Technical Info

Unending Galaxy is in Beta. As such, you may experience some issues and bugs.

Minimum Requirements

In theory, the game may run on CPU with only one core, but stability and performances may get hit dramatically.

In video and sound settings, check that Bloom Shading is disabled
Try running this executable instead in the installation folder
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 ATI and NVidia cards

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.
