SPH collapsing cloud has nothing in it

When I unpause though, it lags like crazy.

...SPH collapsing cloud has nothing in it When I unpause though, it lags like crazy.

That scenario doesn't run on some video cards (What video card are you running smjjames?) and is very experimental....
When SPH is up and running (properly) it will be announced loud and clear.

My son is a big fan of UNIVERSAL SANDBOX and would love to be a tester for UNIVERSAL SANDBOX 2.
What's the process on becoming a tester?

The Alpha test sign up is closed and we're not accepting any more right now. We'll begin taking pre-orders in a few months that will give you early access to the latest version of the new version of Universe Sandbox.

There's no set release date yet, so we don't know yet, we can only guess.

Yeah... they're finally getting there. With time, they'll become even better.

This, is, amazing. Best collisions I have seen out of a game. Keep up the amazing work Giant Army!
On the other hand, it seems as if the alpha is running slower on this computer. (It's a temporary computer for my broken one, same model and build)

I think that this alpha feels a lot more heavy on my computer, which is maybe why it's running a bit slower overall.

I think most of the bugs have already been reported, like the gravity issue. I will see if there are more.

When's the next signup?!

Or does it have to be only one sign up?

Dan Dixon, maybe if you finish the new universe sandbox , you maybe can help some guys that are making a game called " the universim", you can do it?
