Game Won't Load Even On Lowest Settings, So Will Try Again After Month

[Stranded]

I downloaded the public alpha around a month after release hoping that is enough time for something playable. But the game seems to get stuck loading at the planet renderer stage. Using the default settings the VRAM was approximately 4.5/7.5. Eventually just tried loading the game using only the Earth at minimum settings, but loading still stalled at apparently the same stage. The VRAM was approximately 2.5/7.5. The amount of my VRAM doesn't seem to be the problem...
Anyway, I'll be back in a month to try again. Looking forward to enjoying this game and volunteering some funds to show my appreciation for functional work.

The game is apparently not compatible with AMD graphics cards according to similar posts being showcased after I posted mine. I'm not changing my card for this game. I'll try again anyway after a month hoping that NVIDIA doesn't stay favored.

It's not a matter of the devs favoring Nvidia. In fact it's almost the other way around. According to Dean, Nvidia actually frequently provides support and communication with RW when it comes to their hardware/drivers/etc. whereas AMD has historically provided little to nothing. RW has some AMD cards for testing (Dean just got a new one for this exact purpose) but they're more or less on their own with figuring out the quirks.
