Minimum requirements not met lies
Hi. I've been getting a warning about minimum requirements not being met when I launch the game. I'm running an AMD Ryzen 9800x3d, an RTX 5080, and 64 gigs of ram. I don't know in what universe that is below minimum specs. Here's an exerpt from the logs; it seems to have an issue detecting my drive, which it complains about for some reason:

I have a work around
make a new virtual hard drive it can be on your nvme drive just make sure its a new simple volume and NTFS. Initialise the drive. you can do this by going to disk management then up at the top Action > Create VHD. a small box will pop it will ask for a location to place the drive, and as i said before this can be on your dynamic nvme it will be fine. under that it will ask for size SE2 doesn't need a ton of space but i would give it a bit of headroom for later updates (se2 is just under 41GB currently and the SDK is just under 97GB)
keep it at fixed size and click ok, it will take a few mins to create you will see a progress bar at the bottom of the Disk Management window. Once created it will be black and unallocated. just right click and initialise it, choose its name ect
you can check its right by doing CMD > DISKPART > LIST DISK and it should be something like the attached image.
then just go on steam and move SE2 (and the SDK if you use that) to your new virtual drive. it will now work.
