I'll believe they actually optimized their PC port when their PC ports start showing some signs of effort at being actual PC ports
No FOV slider after FO76 had one is, to me, a great sign of how little Bethesda actually cares about the platform that keeps them popular (thanks to mods)
They don't want to put the work in for the biggest benefit of PC gaming.
I don't think any PC should be able to run a game well at max settings on release. Leave room for it to still look good five years from now.
And have the bare bones setting be able to work on shitty systems that do need upgraded.
Bethesda just wants to make games that run on a very small slice of PCs, and who can blame them when they can't even release a stable game on a single console? They're just not good at

This is the mentality they want you to have. And it's a shit one. PCs should be able to run any game well when it comes out.
at max settings
Waaaaay too many people want that endorphin hit from setting everything to ultra.
Even if Medium looked exactly the same.
I'm gonna make a game where the graphics are basically the same at all presets, but with different filters. Crank the bloom and add a sepia filter, call it pro max or something.
I'm not super interested how Starfield will play 5 years from now. I didn't even play Skyrim past it's 5th release..
But seriously modders have shown they're up to the task op upgrading the engine and visuals over time.
Yeah. But at least you can use console command ( ~ tilde as usual ) to change fov Default values are first person 85 and third person 70 Range is 70-120
SetINISetting "fFPWorldFOV:Camera" "85"
SetINISetting "fTPWorldFOV:Camera" "70"
When you're happy with what you got, issue

Or you can just edit
I'm glad everyone is beta testing this game for me.
I'll wait until it's $20 on steam with all DLC for spaceship horse armor.
Welp. I just found my alt account, or at least long lost twin.
Same but I'm going to wait until it's $5. Can't give Todd too much money now.
lol same.
80 fucking euro for the quality of that game is crazy.
I guess Steve from gamer nexus should upgrade his computer when doing test runs? This guy I swear.
Just get a 4090ti to play the game that looks like it's made in 2011. What's the hold up?
Already preordered a 7900XTXTX ready to run Starfield at 720p 144fps in 3 years.
such a todd move, always with a shit eating grin. "Oh you can't run our game? jeez, have you tried not being poor?"
Thing is, I did upgrade my PC. Starfield runs acceptably, but not to the level it should given my hardware.
I'd much rather hear that they're working on it in a patch rather than be gaslit into thinking it already runs well.
I would agree. They should acknowlege its not well optimized and are working on fixing it, especially with Nvidia cards. It rubs me wrong that they are in denial here, especially given their rocky release history.
Heck that think that 50% of the reason they didnt want even co-op or any netcode. FO76 was a nightmare on relase largely because of that.
They didn't optimize it for consoles either. Series X has equivalent of 3060 RTX graphical grunt, yet it's capped to 30fps and looks worse than most other AAA games that have variable framerates up to 120fps. Todd says they went for fidelity. Has he played any recent titles? The game looks like crap compared to many games from past few years, and requires more power.
The real reason behind everything is the shit they call Creation Engine. An outdated hot mess of an engine that's technically behind pretty much everything the competition is using. It's beyond me why they've not scrapped it - it should have been done after FO4 already.
Weird how everyone jokes how shitty Bethesda developers are but everyone's surprised how bad Starfield runs.
And don't forget the constant loading screens. A game that has so many of them shouldn't look this bad and run this poorly.
This game is not pretty enough to push my 3080 ti as hard as it does. I get around 40fps at max settings.
I installed an optimized textures mod and instantly improved my performance by like... 20 frames, maybe more.
I have an RX 6600 XT that can run Cyberpunk on high no problem. C'mon Bethesda, the game is really fun, but this is embarrassingly bad optimization.
When there are benchmarks showing 0.1% lows at <40fps at 1080p on a goddamn 4090, no, Todd, the problem is your engine.
Kiss my ass Todd, my 6700xt and Ryzen 5 5600x shouldn't have to run your game at 1440p native with low settings to get 60fps
They did lol, and that's a really dumb question by a tech illiterate. Optimization isn't a boolean state, it's a constant ongoing process that still needs more work.
So what's this about modders immediately being able to improve performance with mods within a week after release?
Always irks me when gamers talk about optimization like it was a specific process or just changing a setting
While the frame rate I've been getting is not at all consistent, I do get 45-90 fps, which is quite playable with Freesync. Running 3840x1600 w/5800X3D and 6700XT. Not too crazy of a system. From my understanding, it's the 2000 and 3000 series Nvidia cards mainly having issues.
Idk what you guys are talking about lol. Runs perfectly with my 4090 13900k 32Go ddr5
Who's your liquid nitrogen supplier?

Get a new game engine, Todd. Bethesda owns id Software. id Tech is right where.
Games are somehow too CPU heavy these days even though they aren't simulating the entire world like Kenshi, just stuff around you, so even though I upgraded my gpu I can barely get to 30fps. Also had this problem with Wolong, Hogwarts and Wild Hearts.
I mean, it's Bethesda we're talking about. They've probably done enough optimization for it to run on consoles, but went completely unhinged on pc, expecting modders to fix their game. And they will. I'd just like a polished experience for 70€
Ran horribly until I put it on my SSD. Runs flawlessly now.
if you're running new games off a hard drive in 2023, todd is absolutely right and you should just spend the 50 bucks on an ssd
I find all the jokes in these comments about having 4090's particularly hilarious considering that the problems seem to be with NVIDIA drivers and performance is better on AMD.
Which kind of makes sense because Xbox uses AMD.
My PC runs better games just fine.
Instead of cracking jokes he should improve the piss poor optimization.
Can’t even render 50fps consistently on a Strix 3090OC at 1620p (accounting for resolution scale), what a joke.
Edit: Scratch that, it’s even worse, averaging around 40 fps with HUB Quality settings, so not even on Ultra and my 12900K is nowhere near bottlenecking.
What a joke.
