Hi,

I asked this question already a while ago and did get an answer, that the game should run 'fine' on my machine, but now that Universe is out and I seem to remember a post where someone (a dev?) talked about further performance improvements in Universe I'd like to ask this again - to see if anything has changed with regard to the question and answer - Thanks for your understanding, but I want to be sure before shelling out money :)

It should run fine, better at the smaller galaxy sizes.

Regards,

I have played all versions of DW on several notebooks over the years with no problems. This includes Universe.

I can run the game just fine on my cheap, small laptop (13"). I have not used it much for that though, and it could potentially struggle on larger galaxies, but even small, cheap laptops have decent power these days.

I prefer to run it at my desktop, as the bigger screen and higher resolution give more space on the map.

I do have a nvidia graphics chip, though, but I doubt that matters much, the game is 2D.

Universe should perform better, not worse, than any predecessor.
