PC requirements

[Sky Spark]

Those requirements are way too high for an indie title like this, the first game ran like crap at first and I expect this to be the same. I just hope it doesn't take too long to optimize :/ I have 7600X and a 4060 so I'll be fine but I worry for people still on Ryzen 3/5000 series or Intel 10th-12th gen.

at the moment, I have an i3-12100f and an rx550 on about-ultras, the game is going smoothly. I think there will be no problems with optimizing the 2 parts

I have a Ryzen 5600X CPU so it's a bit worrisome. However my CPU is currently no bottleneck for any modern game running at 1080p and high+ graphics, so I have hope.

Over the years I've found that companies often exaggerate CPU requirements. Before this PC, I ran for 12 years with an overclocked Intel Core i5 750 which was waaay below minimum specs for every release, but I had no problem playing these games. I suspect I'll be fine with my 5600X for Subnautica 2.

On the other hand, I've found that GPU and RAM requirements are usually quite accurate.

nah ig my pc will die bcs i have 1070

The game is confirmed to be using Unreal Engine 5 as well.

Just because they’re an indie title doesn’t the requirements can’t be high, you can’t expect all games, especially good ones, to have lower requirements forever. The requirements for games are only going to keep going up overtime, so you may aswell stop complaining now.

I have a Ryzen 3 2200g GTX 1650 and 16gb ram idk if ican plat it like the two other games =/

I'm just concerned cuz it's using UE5 and a game recommending a recent gen CPU sounds worrying to me, im not even trying to complain.

Earlier Subnautica games were also CPU heavy, this isn't really unexpected and honestly the requirements are still reasonable imo, compared to other games coming out lately. Going off the screenshots it is a very nice looking game.

I'm fairly certain R5 3600s and up will run it just fine. My hope is that the new engine means they manage to work around the pop-in and stuttering issues that plagued the earlier two entries, because those issues couldn't be overcome no matter how strong your hardware was.

Yeah, the requirements have me a bit worried, too.
Internet connection is listed in the minimum requirements, so I guess it's an always-online title.
And the high processor requirements indicate that coop multiplayer doesn't run on dedicated servers, but will likely follow a peer-to-peer system, where up to 4 individual player environments must be rendered and simulated simultaneously. If that's the case, people joining on potatoes likely lag the game for everyone else.
I'm excited for coop on paper, but with a sandbox as densely packed as the previous subnautia titles, I forsee many technical issues with peer to peer multiplayer here...

Dunno, maybe I'd rather have a single player title, or a full blown MMO with dedicated servers doing the legwork. But we'll see how the early access turns out.

[Sky Spark]

Don't get me wrong, Im excited for this game wanna get scared with friends.

[Juasonason]

Dedicated servers have really picked up in popularity, though, over the past few years. I, for one, would love to see them, but being that it's only four player co-op, it might not make the most sense for them to put resources in developing the dedicated server route.

Always hate having to rely on the original host to be playing, in order for anyone else to play that save. I know Icarus tried to get around that by auto switching the host and saving in the cloud, but like you said, everyone has that one friend that has a machine that is barely up to spec, or low bandwidth, so if they host, it's unplayable. I feel like dedicated servers solve that problem entirely and let you and your friends be in complete control, rather than it being a free for all. Unknown Words have been pretty good about listening to their fan base, so here's to that.

ong i hope i can play this mf game on pc bcs i will not play it on a console with those ♥♥♥♥♥♥ controls, i have an NIVIDIA Geforce RTX 3060 and an AMD RYZEN 3 PRO 3200 with Radeon Graphics and Asus Prime A320-K. i know i have an ♥♥♥♥♥♥ cpu but someone tell me which one i need

There's no reason to panic already, game's a long ways out and there'll be people testing performance once it's available. The game will probably be playable on your CPU, though it is pretty slow obviously.

If you're looking to upgrade you can replace that CPU without changing the rest of your system. Something like a 5600x or even 5700X3D would be an enormous improvement and not cost you very much.

Its Unreal Engine 5. For that, the requierements are really good. Seems you dont need a high end GPU to play this game smooth.

I will change my old R9 5900X. Im only waiting for Ryzen 9800X3D/9950X3D.

Dont get me wrong, but your old rx550 will "die" in subnautica 2.
