Fair warning to anyone considering Starfield. The performance of this game is absolute crap. (hexbear.net)

It runs at 30fps on all the lowest settings on a 2070 with 64gb ram and an i9-12900K.

It is quite possibly the worst performing game I have ever seen. It's a piece of crap.

Glad I didn't pay for this shit. And I will not. 🏴‍☠️ The writing and worldbuilding is probably AI and gutter tier liberal political takes anyway.

I am absolutely stunned by just how badly this thing runs like omfg I run Elden Ring at 120fps at the same resolution. What the fuck is wrong at Bethesda? I'm so mad about this I just played Armoured Core at a rock solid 144fps and it is so jarring to go from that to this absolutely horrific performance.

It's provably the oldest engine still in triple A use, unless you count the Quake 1 code still around in bits of HL:Alyx

I think the WWE 2k Yuke's engine is older and was around for longer. It was around from 1999 to 2019, but I don't think it's in use anymore? I think NaughtyDog still uses some kind of scripting language that's been around since the first Jak and Daxter.

There's also Telltale who've used the same engine since I think 2005? And also there's the Build Engine from 1995 that occasionally gets new games, like Ion Fury.

Isn't call of duty using code based of the quake 3 engine? Or some kinda idtech engine

Based on idtech 3, so Q3
