Why can't my PC run this game?

[Mario1981]

Minimum graphics say intel UHD graphics 630. I have a radeon pro WX 3100! Isn't it better? Yet, still, it only runs 1 FPS! is my graphics card just dirt?

I think your card is closer to the UHD 620. Even so, I think they just mean that it will launch with that card, not that it's going to look good or run above a certain FPS.

I just double checked. My laptop has an i7 & a UHD 630 in it & there's no way in hell it could run NMS. Probably Stardew Valley, maybe Factorio, but that's probably pushing it.

[Mario1981]

Ok

[Ozwald]

Yeah, those minimum specs are a pipe dream. This laptop is an i7, 16 gigs of RAM with a UHD 630. Absolutely no chance in hell of running NMS on this thing.

Lets see :
Could you post the content of your TKGRAPHICSSETTINGS.MXML (just open it with notepad and copy&paste it)
That file is in \steamapps\common\No Man's Sky\Binaries\Settings

That good?

[Mr. Bufferlow]

Definitely turn off MP in the network settings for the game. That will get you a small boost. To the extent you can, some programs are required, turning off as many programs as you can that are running in the background might help.

Your setup does appear to be on the ragged edge of minimum requirements. You're going to miss out on a lot of the beauty of the game- which is big plus on why I play it. Your settings don't look off to me, but Musashi is an expert on that.

As your mxml shows NMS is using your UHD620 and not your Radeon
You may try to connect only one monitor at the HDMI port of your Radeon

But I doubt that will be work, too ... because your radeon is already EOF

If that is a laptop you need to run it with connected to thew power line... if on Accu it would use your UHD2

My advise ... dont try to get NMS running ... you still can get a refund
