Edit:

The site doesn't give the option to mark as self solved. Anyway here is the New Engine requirements.
The only dependencies are those included in the installer:

.NET 4.7.2
Visual C++ Redistributable
DirectX 11





As some of you may or may not be aware of the problems people have with getting the first game running. The first game "Requires Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer". Which rules out pretty much everyone concerned about keeping their PC safe from exploits.

My question is:

Does Distant Worlds 2 require anything of this nature, NOT listed in the game requirements?
Anyone who know, it would be greatly appreciated.

That's actually a very good question. I don't use any of those two period, I will say that it might be used for their galactopedia thing. that might be why it requires IE. Lets see what happens when it comes out.

While I did mention anything NOT already mentioned. I appreciate the first game caveat information.

I really hope they are planning on keeping the game simple and not adding anything after the fact. But I supposed a few more days and we will see. I believe they mention the 10th of March for release.

In any event, the question is still open if anyone has any pertinent information regarding my original question.

Thank you.

Opened a support question directly with Slitherine and to my surprise they answered:

The only dependencies are those included in the installer:

.NET 4.7.2
Visual C++ Redistributable
DirectX 11


So there we are then. Guess I'll check it out and I hope anyone else interested will get it as well. I would make this in the Distant Worlds 2 section. But it doesn't exist yet, it redirects to the common area.
