The minimum specs are for minimal game settings with good performance.

The recommended specs are for medium average game settings with good performance.

There isn't a spot on Steam or GOG to officially specify "best experienced with" specs with all the bells and whistles and I think there's quite ...

Yeah, I'm collaborating with him on the GUI controls amongst other things.

Do you still have this issue on the betas with a Stride version on or after v4.2.0.2?

In future builds we should have a built-in workaround for these issues, but a fix that has worked for some is to disable SMT on these processors while running the game.

You may also try disabling CCDs other than CCD0 (e.g. CCD1) if you know what that means.

One easy way to quickly toggle SMT is to ...

"disableDefaultMusic": true

Are you running in SDR or HDR?

I think I see how this problem happens, I'll bring it up in our next dev meeting.

I went over an alternative publish strategy a week ago that uses a normal apphost that should get HarmonyX working. It hasn't been attempted for a beta release yet.

We could also provide our own patch backend if the author doesn't support SelfContained. There is no (legitimately significant ...

Are you using headphones, external or monitor speakers, or some combination?

Try turning off HDR under DXVK?

There's a new command line load point for the Mod Loader (and other mods) to use and game content re-loading has been removed so the mod loader won't "duplicate changes," but I have yet to update it to post-v1.0.4.9 support yet.

The game's support for extensions using XML is being extended and is ...

Why store the xml in the save files?

Decision was made before I signed on. It's non-traditional, it has its share of pros and cons.

Did you previously use any mods by any chance or have any loose xml files in the data directory?

The game content is baked into saved games, so if you previously had a mod and removed it, that would cause this.

One of the crashes says there's a duplicate tech tree entry.

We'll inspect the save ...

Most of you will likely already have .NET 6 installed, however, if you're prompted to install .NET 6 by the game upon first run, to ensure you get the right .NET Desktop runtime, here are some additional details. :)

I'm not ...
