Poorly optimized console to pc port that runs horribly on even a high end pc.
Bethesda thinks it’s the next Crysis. As the game struggles on current PC hardware like Crysis did when it came out, except there is no huge leap in graphic quality over existing, smoothly performing games.
My man, I know how computers work, I meant that the game looks so fucking bland, that it doesn’t even deserve to be given the “Woops, your rig is too weak” treatment, because there is simply nothing interesting to look at, that would give it the right to do so.
runs fine on my windows install. 80-120 fps at ultra with a 3080. even has gold status for steam deck. dunno if poorly optimized or if you have too much installed on your pc
Pretty simply. Got you some gaming devices that want their software? Heres a background process. Browser allowed to autoupdate? Have a background process. RGB controller? Background process baybeeee. Speedfan so you can get that smooth sound when you’re gaming instead of that jet engine for a 2c bump? That’s right, here’s your process. Hell, playing in Steam? There’s multiple processes.
Did you never wonder why people that do game/hardware reviews always have a pristine desktop? Damned near everything you install now has a vampiric process to “help it run better”. Its why you can open perfmon and see IO usage when you’re sitting idle on the desktop.
Lol I have a ton of stuff installed on my system and have had very few issues playing it on a 3080ti. Reading Steam comments on performance, it seems that a fast SSD or NVME is what makes the biggest performance difference.
If you have an AMD gpu, game runs beautifully on Linux. If you have an nvidia GPU you can get bent. The 535 driver black screens the moment you try to get past the menu, 525 and below hard lock you to a gorgeous 27-31 fps with frame timings so smooth you would get a better experience chewing sand.
Its honestly funny, your steam deck will run Starfield better than my 3080 unless I boot into Windows.
Ok what did I miss?

It just looks so generic, from the footage I’ve seen color isn’t even really there, just the regular old brown and gray landscape everywhere.
If it were even graphically interesting in any way, I might be more understanding, but this really isn’t it.
The game has some nasty color filters in it that fuck everything up hard
One mod and an ini setting later and you get much better results, though still nothing amazing
Screenshots on this page help show the insane differences:

Goddamnit, it’s the Mexico filter all over again
I honestly feel like I’m playing new vegas
That is the “art direction”.
Bethesda isn’t capable of making a game as good as new Vegas.
I’m not saying you’re necessarily wrong, but I don’t think that computers struggle based on the colours lol

Yeah, it’s kinda drab in a lot of places. Which is a shame, because I really love the cassette futurism/NASApunk aesthetic.

Please tell me how the amount of stuff installed affects game performance.

God damnit Todd Howard you’re here too?
100% shill, thats why I am using windows to play Starfield because I definitely didn’t leave a “doesn’t work” report on protondb

they gave it gold status?
I mean it technically runs, but it has PS2 graphics
If you think it has ps2 graphics, your gpu might be dying
The steam deck settings give it PS2 graphics. 1280x800 15-30FPS maximum.
My 2070 Super + Ryzen 3700x are fine at Medium, 35-75FPS 1440p.
lol @ these downvotes. I’m running a 3070 with 60-120 fps on ultra/high settings. People here are even more salty than Redditors.
Yeah, my only gripe is I can’t play on linux because nvidia hates linux but that isn’t Bethesdas fault.
I kinda assumed, probably incorrectly, that if it runs on steam deck it can run on most Linux distros. Is proton not available for desktop Linux?
My steam deck runs the game okay-ish, but def wanting on the hardware. A desktop would be much more suitable

oh shit thats brutal ): hopefully that gets figured out. No one likes powerpoint simulator.
