Is it only me?
If you think flying through space is thrilling, imagine how thrilling it is to forget to save for the past half an hour and see that load symbol slowly start to freeze because you walked into a shop… …
Adding a pic of the merch I got today at least.
I haven’t had any issues. I had my first momentary freeze yesterday but then it unfroze within 15 seconds.
Is this on Xbox? Do you know approx how long into the game you are? I had great runs early in the game, it isn’t until 48 hours in I think I started having issues.
I play on Xbox and PC. No issues on either and my PC play is loaded with mods.
Hmmm.
I wonder if you two guys are using Xbox versions with different amounts of memory, since Microsoft is doing this “high/low” model for consoles.
My PC hasn’t seen stability issues with Starfield, but it’s high-spec: has 24GB VRAM, 128GB RAM, running off NVMe, and a high-end CPU.
A response to me says that someone is seeing a bunch of stability problems. They said that they were running it on a PC below minimum required specifications.
An XBox Series S has 10GB of combined VRAM/main memory and an XBox Series X has 16 GB. That’s a a substantial difference between the two versions.
I haven’t played it at all (at least yet) but is it possible that this may be an issue with the Series S and not the Series X?
I think that may be the case, I’m on the s and it started happening on like 48hrs in, noticed it gets better if I delete my older saves too. So probably related to the limited hardware.
I do think there must be some memory leak involved though, and seems to be worse when Xbox uses its “suspend” mode.
I must know: did the sandwich come pre-bitten?
Lol YES! I really hope it was just a cut out since I had the sandwich for lunch. But yeah it came with the bite out of it.
Todd Howard has personally taken a bite out of every sandwich that goes out the door.
I know it’s not the same but I’ve actually been very impressed on the PC version even with a bunch of mods I’ve only had one crash so far after about 40 hours of gameplay
I’ve only had 1 crash in several weeks on the Steam Deck.
I had 0, but I stopped trying to play it the first time I went to Akila City and it was a blurry mess at 7-10fps. Has this improved at all?
I’ve always used the Steam Deck Essentials (All Handhelds) mod. It’s playable everywhere I’ve been. I can’t remember exactly but it’s maybe 25-30 fps in Akila. It stays at 40 fps in a lot of places. Just don’t expect HD graphics, but at least I’m not tied to my computer at the desk.
You get 3 hours?
When I actually play I make a habit of hitting f5 before big transitions or literally anything related to the lodge.
It’s been fine on my PC. Actually, come to think of it, that’s a little odd. I have a new PC, and I was definitely running the memory faster than the system could handle, would occasionally get errors until I cut the speed. But there’s still something causing Firefox – normally rock solid – to die frequently, and some other freezes have shown up. Starfield, which one would expect to stress the memory, CPU, and GPU more than anything else I’ve been running, has been fine. And I’ve been playing a bunch of Starfield.
In fact, I’ve only seen two issues out of Starfield that I can recall.
The first has occasionally been some outpost stations not letting me use them, saying that they’re obstructed. That goes away if I quicksave and load.
The other issue has been occasionally some body textures on followers becoming invisible. This is usually one or both eyes, which is disconcerting as hell, because I’m talking to Sarah Morgan or someone and she’s got these dead sockets looking at me.
The other variant I’ve seen is most of the body, including the face, being invisible and only the eye textures showing up, so that there are two floating eyeballs looking at me and no face. Which is kind of disconcerting too.
Haven’t had stability problems, though. When they said that this was Bethesda’s most bug-free game release, they were right.
EDIT: Well, okay, this is on a PC. I can’t speak as to the Xbox release.
Hahaha i have been getting one missing eye on Sarah and a few others in conversation. I figured it was perhaps a nod that a need for eye patches are in order.
