1Gb RAM (2 highly recommended)
150Mb Hard Drive space

Troubleshooting
Graphic Issues
In video and sound settings, check that Bloom Shading is disabled
Try running the game in 1024×768 windowed mode
In can of very poor performances, it's likely caused by having Windows' visual style disabled. You can fix that by doing the following (Windows 7):
Open the Control Panel, click System and then Advanced System Settings.
In Performance » click Settings
In the Visual Effects list check “Use visual styles on windows and buttons” at the bottom.
The latest version of DirectX need to be properly installed on your computer.
Download it here.
Be sure to have the latest drivers for your graphic card installed. Here's the link for

General Tips
Compatibility with Windows XP isn't guaranteed at all. In all cases, be sure to have the latest service pack installed (no matter the
OS).
Try to run the game in windowed mode (not full screen) if it doesn't launch properly.
The ffdshow filter, installed with some multimedia and codec packs may cause issues with our sound library on some computers. You can prevent ffdshow from running with our application by opening its settings, clicking DirectShow Controls / don't use ffdshow in / edit… and add Unending Galaxy's executable to the list. Refer to FFDShow website and documentation for help if need be.
