So the recent version for me runs very slow, but if I play a earlier version like 0.10 it runs very smoothly, it's very annoying and I'm not sure why the recent version runs this way for me it could be my laptop but I'm not sure, I do love the game and I'd like to be able to enjoy the newer versions.

Unfortunately laptop GPUs are not supported. We'll be using a LTS version of the engine in the next update, and we will do our best to optimize, so that might help with performance issues!

i got the recent public release and got this message.

Have you tried the command line option that the error gave you? It will force the game to use openGL, but keep in mind that it will look entirely different in some places, in ways that were never intended.

Not saying this in a rude way: but I'd do that if I knew how and I don't.

Apologies, I'll do my best to explain what needs to be done.

If you're on Windows 10, you can ignore the steps that require you to press "Show More Options"

Right click on Predation.exe
Choose "Show More Options" at the bottom
Choose "Create Shortcut"
Right click on the newly created shortcut
Choose "Show More Options" at the bottom
Choose "Properties"

Here, you will see a few text fields. One of them is called "Target"

Go to the very end of the text in "Target", press space, and copy paste the following at the end:

--rendering-driver opengl3

Press Apply, then OK

Now launch the game by launching the shortcut we just created and modified!

Let me know how it goes!

Ok I actually have done this before I thought I had to do something else completely. My bad just to much going on personally, and a few specific things bothering me.
