I suspect this game will push the limits of most connections and systems. However, even at 20-30 GB now, alot of people are having download issues from hangs to corrupted files irrespective of data rate. I see this being a pain in the ass. |

so, 20-30GB for garage? Is there anything else in the game? (I didn;t follow it, last thing I saw is that they are going to add dogfight in 2-3 maps, something like that) |

|

I have AMD FX-6300 oc'd to 3.8
8 gig ddr3
HD7770 1 gig mem
The game ran like crap. Couldn't even play it. Massive freeze ups when I ran the game. I think this game will not be playable unless you pay for top of the line system. Won't even try it again. |

Well, that's a weight off my chest.
Most games that wants to delivery it all usually fail, so I expected that. |

Ya there are other games out there like Elite Dangerous.. I had interest in this game but I've always believed it will be made to support top-end hardware and sorry I'm not blowing a stupid amount of money on a new video card, mobo and ram.. |

that rig isn't really good enough for most games nowadays. 7770? That's a very weak card, it was weak when it came out, 2 years ago. |

I have a GTX 580 (about on pair with that AMD card).
Not very keen on picking up a new card until they're so expensive.
Most games play just fine in 1920*1200, with medium or high setting. |
