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.
Ah okay fair enough, I'm not super knowledgeable about the newer software sided stuff like DLSS and Upscaling. I didn't realize the AMD upscaling worked on all systems.
I saw tests where the upscaling performed comparatively worse on Nvidia and Intel rather than AMD and assumed that the upscaling was actually exclusive, my apologies.
I mean it looks awful unless on FSR quality, so in a way it’s not a super great situation. Ideally it should come out with all the solutions to better leverage the hardware at hand, but exclusivity deals and lack of technical ability are a thing.
No worries, sorry if I was a bit aggressive with my response
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.
Did he lead design all these loading screens?
whatever you do, NEVER EVER play fallout new vegas. you would hate it
New Vegas came out in 2010, when loading screens were a necessity.
but people are playing it now. dont they know its garbage? any game that doesnt have 90fps and has a loading screen is an automatic zero out of ten. its the way of gaming
Nobody plays a game from 2010 and expects it to have 2023 technological standards. Stop with the false equivalence.
oh they do. they do
If they're going out of their way to play older games, they know what they're getting into. If they don't, they'll soon learn.
