STELLARIS: New Paradox Game in SPAAAACE

The little eagle next to the race portraits? I can't see it.

It's there for me.

Ugh, I was up until 1:30, one more minuting. 

[celedhring]

That's weird then. It doesn't show up for me?

My monitor is only 720p (oldish laptop...) so I suspect a display bug is what's happening here...

Anyone with a "less than or around" minimum specs computer have a report on how smoothly the game is running for them?

I have a laptop with a i5-2430, 4 GB RAM and a NVidia GT555M 1GB graphics card and it runs okay. Smoother than EU4.

The graphics card is the holdup for me.  Mine only has 512MB.

Quick! Escape through the time portal before we are trapped in 2006 forever!

[Eddie Teach]

2006 was better.

I have an older i5 and my graphics card is 1 gig.  1015 mb is minimum according to systemrequirements.com so technically I'm 15 mb shy but that might just be a weird twist.   My processor is the only other not up to snuff spec from the minimum requirements. 

That's why i asked the question as I'm just below minimum. 

So far I have been playing on a small map and it's been running exceptionally well. 

I think 512 mb might work, but you'd be pushing it.

I've read that it works exceptionally well on low level systems, but has stuttered on some high level new computers. They're releasing (or perhaps already have) released a hot fix for that today.

No problem on my year old macbook pro.

[Phillip V]

Are any of the aliens attractive?

[Tonitrus]

Alas, no scantily-clad blue elf babes.  We might have to wait for the new MOO for that. 

[Martinus]

The Mac version seems a bit wonky - occasionally graphics goes to shit and you have to reload. I also had a few CTDs.

How quickly do you guys build up your fleet by the way? I was owned by space pirates soon after establishing my second colony.

[Jaron]

Always.

Is there any point to running excess credits? I always try to keep myself as close to 0 as possible.

Stockpile for emergency or trading. Colonizing a planet takes a ton of energy credits. Stockpiling minerals in case you need to rebuild your fleet is also neccessary.
