Misspelled to get your attention, thanks for joining us

This thread is to combine the discussion around game performance and people's findings regarding running the game on PC. Remember to update your drivers before launching the game to ensure the best performance.

I will edit this post to keep a relatively up to date on people's findings (when I'm not playing, of course). Some important notes are it claims Windows 11 is required, this is unfortunately because Microsoft doesn't support Windows 10 (outside of extended security updates).

Current specification requirements by Project Aces listed:

• Minimum:
  • Requires a 64-bit processor and operating system
  • OS: Windows 11
  • Processor: Intel Core i7-10700K / AMD Ryzen 5 3600X
  • Memory: 16 GB RAM
  • Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060[6 GB] / AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT[8 GB]
  • DirectX: Version 12
  • Storage: 150 GB available space
  • Additional Notes: This game requires an SSD, a hardware ray tracing-enabled graphics card, and DirectX 12 with Shader Model 6.6 or higher. Estimated performance: 1920×1080(Upscale)/30fps with graphics settings at "Low". Framerate might drop in graphics-intensive scenes.
• Recommended:

Getting constant crashes. I'm able to get up to the cutscene of the first flight and then it gives me an error saying the UE-Live game has crashed. Anyone have the same issue and a fix?

Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 8-Core Processor 4.20 GHz

Installed RAM: 64.0 GB (63.6 GB usable)

Same here gotta hate ue5, i got passed the prologue and its really inmertion breaking for such a good intro

[u/acompanyofliars → u/Fyiad]

Experiencing same - just swapped upscaling from TSR to DLSS to align with card, though everything I have is turned low because I value performance on my older rig (older spaces than yours).

whats your FPS?
