The Initial Frustration: Jumping In

The Great Uncertainty – What do you do first?

So, how do you actually start? The sheer amount of download options throws you into an anxious spiral. Where do you start unpacking the game?

• Do you even need the launcher?
• Will this get me to space?

Trying to figure it out was the hardest part, maybe you relate, that's human, right?

Tips to make a great first impression : (first part of this journey!)

Step 1: Have the Latest Software on Hand,
Make sure all your Windows and hardware driver updates. Sometimes, it all matters! This, my friend, avoids future head-scratchers down the line.

Step 2: A Bigger Storage Tank
Plenty of disk space; more is usually better here. This lets you be free, it lets the installation succeed. The process feels so easy, without any stress from limited space on your disk.

Step 3: Calm, Cool and Collective! (Important!)
Sometimes you've got to back up. If a part crashes early, maybe a total system reboot? Try the easy solutions first before resorting to more serious methods, otherwise the experience turns sour.

Step 4: Test your internet connection : This feels obvious, right? Sometimes a weak link is behind everything. Make sure you have a solid Wi-Fi network in play! Your installation should go more efficiently.

The Installer – Review

Okay, moving on, how good is the installer in the first place? It's definitely complex. Maybe better than most, I am thinking… Maybe!
It felt kinda complicated, but I did get it finally! It is possible with clear steps and easy to understand help messages and guides.

(Side Note: This complexity does feel more difficult for users like me who are new to English)*
