# 💻 System Requirements

**Below are the supported system requirement tiers and recommended configurations for running HellStreet as a player, creator (tools), event host, or operator (HSC server). Tables show practical, real-world hardware classes (minimum → recommended → high-end) across Windows / macOS / Linux.**

{% hint style="info" %}
📌 **Notes:**

* HellStreet is built to scale across desktop client (best fidelity), browser preview (lower fidelity), and mobile companion (limited features).
* “HellStreet Create” refers to the infrastructure layer (server nodes / instance hosts) — see server section.
* Disk space numbers include room for client + cache + downloaded world assets. Adjust storage for large creator asset libraries.
* Always use up-to-date GPU drivers and OS updates for best results.

<summary>A bit about WHY you need that much resources</summary>

`System Requirements (Creator Platform)`
\
`HSC is the core creation and world-building platform behind HellStreet.`
\
`Unlike the player client, HSC is used by creators, developers, and teams to design,`
\
`build, test, and publish interactive worlds.`

`Because HSC includes a visual editor, asset processing tools, real-time preview`
\
`systems, and collaboration features, it requires more system resources than standard`
\
`gameplay. Performance depends not only on the platform itself, but also on the`
\
`complexity of the worlds being created — including scene size, asset quality,`
\
`lighting, and active scripts.`

`HSC is optimized for flexibility and scalability, allowing creators to work on`
\
`anything from small social spaces to large-scale, highly interactive environments.`
\
`However, for smooth workflows — especially when working with large assets or`
\
`multi-user testing — a higher-end configuration is strongly recommended.`

`Typical Hellstreet Create usage includes:`
\
`Building and editing worlds using the visual editor;`
\
`Importing and managing assets (models, textures, animations, audio);`
\
`Running local previews and multiplayer test sessions;`
\
`Configuring monetization, metadata, and publishing settings;`
\
`Collaborating with other creators through shared projects and asset vaults;`

`While HSC is accessible on mid-range systems, professional creators and teams`
\
`are encouraged to use recommended or high-end hardware to fully utilize advanced`
\
`features and maintain stable performance during development.`

{% hint style="info" %}
Cloud streaming (GeForce NOW / AWS Gamelift / Azure PlayFab) is supported for players who prefer streaming the client. Use high-bandwidth instances and consider adaptive bitrate streaming for fluctuating networks.
{% endhint %}

#### Recommended Drivers, Middleware & Software <a href="#recommended-drivers-middleware-and-software" id="recommended-drivers-middleware-and-software"></a>

**GPU drivers:** NVIDIA GeForce Game Ready (latest stable), AMD Radeon Adrenalin (latest), Apple Studio Drivers on macOS when applicable. **Runtime / APIs:** DirectX 12 (Windows), Vulkan (Linux), Metal (macOS) — ensure latest SDKs are present. **Containers:** Docker 20.10+, Kubernetes 1.24+ for HSC deployment. **Databases & caches:** PostgreSQL 13+, Redis 6+, RabbitMQ 3.8+. **Storage:** S3-compatible object storage for large asset delivery; IPFS/Arweave for decentralized metadata archives.

#### Quick Troubleshooting Checklist (client) <a href="#quick-troubleshooting-checklist-client" id="quick-troubleshooting-checklist-client"></a>

* Update GPU drivers and OS.
* Switch to SSD / NVMe if using HDD.
* Lower in-game world and character quality (LOD) if you see stutter.
* Use wired Ethernet for events; avoid high Wi-Fi congestion.
* Clear local asset cache if textures look corrupted.
* Collect client logs and timestamps before filing a support ticket.

#### How to choose the right tier <a href="#how-to-choose-the-right-tier" id="how-to-choose-the-right-tier"></a>

**Casual player / browser user:** Browser preview on integrated GPU or minimum desktop tier. **Regular player / social hub visitor:** Recommended desktop tier (16 GB RAM, GTX 1660 / equivalent). Creator & artist: High memory (32 GB), NVMe scratch disk, GPU with 8+ GB VRAM. **Event organizer / festival:** Use HSC standard / high concurrency nodes; place nodes close to expected player regions and use autoscaling. **Enterprise / private deployment:** Consider self-hosted HSC nodes with dedicated DB clusters, private L2 relayer, and contractual SLAs.
