| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating System | Windows 10 or 11 |
| CPU Architecture | x86-64 |
| GPU / Driver | DirectX 12 |
| Internet Access | Authentication / login required on each application start. |
We hope to support Linux and MacOS for the full STPro application at some point, but that is not currently in active development.
| Component | Size |
|---|---|
| Space Teams Pro Downloaded .zip | 32 GB |
| STPro Core Assets | 13 GB |
| Planet Data | 55 GB |
| Compiler/Development Tools for Systems | ~5 GB |
| Typical User-Generated Content | ~0.2 GB |
| Misc Generated Temp Files | ~5 GB |
| Total | 111 GB |
These are the minimum and recommended computer specifications for suitability for running Space Teams Pro. These are somewhat untested / unverified; please try running our demo sims to see if your computer is powerful enough for / compatible with Space Teams Pro.
Arbitrarily chose 2021 time-of-release for listed hardware to match a majority of existing computers. Notably, having less than 8GB of VRAM can cause instability.
| Component | Requirement |
|---|---|
| CPU | Ryzen 3 5300G, i3-10105F, or equivalent (4+ cores) |
| RAM | 16 GB |
| GPU | RTX 3050, or equivalent |
| GPU VRAM | 6GB+ |
| Network | 20Mbps, <300ms latency to other users |
| Storage | SSD (with DRAM cache) |

| Component | Details |
|---|---|
| CPU | Maximizing multithreaded performance is most important. Relevant for avoiding hitches while moving around a planet, decreasing load and compile times, etc. |
| GPU | Will most likely be GPU-limited in terms of raw FPS. Especially in VR. Higher VRAM up to ~16GB will aid in avoiding hitches, slowdowns, and crashes (GPU timeout) due to shuffling data between storage and VRAM. |
| RAM | Can comfortably use 32GB of RAM; 64GB may be necessary for edge cases. |
| Network | Typically don't need above 50 Mbps, besides for update downloading. Latency to other users impacts multiuser experience but shouldn't directly affect simulation performance. |
| Storage | Storage read speed matters for avoiding hitches while moving around a planet. Random I/O matters for compile and general use performance. |
NOTE: We are not yet releasing STPro (even just the Compute_Server portion) for platforms besides Windows. We have Linux and MacOS working internally; please post an Issue if you would like to request a release on a different OS or CPU architecture (without the graphics / interaction client; only Compute_Server / Python API).

| Operating System | Windows 10 or 11, Linux (WIP), MacOS (WIP) |
| CPU Architecture | x86-64, ARM64 (WIP) |
