Bit of fiddling with the control settings required, otherwise seemed smooth during a short test-play.
Official layout did not work for assigning abilities to buttons, Had to switch to Gamepad with joystick trackpad. Also had to set "non-steam gamepad" in ingame settings.
Game gives an error on loading a character about too small resolution to open keybind interface or some such. After the aforementioned changes, you can assign abilities ingame by pressing select to invoke inventory, then selecting the skills window, and pressing Y.
Game seemed mostly playable from a 2 hour test, but FPS sometimes are far lower than expected.
Microwarpdrive effect around the ship sometimes flickers.
Went down to 15ish FPS during some of the tutorial (dauntless) areas.
Game presents a GPU capability screen on launching it, claiming my GPU does not support some shadow rendering. Game still ran without issue, aside from FPS.
Mileage might vary, but i find black squares instead of cursors unenjoyable.
Mouse cursor / crosshair were a strange black square. In action cam, the square was covering the crosshairs, though on fast turns you can see the crosshair. Turning via right click in rpg cam also had a black square.
Setting contents of "player.ini" in game directory to "FullWindow=1" loads the game in fullscreen window, enabling alt-tabbing again.
Only briefly tested character creation, walking around for a few minutes, not long-term stability. Initial load times are very high, but according to a dev, that is also a problem on windows.
