@Beau-Rarig U-22 Great Scott Presents Matrix Systems 2012

@Beau-Rarig oh sorry, I'll go with the U-22 Great Scott!

@Beau-Rarig what's the plan with this many drivers registered? Tough to fit everyone in one server. Not sure if the server can even handle that many. It's capped at 20 right now.

@TyEchols Fanatec has some good wheels too, but they can be a bit pricey https://www.fanatec.com/us-en/. I have one of their older wheels that is discontinued now, but works really well.

@TyEchols System requirements are sort of difficult to figure out. I can only test the game on hardware that I own.

The game runs well on my computer, I can generally get above 100fps.

My main system specs are:

Windows
Intel i7 3930k (High end 7 year old CPU)
Radeon R9 290
32gb ram

The performance on Mac will be worse than Windows or Linux due to OpenGL driver support. I also do not own a Mac, so most of my testing is on Windows and Linux.

From what I can tell, the most important thing for the game to run well is a good GPU.

I've only briefly tested on Mac, most of the time I can't seem to get the water to show up at all. I have found that MacBook's tend to run extremely high screen resolutions which will negatively impact the performance of the game. I run 1920x1080 on my computer, I'd recommend setting the game's resolution to that or even lower to help with performance.
