"Never trust a man with two first names."

Three is okay tho, right?

Get a new game engine, Todd. Bethesda owns id Software. id Tech is right where.

Engines for linear first person shooters aren't necessarily good for Skyrim-scale RPGs.

Other then the hourly crashes (that I assume the video driver update I did resolved) and what I deem some terrible game design choices like shit inventory limitations, runs fine for me. I9-9900 with 1080ti sc2.

Has anyone tried it on RTX 3050 laptop?

[–] V0lD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

What upgrade to my pc would allow me to play that game at 1440p 144fps stable on high or ultra exactly?

[–] Nfntordr@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Runs fine for me 5600X, RTX 3080 @1440p high ultra settings native.

"Runs fine on my high end rig"

Thanks for telling us.

Reason why I mentioned is because I'm finding people with better specs complaining.. If we just turned the FPS counter off and enjoyed the game without needing to check if it's dipping below 60 and turned it on if we really needed it, we'd all be a bit more appreciative.

[–] Perfide@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Except it's literally not playable on my system, so I can't appreciate shit. I meet the minimum requirements, but the second I leave a building interior my fps goes from smooth as butter to unplayably choppy. This is with everything on low, and even the DLSS mod installed.

I'd accept my PC just isn't actually up to snuff if not for the fact other people with the exact same specs are saying they're playing at medium settings comfortably. The only way that makes sense is if Starfield IS, in fact, badly optimized.

Dunno, it's running fine enough to not need to enable the FPS counter.

[–] V0lD@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you don't have an FPS counter enabled by default I'm inclined to believe it's not actually fine, and that you're just not used to any refreshrate above 60

[–] Nfntordr@lemmy.world -2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, with my specs I definitely am used to and know what 60fps looks like. New Atlantis may not be 60 but it's not anywhere near a slide how either. I'm still enjoying it personally but hey, don't let my contentment get in the way of a good whinge.

[–] V0lD@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Anything below 60 on your specs should be considered unacceptable

I don't think you realise how good your specs are

Hell, I'd say the same about 120 tbh. Modern games are just unoptimised pieces of shit

[–] Nfntordr@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

I know my specs and i'm playing native, no FSR and haven't encountered any stuttering. What am I gonna do? Not play the game because it dips below 60 fps? I've been on FPS counter bandwagon and I prefer peace and simple enjoyment over FPS anxiety - for me the counter is only if/when required.
