System Requirements

As any other software, Fyrox has its own system requirements that will provide the best user experience.

⚠️ Do not try to run the engine on virtual machines, pretty much all of them have rudimentary support for graphics APIs which won’t let you run the engine. If the editor fails to start, then it is most likely your video card does not support OpenGL 3.3+.

Minimum Requirements

The following system requirements are just the bare minimum to be able to compile and run relatively small game with simple graphics:

• CPU - at least 2 core CPU with 1.5 GHz per each core. The more is better.
• GPU - any relatively modern GPU with OpenGL 3.3+ support with at least 128 Mb of video memory.
• RAM - at least 512 Mb of RAM. The more is better.

The actual system requirements highly depend on your game.

Recommended System Configuration for Development

The following system configurations is recommended for the development process:

• CPU - 6 core CPU with 3.6 GHz per each core.
• GPU - any relatively modern GPU with OpenGL 3.3+ support with 2 Gb of video memory.
• RAM - 16 Gb of RAM.
• Monitor - 1920x1080 or higher resolution, lower resolutions may work as well.

The crucial part for the development is the CPU, the better the CPU the faster the compilation will be.

Supported Platforms

• ✅ - first-class support
• ❓ - theoretically compilable, but not tested to be runnable. See this issue for more info.
• ❌ - not supported
• ¹ - macOS suffers from bad GPU performance on Intel chipsets, M1+ works well.
• ² - the editor works only on PC, it requires rich filesystem functionality as well as decent threading support.
