As this is a thread from the developers, and they are releasing early access, I thought they are the most likely to know. If we buy early access and then find out our PC can't run it then that could be a difficulty. So if a a developer checks this thread and could give us a general idea, that would be helpful.

Check the steam page, that may have been updated. Edit: But to be honest, they’re not going to offer a “general idea”. If they’re wrong and understate, they’re getting yelled at because “You lied and said my machine can run it”. If they overstate, “You lied and said my machine couldn’t run it and I spent $800 on new parts!” They’ll probably wait till closer to release date to say anything specific like that. It’s hard to tell without even them knowing what the EA game will be like exactly. Edited October 21, 2022 by Gargamel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me Speaking as an indie dev - While I can't literally show you, multiplayer is one of those critical foundational things, and likely why the whole thing took so long to get to just this state. To put it simply, if multiplayer foundations were not already implemented, then they would never be implemented. Its not the sort of thing you can just hammer down in at the end of development. Either its in there, or they're blatantly lying to our face through their teeth. As for why its not on day one, multiplayer is also one of those things that tends to generate its own wealth of novel bugs that tend to look like something else is broken. Keeping it out of our hands while the major features come into play helps ensure the bugs they're fixing are actually for the major features.

Sentient Mop Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 I'm really happy that we're getting early access. Even more so that they are deciding to actually finish features being put out. One big issue a lot of games have is too early access and just releasing things as soon as they're written. Flushing it out and releasing will definetly make people happy and provide the best experience overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DwightLee Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 They can put me down for a copy the moment early access can be pre-ordered. This is exactly the right way to launch this kind of title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, extra star systems are pretty independent of the rest of the game. But the hidden feature is weird, as its not something they would hide.

I amended my response above to preemptively respond to that comment It would be nice to know, but in don’t think we’re going hear anything till the date is closer.

Show me Back in 2019-2020 during a @ShadowZone (I think it was?) with Nate Simpson, he mentioned something along the lines of "We've been trying multiplayer internally and I've never seen anyone laugh so loudly". ShadowZone might be able to correct that quote word by word, but all in all goes to say that their internal builds already have most of those features already implemented, just not in a release-ready state. Yo are just acting like they are scamming people by promising things that will never come, when it's a fact that they are not. This is not Star Citizen, or any of the trillions of Early Access survival games that scammed people by paying youtubers like FrankieOnPc back in the day. Matt Lowne already said in his video that during his talk with Nate, he mentioned Early Access won't be pre-Alpha, or Alpha, or Beta, so we can take from that that they are literally using the Early Access program as it was meant to-- A pre-release access for the community to shape the bigger features of the game by providing feedback. There is a huge dev team in KSP2 compared to what Squad was during most of KSP1's life, so it's likely that their workflow and update schedule will be much smoother and faster than what we got used to back in the day. But in short, yes, multiplayer being on the works internally for a very long time is a known fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farelinho Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 This is great news! I play KSP1 on Steam-Linux, using Proton for compatibility. If it works, I'm definitely in for Early Acess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe even interact at the same time, where pilot gets control over thrust and attitude, scientist over experiments and engineer over ship systems etc. Just imagine being able to recreate Apollo with some friends and work together to make a succesful mission This is an excellent idea.

MARL_Mk1 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Regarding requirements, I'm really hoping I can play KSP2 in any way better than KSP1. My current hardware is modest to say the least i7 7700 1060 6gb 16gb DDR4 But it can run KSP1 perfectly (unless I hyper-mod it with trillions of parts, hyperrealistic visuals and all that).

Ivy Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Am I jumping to conclusions here or is this Wal from OPM? It has the distinctive pinched shape, looks like it's orbiting a parent body, and has a moon of its own. Very cool!

MechBFP Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Huh, well I can definitely say this is not what I was expecting at all lol. I have to say I am feeling rather ambivalent regarding this news mostly because of were the game is going to be at starting at in Feb 2023 with colonies and interstellar missing. There are much, much, much worse ways this situation could have been handled by the publishers, as we all know, so given the situation the developers are obviously in I suppose I won't complain too much about it.

PDCWolf Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Bruh 3 years of delay to release in to Early Access . [snip] Let's hope the EA cycle of this release goes much better than the previous, and devs don't actively work against the community. Honestly best wishes, not sure I'll join the EA if you still plan to charge full price for it. Edited October 21, 2022 by 18Watt Edited by the Moderation Team for content.

bartekkru99 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Although the little snippets of the new features we've seen so far is somewhat reassuring, their absence in the initial EA release really worries me. I hope all of that is somewhat finished and just needs polish before it's released to the public. I've also noticed that the graphics aspect of the game is somewhat of a downgrade compared to the modded KSP1 with Parallax and Scatterer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darsie Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Can you please say Windows when you mean Windows? I have a PC running Linux and saying "The game will be available on PC only during Early Access," is confusing when you later say "Will Mac or Linux versions come out in Early Access? These versions are part of our extended roadmap. We’ll share more information at a later date." If you need to distinguish PC/Windows from washing machine/Windows for legal reasons, by all means, say PC/Windows. Heartbroken, darsie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here I agree, also the elephant in the room is multiplayer and time warp. I see two ways to solve this the simplest is: time warp is universal, all has to agree on it and set the alarm to end it. An much more advanced version will do some sort of catch up system to sync time between players. Say you collect science on Minmus while he sends an base to Minmus. You do little time warp but need to time warp 8 days forward to match his time. Its then probably common time warp while you land at the base. However that should imply that multiplayer with timewarp disabled should be much easier outside of the multiplayer part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im personally most excited for colonies and resources which also wont be complete for a while, but having the chance to play and give feedback on all that as its being developed is completely my jam.
