KSA refuses to load after passing the startup menu, even after waiting for minutes to load

[Profiremu23]

Hello everyone! I have attempted to load KSA public pre-alpha for the first time(s) with no success achieved so far to actually load and play the game.

I used the most minimum graphics settings possible, and I still cannot load the game, even after selecting "Earth Only" from the System Selection screen. I have waited for minutes, and I still cannot pass the "Planet Rendering" part of the loading screen.

I have the latest log included as a .txt file.

My system specifics are the following:
OS Name: Microsoft Windows 10 Home
System Type: x64-based PC
Processor: Intel Pentium CPU G4560 @ 3.50GHz
Total Physical Memory: 8 159 MB
Virtual Memory: Max Size: 18 390 MB
Graphics Card: "Radeon (TM) RX 480 Graphics"

What I have experienced from the Task Manager, is that my memory usage was sitting at 96%+ of the total RAM, while the usage of the graphics card was 0 percent for the whole time. The processor had around 40% VRAM usage on average, but it fell to nearly nothing after a few minutes.

I would thank anyone who can point out the potential issues I am experiencing!

Feel like this is hardware being far underspec for the task of running the alpha version of KSA as of right now.

KSA runs with around 4.4gb of ram, 4-5gb of VRAM on not absolute min settings at 1080p, and needs a decently good CPU, from what it seems, at least first gen ryzen 4 cores~..

From what i understand as well is that it doesn't run well with AMD GPU's and there is limited success from it running at all on hardware from AMD as of right now, let alone this low in totality.


The lowest specs i know that worked before really the public release was first gen Ryzen with a 1050ti~ with 16gb of RAM. and that was some time ago.

i assume its a mix of both the CPU/RAM limitations however, with limited knowledge of RX 470-590 family i could assume with that it is also causing issues.

• Try with 16gb of RAM if possible.

there is many tiers its the entire pc, without sounding like a crazy person..

KSA stops here at "Planet Render" ... at least for 2 minutes, then I stop the process. AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT current driver ( 24.3.1 2024/03/13 )

Also Radeon graphics card !
-------------
Update: I have to wait a little bit longer (~3min) then it starts! Using maximum resolution now. Great

try to wait longer, approx. for 5minutes, perhaps that will help
