The hardware requirements for running the emulator vary depending on your current configuration. We have listed the minimum and recommend hardware requirements below. For the best experience, users should be running within the recommended requirements. We cannot guarantee the performance of system specifications below the recommended requirements but you're always welcome to experiment.
AMD - 6 cores and 12 threads, 8 cores or more
AMD Zen 2 architecture or newerIntel - 6 cores and 12 threads, 8 cores or more
Intel Skylake architecture or newerAMD - Vulkan compatible with active driver support
AMD Polaris architecture, RX 400 series or newerNVIDIA - Vulkan compatible with active driver support
NVIDIA Maxwell architecture, GTX 900 series or newer8 GB of dual-channel RAM or more
Dual-channel memory is highly recommended over single-channelSSD storage for emulator data, SSD or HDD storage for games

We recommend using a laptop equipped with an 8-core/16-thread 35W+ H-series CPU such as an Intel Core i7-10870H or an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, as well as having a compatible dedicated GPU (dGPU) with Vulkan compatibility. While being a tall order, this is the ideal spec and we cannot guarantee even remotely good performance with laptops equipped with as little as 4-cores.
We strongly recommend using Nox and Satrtrek Fleet Command Bot with a desktop PC over a laptop. Should you want to use a laptop, these are the hardware requirements for an optimal experience.
The software requirements for running the Star Trek Fleet Command Bot(STFCBot) must be met in order for the software to function at all.
Please note - A 64-bit operating system is required. Windows 7 SP1, 8, 10 and 11 are supported as well as Linux and FreeBSD.
