I was more excited about Squadron 42. I backed it a decade ago. Been waiting. Download and installed it a few months ago. Couldn't even get it to launch. Gave up. I have written it off as a lose and moved on.
What kind of system are you running it on? If its Linux there's a community Installer that simplifies things.
If its windows... good luck. Their forums are cesspool of bad help.
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was a free weekend to try the game and, after cranking every setting to max, what I remember is, wow these graphics are outdated AF and it is a stutter fest.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.
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. At The time it was top of the line. I didn't experience any crashes but the stutter was crazy and the FPS 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.
That was a good buy. Those big Ampere GPUs are aging like wine.
I put in £30 early on almost a pound per year at this point
