This is a complete rework of the original Stardrive 1 game. It improves performance, stability and includes many, many, MANY new features and enhancements.

Description

Venus test builds. A lot of new user experience features have been put in. So much under the hood. So much. Memory issues are getting better. Win7 handles this much better than win10 does. Performance. Visuals. fixes. making a lot of progress here.

Is there any ideas as to why Win 10 likes BlackBox a lot less than Win 7?

Yes! Because XNA and SunBurn, SD's game engine, are ancient and crappy.
BUT! we have a partial solution.
by disabling shadows XNA will barf less and so you should be able to eek out a little more life from the game.
this is now the default for all new builds.

Latest Test build, develop_7598, has potential out of memory fixes for win10. This is just a change to the .net memory management type. Switching from server to desktop garbage collection
