Dasnap, do games w Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield
@Dasnap@lemmy.world avatar

I’d assume an issue possibly at the engine level isn’t something that a mod can fix?

The end of the article seems to say as much. However, it seems the Vkd3d developers are trying to improve what they can.

Vilian,

if it run better on linux because of that i’m gonna laugh so much

That did happen with Elden Ring. Valve found an issue with it and patched it for Vulkan, so it ran better on Steam Deck than Windows.

cybersandwich,

I had a single crash playing starfield on PopOS. Other than that, it’s been incredibly performant for me. Ryzen 5700x and 6700xt GPU

vagrantprodigy,

I’ve got nearly the same specs (5800x and 6700XT), and mine crashes fairly often.

I've had not a single crash so far and most of my frame dipping issues (from 60 to 40) were solved by lowering the shadows to medium. The only bugs I had were ships spawning in other ships so they spaz out, but that's very rare. On the other hand, Baldurs Gate 3 would constantly drop to 10 FPS and I had severe bugs that locked me out of entire questlines.

But I guess I'm not allowed to enjoy games and have fun because gamebryo = bad

I’m on a 7600x + 6600XT, and the only crash I’ve ever had was yesterday when loading a save. Also running Pop.

pycorax,

I mean, you could run VKD3D on Windows too to get the improvements.

Weylandyuta, do games w Open source community figures out problems with performance in Starfield

I wonder if this has anything to do with not being able to load my saves. I went to mars and exited the game after a long gaming session. Came back the next day and I get a full system crash upon trying to load the exit save. Tried the autosaves, same deal. Tried my last normal save, same deal. Every once in about 5-6 full system crashes I can reload one of the saves from just landing on mars but if I try to enter caledonia then it’s a full system crash. It’s weird too, I can still hear the game running in a loop but I can tell there is no input and the graphics fully fail. Very frustrating. I finally got back to my main rig to be able to play and the game has just been straight not playable since about the day after it came out. Can’t even get a hotfix from Bethesda. Bummer. I’ll just have to wait to play it again. I’m not going to restart a new character just to run into the same thing.

Callendor,

The crash on loading has bricked two of my characters now. I don’t think I can be bothered again till they patch. One bricked in mars, the second bricked before I made it there. Waste io many hours.

Weylandyuta,

That’s where I’m at. I’m excited to be able to play again but I have to wait for however long it takes them to release a patch addressing this. I’m not mad about anything I’ve seen. But I literally can’t play a game that I can’t trust to save and be reloaded.

Damage,

Well that’s a truly horrible experience… I think it warrants a refund

Weylandyuta,

Normally, I’d fully recommend that but I still want to play the game. I was actually really enjoying myself. I’ll just wait until they actually issue a patch. I’m a little shocked not even one hotfix has gone out.

Silverseren,

Why do you assume they're going to issue a patch?

Weylandyuta,

They patched Skyrim, fallout 4 and 76. They are a big enough studio that I have no reason to believe they’d just release it and move on. I’m not talking about changing what the game is. I’m just talking about technical patches to do some bug fixing.

circuitfarmer,
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Are you playing on PC/Steam? Something weird happened to me yesterday where an exit save wouldn’t load. Upon trying an earlier save, I found none would load (game crashed to desktop when selecting). I could not figure it out.

On a whim I verified files in Steam, which triggered a 30 MB update. After verification, my exit save worked fine. I’m at a loss for why core files would change.

Weylandyuta,

Yup, steam with a Ryzen 5600x and rx 6800xt. I’ve tried verifying the game files a couple times. I’ll give it another go in a bit. I’d love for there to be a change but I think I’m in that weird category that should work fine but it’s just borked. The game ran great otherwise. Just trying to load saves and on the one attempt that actually works if I try to enter Caledonia it’s an automatic I have to reboot my system.

jakobb,

I had the same problem, this vkd3d update fixed it. But had to run it with lutris where i can select the vkd3d version manually.

@Ginkko117@kbin.social avatar

For some reason I had terrible FPS drops in the original Cyberpunk from time to time - had to reload the game every half an hour or hour to restore FPS. If that would be fixed - I'm in. Liked the game otherwise, so all I need is some new quests, which PL should provide

I am so excited for the last leg of mods for this game post 2.0. 2077 modded with a handful of realism tweaks was my go-to game all of last year

JelloBrains, do gaming w Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 detailed: what's free, what's not?
@JelloBrains@kbin.social avatar

I played the game at the beginning of the year, it was OK, I'm glad I missed it at its worst. But, I don't think I will buy the DLC, maybe if it gets a significant discount for one of the Holiday Sales.

That being said, 2.0 sounds like it's going to fix the game in a lot of ways, basically making the game what it should have been from the start, I might start a new game if the reviews of the 2.0 system are really good.

whataboutshutup,

1.0 is promises fulfilled, 2.0 sounds like something on a level of a new entry (or a big advertising exaggeration). We’d see.

Kaldo,
@Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

That sounds like the smart option tbh, I am still not convinced 2.0 will address my biggest issues with the game like gear progression and inventory. Not really sold on the skill rework either, looks kinda as boring as before. Maybe I get the dlc eventually but there's no rush - it's not like they are making more dlcs for the game and need the money, and the sequel is already confirmed anyway.

I really wanted it to be great but for every high the game hit for me, it had double the amount of lows. I can't really be bothered to get hyped anymore for it.

RightHandOfIkaros, do xbox w Alone in the Dark reboot delayed to avoid competing with October rush of games  – Destructoid

I hate this trend. I dont really care about the game itself, I just hate this thing that publishers do when they delay a game purely because they want to min-max sales.

Another way to look at it is to say that if it comes out and gets absolutely killed then you’ll likely never see a sequel, regardless of how good a game it is. Look at Titanfall 2.

The whole purpose of developing games is to maximise profit. Game developers are not charities.

They definitely aren’t the best looking controllers. Fans of the game may love’em though!

@GreenAlex@kbin.social avatar

I feel like I'm in some crazy minority here, thinking that none of these competitors are even worth considering without trackpads and back buttons. Handheld PCs just don't work without them.

kherge,

The new players have to learn the hard way why the Steam Deck was successful.

Lenovo’s machine will run on Windows 11 as opposed to it being a Linux-based system.

No thanks. I want less Microsoft in my life, not more.

(Also, I would rather give my money to Valve than Lenovo.)

oo1,

i wish you were in charge of IT procurement for my employer.

I don’t see any issue having individual post for each review (article).

This is big gaming news, so it makes sense to have more posts.

Kaldo, do gaming w Review: Starfield
@Kaldo@kbin.social avatar

We're going to have a lot of these, we should probably setup a review megathread or something? Does this magazine even have mods btw? :D

I really hope it turns out well. Fallout/Skyrim with spaceships is basically my dream game and if this can live up to it even half way through, it's still going to be better than any other attempt at it in the last decade (looking at you SC, NMS, ED, X4).

I'm still gonna give it at least 6 months before getting it though, maybe by then we get some substantial patches or (UI) mods as well. I still have some other big games in the backlog so I'm in no rush, after all I've been waiting a while for sth like this ^^
