stopthatgirl7Bethesda claims that the Intel ARC GPUs do not meet Starfield's PC minimum requirements
According to Bethesda Support, even the Intel Arc A770 GPU does not meet Starfield's PC minimum requirements.
EuroNutellaManI claim Bethesda’s games do not meet the minimum requirement for me to pay for them instead of plundering
paultimate14Yeah he’s very cool 2edgy4me
nd ur 2 T9 4 me.
Mr Pirate Man
I’m just waiting for the cringy pirate song comment
WodgeAre pirates the vegans of pc gaming?
No, we don’t cost you money and won’t judge you as harshly for paying for the game.
We will however tuck you in bed at night and give you a little smooch on your forehead.
rigattiVegans cost companies money? I’m confused.
No but the vegan lifestyle does cost you in terms of money and sanity.
Depends where you’re located. The UK these days is very vegan friendly almost anywhere you go.
True but in many places where the normal food is edible it’s not a given
Yeah they’re based
beefcatLeave that term for Linux gamers.
Hah, that is a good comparison. Definitely more noticeable on here than in Reddit but there seems to be at least one person on every post talking about how they pirated the game due to some perceived slight with the Dev or publisher.
If they have an issue with the dev or publisher, then they shouldn’t play it. Have some principles.
AstralJaegerOk what did I miss?
Amilo159Poorly 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.
KatzastropheIt 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.
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.
iAmTheTotI'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, but I don't think that computers struggle based on the colours lol
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.
PsychadelligoatThe 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
colonialYeah, it’s kinda drab in a lot of places. Which is a shame, because I really love the cassette futurism/NASApunk aesthetic.
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
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
Please tell me how the amount of stuff installed affects game performance.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
oh shit thats brutal ): hopefully that gets figured out. No one likes powerpoint simulator.
YoBuckStopsHereThis must be one of the worst-developed games in the last ten years. If a high-end PC can’t run it, they did a shitty job designing it, and the graphics are not great. They spent zero time optimizing it.
So, another Bethesda game?
Pretty much
But we're a decade past where that's good enough. "Another Bethesda game" at that same Bethesda quality level now is a trash game.
I’m playing on Xbox gamepass and am pretty disappointed with the graphics (glad I didn’t bother buying it on PC). The faces during dialogue look like they just upscaled obsidian slightly and slapped it in there.
I have a 3070 and it runs great. The graphics look good on ultra/high settings too. I don’t even think the 3070 is considered high end anymore
lmao okay, you keep doubting
Doubt
AKSCHULLY you cannot have fun because we former redditors decided so!!!
Just ignore them, some of these guys will claim a game sub 144 fps is unplayable, even in single player.
It does make me laugh how entitled the PCMR has become, people complaining that they can only get a game running at around 80 FPS, well beyond what’s needed for smooth gameplay, and the like.
Exactly, I’m just waiting for some delusional dude to go “omg you don’t even have a 4090?” In these comments soon, maybe call a 4080 or 4080Ti “low-end”.
Runs fine on my 3060ti also. This game is being brigaded really hard on Lemmy for some reason. It’s by no means a perfect game but I’ve been having enough fun to keep going and I’ve had zero issues running it on ultra. Like actually zero. Shrug.
Different standards I guess. I have a 5800X and 3080 Ti and I have trouble getting it to run at 90 FPS minimum outdoors.
Definitely different standards. I mean no criticism, but I in no way require 90fps minimum.
Good to know my 3060ti would be able to handle it. I’m not planning on getting it just because first person games and I do not get on well, but it’s good to know because this is what most games coming out now will be at.
Weirdly it can be third person whenever you want? I’m not trying to sell you on it. But it’s not strictly first person, which I didn’t know before starting it.
elscallrI’ve played it for 50 hours now and have yet to experience a single issue. My PC is pretty beefy but nothing special. 12th Gen Intel processor, Radeon 6950 XT GPU, 16GB memory. Pretty bog standard gaming PC.
