The issues are way overblown. I have a mid tier system as best (2070S 8700k) and with the DLSS mod and some performance tweaks I play on Ultra.
Comment on Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield

I’ll play in a year after most of the bug and performance issues are fixed. Which seems like my typical response to any major game release these days; just wait a few months at first.

I love Starfield and has been playing it every day since launch. It runs like dogshit. Sure it doesn’t stutter or anything but I can’t, for the life of me, get the average FPS in outdoor areas to be anything higher than 70. 5800X + 3080 Ti. It doesn’t matter how much I lower the setting, the CPU overhead is crazy.
avater@lemmy.world 1 year ago
so it does not stutter or anything and it does run on an average of 70fps outside and in taxing environments and you are describing this as dogshit?
lol.
stonedemoman@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Give it up mate, even the first rudimentary workaround more than doubled the FPS people have been getting. linustechtips.com/…/1530726-starfield-now-runs-tw…
avater@lemmy.world 1 year ago
it seems the current meta is to hate on starfield at the moment. I would suggest to keep playing and enjoying the game and not to post about it.
Stahlreck@feddit.ch 1 year ago
That is always the meta with new and popular AAA games. Especially since PS players are salty MS denied them the game there’s even more salt and a lot of tribalism hehe.
avater@lemmy.world 1 year ago
except if the game is Zeld or Elden Ring 😅, which both also ran pretty bad
CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I will wait regardless.

Try Armored Core 6, 100% worth it day one
CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Sadly not my kind of game, but thank you!

I can’t disbelieve the rocket skating and I feel lame
kilgore_trout@feddit.it 1 year ago
Armored Core VI and Baldur’s Gate III are two big recently published games that do work quite well. They stand on the shoulders of two respectable companies.
CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Yea BG3 is amazing, but I still waited at least a couple of weeks before touching it.
ObviouslyNotBanana@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Waiting is what I would do when I had to wait for allowance. I can wait now too!
AEsheron@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Even before release I figured I’d wait for a sale. Too many good games just came out I want more, big backlog of Yakuza games I recently started and got totally hooked on. Not interested in helping standardize $70 games, will wait for a sale, and by then there will be a better mod scene too. Less money for a better game, win/win.

Ah, I see your a r/patientgamers fan too =)
GONADS125@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve played it a little on Xbox since it’s on gamepass and I haven’t encountered any bugs, other than a single game crash. Is the PC release significantly worse than console?
Doesn’t feel revolutionary but I’m enjoying it. Created Amos Burton and it’s a pretty fun playthru so far.
Redditiscancer789@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’ve had 0 hard crashes but a few soft crashes since entering the final stretch of the MSQ. Sarah and Walter are stuck “talking” to each other permanently despite Sarah being in my ship and Walter the lodge. And if I try to talk to either of them the game locks up whenever it’s time for the other npc to chime in and I have to reload. I also had a random soft crash where I couldn’t enter the lodge from new Atlantis no matter what I did until I restarted the .exe(I’m thinking it’s related to the convos bug I’m experiencing). Also the weird movement bugs like someone walking away from you during a convo or crew members floating in random places in my ship. Also have a flashing texture issue for a few seconds after accessing the inventories in the armory ship habs.
Outside that I’m getting 50-70 fps with mostly high settings at 1080p.

I’m having no issues on PC either.

Plus you’ll get to see if they add all the post-launch microtransactions like games are starting to do these days.
Launch to good reviews, and THEN rebalance and force players towards transactions and paid currencies.
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Yup… dodged Diablo 4 by doing this.
Kinda sad about it though, really enjoyed Diablo II back in the day. Really miss the days when the name Blizzard meant guaranteed quality.
finthechat@kbin.social 1 year ago
The silver lining here is that now when you see Blizzard, you know to avoid it no matter what.
CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Yea, it’s maddening.
AlphaOmega@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Plus Plus you can get it on sale.

They’ll probably have Creation Club stuff, like in Skyrim and FO4, where they contract modders to create small pieces of content.
Lols@lemm.ee 1 year ago
im actively hoping they do
