Minimum System Requirement

[Visitor]

I also have to report issues with the game, though mine are only since a few versions ago (ironically isn\'t it after all those optimizing improvements?) - even on single player server, with default settings, the game becomes laggy, slow to response, with far longer time of loading objects and hardly any playability when it comes to fighting, as three, four, even small (mass under 10) ships make the whole thing lag like crazy.

On top of that, random crashes became far more common (tried to report them, don\'t know if it went through or the reporting .jar thing is messed up). One would assume that - while it\'s rather old - dual core processor with game given the priority and GeForce 8600 GT (on Windows) would be enough to handle the game - especially as they did a bit ago and I can play both games similiar to Star-Made like Minecraft on high settings and different but far more graphics intensive (considering replaying Mass Effect series while waiting for some fix).

cannot be run on HP Mini 210, due to shader support, might i suggest the devs, add more shader support(2.0-3.0), for older pc or netbooks, would love to play on the go without internet connection to my home pc. though i might soon upgrade my pc, i would still like to play on netbook.

Is there a way to get shader model 3.0 without getting a new graphics card? I\'m not sure if i can install a new GPU to my laptop.

@Pesoen: Doing that would hold back the game for people with newer systems.

@EliteChippy: No you can not, to both questions.

Not true, Kerbal Space Program is still in development and they have the requirments; They just have to post the requirments and update them as they change

We need a google doc or something where we dump the stats our computers have and the severity of the lag. Then maybe we can get a functional system requirements page, or at worst a database people can browse to see if anybody else can play with their specs or if they should just get a better computer.

As for me, I can play single player with moderate lag (only on autosave or viewing ships about 100x200), and multiplayer with severe lag (common freezing when building small ships).

CPU: AMD Athlon TF-20, 1.66 GHz

RAM: 3.00 GB

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 3200 (Tuned for maximum performance)

the game can RUN on awful PC\'s, lag is really only created when largew ships/planets are in contact, it all depends where you\'re gong to be playing (large servers like NASS etc) or just single player with some small fighters

what sort of guy claims that games can ruin his software and/orh hardware to such a degree that it takes a week to fix.. there\'s no virus involved here sir the game will not steal all of your porn don\'t worry

i have had to restore my laptop 3 times due to Starmade breakin java, which snowballed into broken other things.

It happens although the OP\'s estimated fix time is exaggerated. (It took me about 2 days of constant downloading to get all my games back on amd patchable/playbe which is still an unacceptable amount of time as far as I am concered.

Just because it doesn\'t happen to you doesn\'t mean it doesn\'t happen.
