When CIG announced that online fps reporting tool it was predictable that it would used to contradict anyone posting about poor performance - after 12 months of OCS development.
Here it is, it requires its own supporting argument and it doesn't even report min or max frames.
CIG games including Star Citizen and Squadron 42 have the following minimum requirements. We strongly recommend having a system with these minimums to effectively install, load, and play the games.
Windows 7 (64bit) with Service Pack 1, Windows 8 (64bit), Windows 10 - Anniversary Update (64bit)
DirectX 11 Graphics Card with 2GB RAM (4GB strongly recommended)
Quad Core CPU
16GB+ RAM
SSD strongly recommended
Perhaps, and I'm not bothered to check their metrics.
But...
I saw this and nearly spilled my beer laughing.
Not to mention it doesn't even define it's current minimum or recommended specifications.
Sovapid cheered..... woo hoo.
An outstanding achievement. Normal FPS flying above an icy planet. Never seen that done before. BDSSE!!!!! Chris Roberts does it again! I'm going to buy an Idris now.
If the client isn't building an accurate picture of its operating environment, then that chart, which is pulling that same data, is completely useless.
It's broken at step one.

Dude, what privacy are you talking about? You're presumably using a username that bears no relation to your real name. I can assure you my real name is nothing like Agony Aunt.
Come on, release the tapes Hilary! Erm... i mean, jpm470.
As for the specs, if you go back a bit, or just read my post, i said that my specs are below minimum. But it plays, and as i noted, my criticism wasn't based on the performance. It was based on the gameplay experienced.
Unless you want to tell my than when I died or got disconnected, that i lost my ship due to being below spec? Or when I got to the planet, i couldn't QT down because my PC is below spec? Or that my opinion of the flight and walk models are bad, because my PC is below spec? (and just to remind you, my FPS was ok in space or walking around on my ship... not great, but bearable).
Not a bad idea.
But as for the performance,FPS, graphics quality, any argument saying that is poor that makes people look silly, just look online

With a game that is infamous for having bad performance, for having rather nonsensical and counterfactual dev communication on the causes for that poor performance, and where looking online even now (after they've decreased the load and performance is “good” in comparison) will provide plenty of examples of that poor performance still being a thing…
…it does not make any argument saying that performance is poor look silly, no. Rather, it makes those arguments look consistent with both historical and current observations.
The fact that it is so hideously inconsistent from one player to the next does not make this any less true — quite the opposite: it further highlights that performance is still very much a fundamental problem with the game.
Pretty much!
Mind you - my minimum spec experiment isn't going too badly so far!
Some textures look like they fell out the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down though![]()
Lifts are still death traps.. Dont go near them. Also i like how realistic how the player movements and physics are. Total realism. Such immersion.
I've thought about it a few times - but basically nobody wants to watch triple screen output unless they have triple screens themselves.
Plus I can't be bothered![]()
You can check the performance of the community here. https://robertsspaceindustries.com/telemetry
I get 40 to 120 outside of Lorville with my 2015 Asus ROG laptop. Inside 20 to 30. My frames doubled at min and tripled at max. Most of the community had a performance boost due to OCS and NBC.
Lorville is getting its own perf improvements in the coming updates.
Agony I have been her 3 weeks I now realise that folk like you look at a post and comment without looking back at the context to which it was posted. Its a shame.
the original post was--
"Yeah - it really doesn't matter what your specs are, SC runs terribly no matter what hardware you throw at it. Between myself and my friend's equipment we've cobbled together various frankenrigs over the years - and apart from loading times it's not made a shred of difference - performance is still in the bucket."
My reply showed that specs clearly do make a difference, your reply is well- disappointing.
Am I now free to reply to any criticism of the ingame play that you make as nonsense, as you are playing on less than minimum specs, and quote this post?
I still respect your opinions on finances/loan issues/CIG corporate competence/ and any of my speelling mistakkes.
Then your claims are only as believable as those who claim amazing things.
See you all in a few days, Church tomorrow
Let us pay!
Our Chris,
who art in Monaco,
Hallowed be thy JPG,
Thy BDSSE come,
Thy vision be done,
In space as it is on Stanton
