Will have to check this out, thank you!I haven't heard anything official about patches beyond the initial statement BGS made about adding an FOV slider, DLSS, etc. but the first release of the community patch just came out.
Starfield Community Patch
A community-driven mod fixing bugs, errors and inconsistencies in Starfield. This project aims to make the game better for everyone by offering up fixes in a free and collaborative manner.www.nexusmods.com
I played for about 100 hours on PC and the game crashed only a few times, no more than any other game, it felt. I always used the most recent graphics driver, so make sure that you're updated. Also, I used one of the performance mods... this one, I think. It may reduce the stuttering, if not also the crashing. In fact, if you're already using any mods, you might try removing them and even re-installing the game, just in case one of them is causing your crashing. This is especially true if the mods use SFSE or some other loader.
Will give it a shot, thanks. The game just pings my CPU. Probably a sign that it's time to put an upgrade on the list.
I forgot where and when it popped up but it shows up in the mission list as "answer distress signal.
Yes I did both. Juno’s gambit was a cool mission. The crucible missions may have been my favorite in the game. I never got the distress signal I just stumbled on the planet while exploring. Such a fun surprise considering most planets I found we’re hardly worth exploring.
It was playable, but it def wasn't up to a standard I wanted to play at 1440p/high getting below 60 fps at points, and wanted DLSS integration. It absolutely could have been optimized better than it was, especially for Nvidia GPUs. I guess it varies on how much you wanted to play it at launch, what settings and what you were willing to wait for.
$1200 gets you a PS5 and XSX. You don't have to fiddle with hardware swaps for 7 or so years after that initial purchase. Just sayin'
This game runs at 30 FPS on consoles. 30 FPS is not acceptable to most PC gamers. If it was, they wouldn't buy a console, they would just lock the game to 30 FPS.
I have a PS5 and a Switch Oled along with my PC. No chance I was buying a 3rd console. I'd rather have my PC for Microsoft exclusives and use it for most 3rd party titles as long as companies don't butcher ports or at least plan to optimize a game before release. My PC will run the game better than a Series X will. This game got kneecapped at launch for Nvidia users because of AMD sponsoring it, which is a terrible practice (which Microsoft never should have agreed to).
PC gamers don't have to upgrade more often. Many are still using 7-year-old hardware, older than even the PS5 and XSX have. Many others choose to upgrade more often, though, because they can. They're willing to pay to get things like higher framerates and image quality. They also often enjoy fiddling with hardware and software. Building, upgrading and maintaining PCs is a hobby unto itself. It's similar to how car enthusiasts like to tinker with and upgrade cars to get more performance and features than they came with. Telling a PC enthusiast to just buy a console is like telling a car enthusiast to just keep a car in stock factory condition. It misses the fact that it's a hobby. For people who don't enjoy fiddling with hardware and software, though, consoles are probably more suitable, you're right.
Yeah, it's an enthusiast hobby for a lot of people such as cars or even audio where you are chasing the best possible quality available. As someone who recently got into it, while expensive and frustrating on a first build, it is rewarding building a PC and chasing better performance. Probably not cost-efficient (atleast in my case). Granted, Steam sales and not paying for stuff like PS Plus or X-Box Live do save money if you are big into multiplayer games do knock some of that down. There is definitely a culture around PC building which has grown in recent years.
Havent been paying attention to how the game is going but seems like the game was a complete letdown by most just looking around online now.
Oh and this is just such a sad response by a developer to defend the empty and boring planets:
Many of the games I enjoy most are not console games, or are best played on PC (ex. Total Wars, Civ, etc.). Plus I find it much easier to tweak and mod games on PC.
