This page contains the system requirements for the GraceEngine editor. These specifications are to be used as a guide to help users build or upgrade their computer. Please not this is only a guide, performance may vary with newer versions of GraceEngine, however performance testing will be carried out occasionally for every few patches.

Theoretically GraceEngine will compile on macOS, this has not been tested and currently we have no guide for the installation of GraceEngine on macOS.

Previous versions of Windows are untested. MSYS2 requires Windows 10 or later while VS2017 does support Windows 7 with SP1. However, we do not recommend using it due to the lack of security updates.
