Re: build r (18336)
32bit test run, same setup as above
baseline as expected, higher cpu use on load, lower memory used in game

Re: build r (18336)
conclusions from these basic tests, increasing the amount of stars does add to more cpu and memory use, but if the 64bit exe is used, the amount isn't as high, need some data now on mid to late game tests to see what difference that makes on the overall score etc.
but imo so far, game is very well optimized.
but imo so far, game is very well optimized.
would be ok for smaller maps and games, but wouldn't like to play a 500 star map with 8 races on a low end specSYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
MINIMUM:
OS: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10
Processor: Intel Core 2.6 GHz or equivalent
Memory: 4 GB RAM
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series or better
Storage: 3 GB available space
Additional Notes: Stars in Shadow requires the OpenGL framebuffer extension. This extension is present on almost all graphics drivers released after 2010, but laptops made before 2010 with vendor-locked graphics drivers may not be able to run the game.
more than plenty for a modern setup to cope with, with either a 32bit or 64bit version used as it is, onboard vga will always be an issue as already stated and as user have been made aware, not an issue either imo.RECOMMENDED:
OS: Windows 7,8,10
Processor: Intel Core Duo 3.0 GHz or equivalent
Memory: 8 GB RAM
Graphics: NVIDIA Geforce 400 Series or better, 1 GB RAM
Storage: 3 GB available space
Re: build r (18336)
a slight pause when you end the turn, noticeable but nothing that gets picked up on either increased cpu or memory use, back on the 64bit exe for mid game testing
with the graph showing steady cpu and memory use in game and on AI turn

Re: build r (18336)
my opinion would be also on this massive scale to have the ability to not show planets which have been set to auto re do one type of build, as you still have to look and click each turn so imo only it adds to mirco management
taking these out of the shown all the time after the AI turn would quicken the game somewhat
