    I remember watching the first trailer they released more than a decade ago and thinking wow, those are some nice graphics and I am a sucker for space stuff. But at the time, my 1080ti didn’t look powerful enough for such a game.

    Then some 4 years ago or so, with a brand new 3080Ti there was a free weekend to try the game and, after cranking every setting to max, what I remember is, wow these graphics are outdated AF and it is a stutter fest. Uninstalled after a couple hours never to think about it again.

      Your CPU also matters a whole lot for this game.

      It’s weird to me when gamers only mention GPU.

      What CPU do you have? When you said stutters did you mean like low fps like me? I’ve had my game crash many times because I was travelling through different planets

      My experience was 30-40 fps during hub > takeoff > crash > veryfying files

        A 5900x. Ay The time it was top of the line. I didn’t experience any crashes but the stutter was crazy and the FOS were, as I remember, always around or below 60 at 3860x1600. Problem is the maxed out graphics were meh at best so that level of performance wasn’t justified at all in my opinion.
