A prominent open-source dev publishes their findings as to what's going on with Starfield's performance, and it's pretty darn strange.

According to Hans-Kristian Arntzen, a prominent open-source developer working on Vkd3d, a DirectX 12 to Vulkan translation layer, Starfield is not interacting properly with graphics card drivers.

    what does this even mean? “sure they’re fun” and also “not particularly good by any measure” are conflicting statements

      E.G. Fallout 4 is fantastic exploration.

      It’s best gameplay is when your ignore the plot entirely and create your own story.

      Same with Skyrim, Fallout 3 and Oblivion.

      The actual main plots are simplistic, boring and oddly quick. Weirdly, each of the games has an expansion that has a well done quest line, so its not that they can’t do it, they choose to not do it.

      Biodome with Pauly Shore is one of my favorite movies. I have fun every time i watch it. It’s not a “good” movie.

        I would like to add Hook to this list. I was flabbergasted when, as an adult, found out it was poorly received. Then I rewatched it as an adult and was forced to agree. Still one of my favorites.
