A12X isn't fast enough? I call bullshit.
- ladberg 7y agoYep, this is just a bad excuse for not spending the effort to port it. I'm not saying they have to port it, but a simple "it isn't worth the money" would be better.
- hombre_fatal 7y agoThat it's not worth it is the entire implication of their FAQ answer.
- zacmps 7y agoSeems perfectly reasonable to me. The iPad Pro which seems to be the device you're referring to only has 4GB of memory which is shared with the GPU. The minimum requirements (from steam) recommend 4GB of main memory and an additional 2GB of dedicated VRAM. Clearly this is an issue. As far as compute performance goes you may be right however as it only recommends an Intel Pentium G3240 or AMD FX-4100 as minimum.
- andrepd 7y ago>very few – if any – mobile devices are powerful enough to even theoretically run SpaceEngine Am I crazy or are you literally agreeing with what you just cited? "Top-range ipad" = "Very few if any", and even that ipad is probably not enough to handle the software (as per the official minimum specs).
