This is the bulk of network activity and can take a while. Once downloaded, the game does not take much network to run. In terms of PC performance, BYOND itself is mostly just a front-end to the game with very little work being done on it, so you should be able to run SS13 on essentially any computer made in this millennium. It is, however, very resource intensive on the server side, generally requiring a full modern CPU core to itself. This is, however, only important if you wish to run your own server. See this thread for more help on the connecting issue: [https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3678&p=90057#p90040 Unable to Connect]. Make a post if you aren't able to connect. | ||
