Player Survey- Lag?Lag!

[Amethyst]

Okay, so I've been getting an increasing number of reports about crashes/lag that are related to well, slow computers.

I would super-appreciate it if everyone, even people who have not experienced these issues, would answer some questions for me. Ah, let's just copy paste the below, please? c:

Also, if you've played the game on multiple computers, filling out one form per computer would be helpful.

If you're unsure how to check your computer's processing speed or RAM, check the spoiler below:

Start Menu > Right Click 'Computer' > Properties

It'll bring you to a new window; we're looking for these things:

I would be lying if I said I knew anything at all about the Mac equivalent, sorry.

Admittedly, because of the limited control I have over the platform the game is developed on, I may not be able to fix all these issues, but at the very least I can better-understand what level of computer is capable of running the game, and report System Recommendations accordingly (because tbh the ones on there are total guesses >> )

Thanks for your time!

I'll post an example below, too, since I'll be reporting my own computers.
