How to read the table
These are the official Steam requirements observed on November 5, 2026. They are target descriptions, not a guarantee for every driver, background process, resolution, or late-game farm. Large automated farms can create a different workload from a new save.
The official table does not establish macOS or Linux support, and it does not resolve every DX11 versus DX12 troubleshooting question. If the game crashes, record the selected renderer, driver version, save location, and whether the issue reproduces on a new save before changing several settings at once.
