Hello there

First, congratulations on your game, I really enjoy the concept and the final goals look amazing!

I purchased the game because your "minimal requirements" were much below what I had.
You ask for Mac OSX 10.11, I use 10.13.6
You ask for a 1GHz processor, I have 3.06GHz (though it's a Core 2 Duo)
You ask for 2 GB of Ram, I have 12Gb
I also have an ATI Radeon HD 4670 (256Mb)

So I imagined it should run smoothly. To my surprise, the game was completely laggy and unplayable. Even the menu is hard to navigate through. I place my mouse cursor at one of the buttons and that blue laser pointer-thingy takes a long while to reach it, and I can't click before it does. Every transition between screens is also extremely slow and choppy.

Is there any way of helping me enjoy your game?

A bit disappointed too, I have the same issue... the game is not playable on my computer.
My mac is on 10.11.6
i7 proc 2.7GHz
8G of ram
and Intel HD graphics 3000 512Mo

Everything is super slow and I can't play at it on my mac :(
I thought it wasn't too much for my computer. Is this a optimisation issue you're going to fix ? will you put graphic settings we could put in low ?

i'm on a pc and also experiencing a very similar problem.

Win 10
3Ghz AMD Dual Core
8GB RAM
Nvidia 730GT 1GB VRAM

Love, love, love this game, though. Very smart design.

Hi all! Sorry to hear you're having trouble running the game, and apologies again for the delayed response here. I'm V2Blast, the Community Manager for Nova Drift.
Could you check the Troubleshooting thread on our Steam forum page, and let us know whether any of the suggested solutions there solve the issues you're experiencing?

For slowdowns on Mac OS X in particular, as mentioned in this linked Steam forum thread, switching to the "legacy OSX" branch might solve the issue... But I'm not familiar with the GOG version myself, so I'm unable to verify if that's possible in GOG (I know it's possible in Steam.

If neither of those threads, solves your issue, please don't hesitate to reach out to Chimeric (the developer) directly, and he will work with you to find a solution. You can email him at chimericgames@gmail.com, or join our Discord server and post in the #bugs channel. I hope we're able to work with you to resolve the issue!
