[Aklyon]

I appear to have struck that FTL multiplayer bug on Aklyon's server.

Fack.

No, the server just crashed.

[Tarran]

Not surprised, the server was having lots of random lag spikes for quite a while.

Oh well, gives me an excuse to go back to singleplayer and get stuff from there.

[Aklyon]

Should be back up.

[Darkmere]

Suspicion: confirmed. Starting planet had a meteor shower that obliterated my crops, house, workbench, and me, multiple times.

Guess it's back to living on a ship. -_-

[Tellemurius]

server up for stress test, tellehome.myvnc.com

It will be going down this weekend for a bit as im moving a new router into my network.

[Twi]

Aklyon is afk.

So now that the Beta's been out a while, has anyone made any attempts to try to find the minimum system requirements? I really want to try this, but no point in wasting money.

This game eats ram like candy, other than that i can probably could make it run on a pentium 4 at least.

I'm running on a 2.1(ish) ghz dual core, 4(ish) gigs ram, 256 meg integrated video card... I think. The video card might be a 1 gig one. Not a gaming optimized one regardless. HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC, but there's apparently like three bloody versions of the dv7 or some rampant nonsense so gods only know what the actual hardware is.

Starbound's been running fine even when there's less than two gigs of RAM free, though. Mostly maxes out the CPU but it runs fairly smoothly.

Not afk, the power went out for a bit and I felt terrible so I just left the computer off.

It's actually not going to be a good time to judge until the very end of the last phase of beta, when all the systems are in and they do optimization passes. The game's bulky and buggy right now, so it's hard to say what the final setup is going to be.

...but there's apparently like three bloody versions of the dv7 or some rampant nonsense...

It's actually closer to 20, when you count all the vendor specific (Best Buy, Sam's Club, Costco, etc.) models. I should know, I had to memorize 12 spec sheets for my area just for the dv7.

[Frumple]

Completely divorced from Starbound, but I sincerely hope someone got fired for that, MZ. That's, just... well. It's certainly not to the consumer's benefit, that's for sure, and probably explains why it's been such a pain in the rear to find drivers and system specs and whatnot in the past. Wish I knew whether it'd be safe to stick another harddrive in the thing... it's got space for it, but no clue about power, whatever software/hardware settings would need to be mucked with, so on, so forth. And I haven't been able to find out. Apparently because there's a dozen of the bloody things on the market, and gods only know what manuals apply to which. Thinking on it, something like this is probably why the monitor replacement I tried to do for the last HP laptop didn't work out...

I do vaguely remember it having some sort of specific code or... something... but I think there was like two or three different versions of that, too. Massively stupid thing to do. Had to have made administration and logistics considerably more troublesome than it should have been

Regardless, to the original point, while it's the strongest computer I've ever had access to, it's still pretty damn weak in the overall scheme of things. Starbound's not exactly the heaviest program I've tried to run, not by a long shot.

[Tylui]

HP is pretty good at making serial numbers look short compared to the model code. But not really for lack of necessity, but more for a large amount of bloodsucking shit-for-brains middle-management. Even the NON-bloodsucking shit-for-brains type would be fine. BAZING! Relate-able office humor! Directed guidance towards what's good for the company and in turn also for yourself, NOBODY LIKES YOU, i guess would be what i'm trying to say here, albeit quite confusingly.

[MaximumZero]

The problem with HP, and I was a third party vendor (so take this with a grain of salt,) is that it's absolutely massive. It takes them approximately 18-26 months, from what I've been told, to roll out new items because there is so much bureaucracy, and trying to appease all of the vendors all at once.
