While Fallout 76 was definitely worse, I feel like their hubris is still on full display in Starfield. So many issues that Bethesda seems fine ignoring because the community can fix it.

I wanted to love you, Starfield, but I was out by the third date. I’ll check back in a year or two and see if you’ve matured enough.

I really just can‘t tolerate how poorly it runs compared to how it looks. They‘d have to double the framerate somehow for me to buy it and that‘s pretty much impossible.

Any chance you’re on an Nvidia card perhaps? It was shipped with only AMD upscaling because for some stupid reason it’s an industry standard to ship with time limited exclusivity for some stuff like that.

I’ve found that the mod (and probably update in the future) to add Nvidia DLSS helps a lot.

Still dumb that behind door deals between executives/sales can hinder otherwise good games like this though.

You mean the AMD upscaling that works on any companies hardware?

There’s plenty to complain about but if it’s going to support one solution, it should be the one that works for Nvidia and Intel too.

I am and I am using a DLSS mod and it‘s working. But getting to a stable 60 in Starfield is just… If it looked like Cyberpunk raytraced then I‘d get it, but it really does not look like it should be a heavy hitter. I smell technical failings.

New Vegas came out in 2010, when loading screens were a necessity.
