cool all right minus one minute for Q a I mean yeah it's already six, one wait one one video I kind of want to share real quick, is actually from the satisfactory news channel, oh yeah because some some people have asked about GPU stuff yeah and Hardware stuff, I don't have any other information about that but I think I think, Mason the person who runs satisfactory news who also does video editing for us by the way and he runs this channel, he knows a little bit more about Free Shadow there he is actually amazes here again he knows a little bit more about Hardware than like- I don't know too much about it so I can't really talk about it but like you can check out this video where he talks a little bit about I don't know Legend five stuff and he also talks about some stuff regarding Hardware so- I saw that some people were concerned about a really high, minimum, required GPU yeah and it's we can sort of debate what we want to do with that however that GPU I think it's like it's model number is like kind of high yeah but it's actual performance is kind of low yeah exactly it's a modern GPU but it's not actually you know modern isn't always better yeah exactly so even though it's a newer GPU that doesn't mean it's powerful and it doesn't mean you're older GPU can't like you can have an older GPU but it's more performant than that one so I if you check out that video towards the end of the video he talks about that and and that might be something worthwhile to to consider but at the same time if that's just confusing in general maybe there's just maybe some something more we can do or something I'm not sure but like, yeah so- I yeah we talked about it quite extensive or I talked quite extensively about it the the stream after that video was dropped where you know yeah it is confusing with with the specs and the hardware and like what specifically runs and whatnot I don't think, like for me the game runs just as fine and I have a [ __ ] GPU from 2016., when I'm not using Lumen, so so the the general feeling I'm getting and this is just my personal you know feeling is that like the the specs it isn't you should probably try it out, on your own before like saying that you know my computer probably won't run anymore there's probably computers that it won't run anymore because but more so because of DirectX 12 support, because we're leaning heavily on DirectX 12 support for a lot of features and a lot of optimizations in the game we still you can still run the game with their Exit 11 but it's more of a fallback for us right now and we are DirectX 12 is like the default renderer for us I think that has a bigger play if anything when it comes to the support at the moment but we'll we'll see I will probably flesh out a bit more also the process of how we figured out the minimum specs, is like it's hard to like figure out what actual minimum specs are so, Jay said in the menu they're preliminary and, by gosh we're sticking by that there preliminary we'll we'll yeah yeah refresh that more when we release it yeah maybe it's something that we can sort of more better Define and I think there's better communication that can happen there because I also think that like the fact like maybe the selection of that GPU to say that that's the minimum is accurate but it can maybe be misleading if people don't really know that yeah later model number doesn't mean faster than older model number, and then so then maybe what we should do is should we pick a different model that's early that reflects it a little bit I don't know like I don't know maybe this is something we can do to clear up the confusion and then at that point if the confusion is cleared up and people aren't don't think that that's right then we can like tackle that issue but yeah anyway is there anything else World
