    Hello, after years of fights and quests... I'd like to ask what are the minimun requirements in order to play the game with high settings in 2D version.

    In the 3D mode i have almost no lags, but in 2D i'm having lags with the "good" settings,
    that's why all my videos in 2D have just the ship "high" and no backgrounds xD

    -greetz, space

    Generally 2D will be more taxing on your PC than 3D will be because of the limitation of flash. The 3D mode allows you PC to use it's GPU to help with running the game for quite a few things, reducing the load on the CPU, however 2D is much more limited on what the GPU can access so the CPU has to do a lot more work. So if you don't have a really good CPU the 2D mode can lag, especially when there are lots of players on the screen fighting.

    There are no real minimum requirements for 2D to guarantee a high FPS on max settings, at least not that I can find. I have a i5 4690K 3.5GHz and would regularly drop from 60fps to mid 30s in big fights on 2D.
