The Starfield thread

Intox said:
Check if you can copy the Starfield\Data folder from gamepass install location to Steam install location on other PC(SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Starfield\Data), it should validate most of the data when you press install on steam and only download the relevant missing items which should not be that big.

It's not steam though. It's Xbox GamePass.

Anyways, it's not possible. Downloading from scratch again.
 
Played on a bit on PC now as I was pleasantly surprised to see my progress syncs between PC and Xbox.

Ran pretty well actually, 1440p with a mix of mostly medium with some high settings. Resolution scale at 100 and FSR2 enabled and I'm getting between 40 and 90 FPS which plays nicely with FreeSync.

PC is a Ryzen 3950X & 3060Ti.

Still prefer playing on the Xbox though on the couch with the surround sound which really makes a big difference.

There is an easier way. Land on random planets. Wait for other ships to land close by. Engage with them and kill them then take the ship. easy peasy. Make sure none of your crew is with, they will hate you for it, unless you are taking on enemies. Ship below I took off enemies.

What's worse is slogging my overburdened self over 800m just to get to the landing site and it's a UC ship and I don't want to stir the pot with a friendly faction just yet
 
So basically if you can't install on a SSD, don't bother
Running game 2k with high settings, no problem, but every once in a while the game will randomly freeze for a few seconds to load something, often times mid conversation so the lip syncing is also out.

Game is also... I dunno. Soulless. It's just more of the same Bethesda, but with space stuff. I'm just not clicking with it and after 2 hours I'm done.

Guess playing Baldur's Gate 3 ruined it for me. While playing this I just feel like I'd rather play BG

But, that's just my opinion.
Luckily only rented.

I’ve seen comments similar to yours from people who stuck it out. First bit, not into it. Keep going, loving it.

Might be worth the patience, but there are a lot of games to play so no harm in moving on.

I’m loving it.

That happened to me. It gets better once you get through the early phases.

Go enlist as a Vanguard as soon as you can and take the museum tour. Then do a few of the Terrormorph missions. That helped a lot with getting into the lore to add context to everything that follows...
 
Meh
Already uninstalled. Will try again after a few months of patching. Getting another SSD is not a viable option right now and what I've read online playing on normal HHD is impossible for a good time

Fuuuuuuck me what a grind, but finally got the Star Eagle... and then some junk ship I hijacked.

2000+ cargo space! Now if only I knew how to get shielded cargo on it :unsure:

Answer below if you want to know instead of finding out by yourself...

Go to Porrima Star System -> Porrima III -> Red Mile -> Talk to Lon Anderson - > "I'd like to view and modify my ships" -> Cargo category -> buy a shielded cargo hold (will have it in the item name)

Note, though - you'll have to replace an existing cargo hold with a shielded one - it doesn't just add to your current hold space.

I'm still kinda figuring it out but it seems how shielded cargo works is that as long as your contraband is lighter than the total shielded volume cargo space you have available, it should be shielded. i.e. you can't specifically put something into the shielded cargo space, it's calculated against the contraband volume in your inventory.

*edit*

Posted this before I saw someone else had responded. Ah, well - will leave it up anyway.

Kinda baffled at this type of criticism, tbh. What did people think it was going to be? Plus, everything they've shown since it was announced basically said 'Skyrim in space'.

Sure.
Just not clicking with me as I said.
Fallout, Elder Scrolls grip me from the first minute.
This just didn't.
Is what it is.

Edit.
There is also no dismemberment or exploding heads like in Fallout.
Which is kinda lame.

Yeah, I installed it on a HDD that had space open without thinking it would be an issue. Started the game just after reading this and sure enough it hangs very often for long times. HDD sits at 100% the whole time. Made some space on my old SSD and moved the install over and no more issues.

So maybe it is not my 1070 and 6700K that is the real issue here.
