StarDrive is a 4X Action-Strategy game where the goal is to build a space empire. Starting with a single planet and a small number of space-worthy vessels, you forge out into the galaxy, exploring new worlds, building new colonies, and discovering the StarDrive universe. The heart of StarDrive is its ship design and combat engine. StarDrive takes a module-based approach to ship design, allowing the player to create custom ship designs where the composition and placement of ship modules really matters to the performance of a ship in combat. In combat, if your portside armor is taking a beating, then rotate around and show them the starboard side! Hide behind a friendly capital ship's shields, warp into and out of the fray, launch fighters, lay mines, and so much more.

Greetings. This game looks great. Is there a schedule how long it will probably take till release? And will there be another time to preorder Stardrive? It simply looks great!

The game doesn't work at all with the new patch. No error message, just a windows message that the program stopped working.

Not that i ever got to actually play the game since the framerate is still unplayable...

I really feel there should have been a demo so that at least i could have tested the game to see if i can play it before wasting 15€.

Cheers

There is a fix on the forums. Go grab that and everything should be fine. What are your system specs? As far as I'm aware, all of the performance issues have been resolved. You may want to try updating all of your drivers on your video card.

I've grabbed the .exe from the forums and now i can run the game, but the framerate is still as terrible as always. I have already stated my specs twice before, but here it goes: TOSBIBA laptop with an intel 2.5Gh dual core processor, ATI mobility radeon 3650HD (512Mb) and 4gb of RAM. My OS is Windows Vista. And yes, my drivers are up to date.

I'm sorry if I appear rude, but i'm just really frustrated about having spent the money and not being able to use my purchase, I have participated in alpha-funding for several other games and never had problems with any before

Cheers

I'm sorry to say but your video card is not quite up to the task. Check these benchmarks out: Videocardbenchmark.net

One thing I might be able to do for you and for gamers in your shoes is to put an "iconic" mode in, where the game is played using sprites instead of 3D models. I think this is a feasible thing to do. For now, though, I'm sorry to say that you're bottlenecked heavily by your graphics card.
