![[MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences!](https://cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/steam/apps/1716740/capsule_616x353.jpg?t=1692798833){kind=link}
For those who have pre-ordered it is already here, the rest have to wait a little longer. Starfield is finally here! Have you bought it, why or why not? If you’ve already played it, what do you think of it? We are very curious!
Discuss all things Starfield below!
Bought it on steam. i7 3770K. GTX 1080. Pop_os. “Whatever, it will work!”
… anybody want to donate an Xbox series X?
I saw some comment in this thread that on the Deck, someone had to set their Proton version for Starfield to Proton Experimental – newer than the current stable release version – and then it worked. Might try that on other Linux distros too.
IIRC it’s in the Properties->Compatibility dialog for a given game.
checks ProtonDB

Many entries on ProtonDB saying “switch to Experimental”. Looks like the current GloriousEggroll Proton build also works, but if you’ve never set that up, easier to just do Proton Experimental.
Works fine and selected Experimental as the default.
However vrr isn’t working on the latest Experimental so the monitor doesn’t slow down with the game.
That CPU is a little long in the tooth
Damn dude I thought my 4770 was old. Until a few months ago I had a grx770 until I cracked and found a deal on a 6800XT. So now I know what it’s like to be heavily CPU-bottlenecked .
It has somehow been fine for everything I’ve thrown at it until now. But after a decade, “it’s time to go”
A new rig with an i5 13600K and 7900XT is on the way. I’m trying to remember what game finally forced my hand at a big time upgrade last time around.
haha!
just visited my parents and could negotiate with my little brother that the drives us home so we don’t have to take the train.
poor fellow thought starfield would also release on playstation 5 so I offered him my xbox series x as a reward for the drive 😅
I’m on an i7-1165g7 and 1070 on windows. 25-30 fps at 1080p.
It’s completely GPU bound. I have a 4060 ti 16 gb in the mail. We’ll see how it plays.
