More downloads..., Available to Registered users only! |
Note: If you get an error complaining about a "missing d3dx9_31.dll" when you start StarStrider, then you need to (re-)install DirectX (NB: even though Windows Vista ships with DX10, many OEM installs of it do not include all of the required DX9 files...)
Requirements:
|
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP/Vista. |
| DirectX v9 (from October 2006 or later). |
|
3D-video card with 64MB or more memory. |
|
Intel Pentium III / AMD Athlon XP or later CPU. |
|
512 MB or more of system memory. |
Optional:
|
A pair of "3D-anaglyph glasses". |
|
A joystick (preferrably with a "twist handle" for Z-axis control). |
Limitations of the unregistered shareware version:
| 30-day trial time limit. |
| You have to restart it every 10 minutes. |
| A possibly annoying "Unregistered evaluation copy" text. |
These are for registered users only - the add-ons will not work with the unregistered version!

Download the 4096x2048 texture pack, < 11.7 MB > This optional texture pack contains some additional very high resolution textures. Note: Not all video cards can use these - we recommand at least an Nvidia GeForce FX-series or ATI X1x00-series, or later. Textures this large can also slows down the rendering a lot - so only download this if you really want it! |
|
Download the Small texture pack, < 2.1 MB > This optional texture pack allows you to use StarStrider with older video cards with as little as 8 MB of video memory. Note: This is only for very old video cards, if you have 64 MB or more video memory, then you don't need this! |
|
Download the ASCC database add-on, < 30.4 MB > This add-on contains a database of more than 2 million stars constructed mostly from the "All-Sky Compiled Catalogue". Due to its large size, please only download it if you are really interested and have a fast computer and have purchased a copy of StarStrider. |
