ROB RUN system requirements: the exact PC specs

These are Kefir’s own tables, copied from the Steam store listing and the official help centre. Nothing has been “translated” into a tier list, because tier lists age badly and specs do not.

What those numbers mean in practice

A 12 GB minimum is high for a game with a 1050 Ti floor, and it is the single most common reason a machine that “should run it” does not. Windows 10 alone can sit on 3–4 GB before the game loads. If you are on 8 GB, this is not a “try it and see” situation — the store says 12.

The graphics floor is similarly modern: a GTX 1050 Ti is the oldest card Kefir will name, and the recommended tier starts at an RTX 2070. That tracks with a game built around a dense city, players and vehicles rather than a corridor shooter.

Storage and patching

20 GB is the installed size figure Kefir publishes. Early Access games grow; leave headroom rather than filling the drive to the last gigabyte. An SSD will not fix network stutter, but it makes the first load and shader step noticeably shorter.

If it runs badly on a supported machine

• First launch does shader work. A long “compiling shaders” step is expected once; a permanent one is a bug — see the loading fix guide.
• Verify the game files through Steam after a crash or a failed update.
• The game is online-only in practice. A flaky connection looks like a performance problem because the client keeps resyncing.
• Turn down shadows and draw distance first. Population density and vehicles are the expensive parts of a city sandbox.
