[QUOTE="Christopher, post: 6518512]No doubt the graphics needs some work. The frame rate is all over the place for me. Considering the low system requirements, this is just strange.[/QUOTE]
May be the AMD combo is what's having issues? AMD CPU + GPU? Your system was similar to mine iirc, except for GPU. Quite strange, the only issues i get is when the game loads in new assets, i get a tiny engine stall, then the game picks back up again.
[QUOTE="WaxWeazle, post: 6518513]Played an hour yesterday.
Performance on PC is poor, continuous lags, no proper explanation on how things work (even for an exploration game that would be useful to give at least SOME guidance in ANY direction at the least), crashed on a planet where I got killed 5 times within the first half hour because of drones and animals attacking me and not having anything proper to defend myself, controls don't even make sense in my opinion.. Why the flying $#@! do I have to press my RIGHT joystick to RUN? Who made up these controls? The $#@!.
Good thing though; The OST is bonkers.[/QUOTE]
The drones are like the universe police. If you mine too much near them, kill wildlife in their presence, or attack them, they come after you. You should be able to kill them with the starting mining tool.
On the mining tools, i lucked into this beast of a mining tool. Literally takes an age to heat up, and tears through materials/enemies like butter.
I quite like the it dropped me in with nothing but a slim sense of what im doing. I've been building up my alien vocabulary. I can almost understand what they say now....almost. Give me another week and i'll have it sorted :snicker
But speaking on planets, the planet i spawned on was ace. Not too hot, not too cold, Little toxicity, Very low Radiation levels, Lots of Fauna, and all the animals were passive. I did see Shenron what i travelled to a new system though. So not looking forward to marching around those places.
