, play properly on desktop" situation until Valve/AMD hardware catches up — exact Deck framerates were not independently benchmarked at the time of writing, so treat that range as an estimate.

Console Versions: PS5 & Xbox Series

Console specs are fixed, so this is about targets: the marketing material lists 4K Ultra HD at 60 fps+ for Xbox Series X|S, and the PS5 version targets 60 fps. Real-world reports from launch week were more mixed — some PS5 players reported audio dropouts (since fixed in the first hotfix) and console visual quality complaints around foliage. The developers have said console performance remains a priority, and the crossplay playtest was explicitly used to stress-test console framerates on the Đắk Tô Airfield map. If you're choosing a platform, the honest summary is: PC offers the most tuning headroom, consoles offer the most stable, predictable experience — with the caveat that both are still in hotfix territory.

Known Performance Issues & Fixes

Launch-window reality, from the official launch info blog and dev comms thread:

• AMD GPU crashes — known issue with temporary workarounds: add -dx12 -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -malloc=system (or the -dx11 variant) to Steam launch options, and/or disable the in-game overlay in AMD Adrenalin. A hotfix landed within days.
• Settings not saving — reported and under investigation; reapply settings and save via the in-game prompt.
• Server capacity at launch — fixed with additional official servers and a browser update (auto-refresh, hide-full toggle, low-ping prioritisation).
• Nvidia Game Ready Driver — a dedicated driver was expected shortly after launch; update your driver before playing.
