Minimum recommended hardware specification:

Direct X 11
Quad Core CPU ( 4 x 2Ghz is a reasonable minimum)
4 GB System RAM (more is always better)
DX 10 hardware GPU with 1GB video ram
    Nvidia GTX 260
    ATI 4870HD
The game client works in conjunction with server-based code to deliver its functionality / experience, and therefore requires a continuous internet connection.

also adding a few pictures to the thread here. took some with the new debug camera

sorry for the double post, i don't want to include these in the changelog



my friends and i spent a lot of time bounty hunting the past couple of days. that's one of them up there in the cobra, i saw him so i snapped this picture.



the city lights added in 1.2 help in giving the planets life now. i snapped this picture of my vulture while waiting for my friend to return to our little area where we were bounty hunting from.

also, i'm thinking about starting a private group for the blockland forums. i'll be adding you all tomorrow and sending you invites, so if you'd like to fly in the company of other forumers, you can do so in case open play ain't really your thing.
