This update will feature Nvidia DLSS support with frame generation, display and HDR controls for supported systems, and other optimizations and improvements. You’ll be able to opt-in to try it via the Steam Beta options. We’d love your feedback before it goes live for all PC and Xbox players after that.
Stay tuned for the specifics soon, and thanks for playing!
“We’re adding things that should’ve been there at launch” - Bethesda
Some of these things were implemented on first day of early access by community modders. It is over a month now.
Modders don’t have to run functionality and regression testing, fully localise any new text, pass platform certification, or any of the other hundreds of things that prevent AAA devs from dropping patches whenever they feel like it.
Not saying they couldn’t have had this stuff ready sooner, but comparing it to how quickly modders can release is apples to oranges.
Modders also werent paid to do this for the past X years before the game was public tho
Just because you are paid does not mean you turn into a wizard. This likely is a corporate issue, not a device issue.
Do you think corporate isnt paid?
TIL modders are wizards, with skills and management unreasonable to expect from lowly AAA titans.
I mean yeah, but then we do see other devs push updates daily (Lords of The Fallen for e.g.). I would love to give Bethesda a free pass, but they haven’t earned it IMO. Even now it’s going to be on Beta channel, only to be tested by gamers before it is pushed to release channel.
Also as beta, they must be highly confident with their QA, if the patch only contains exactly what stated.
unfortunately many of the problems I have with Starfield are at a concept level or with the way many of the systems are implemented so there’s not much that they can do with updates and patches to regain my interest.
You can patch out bugs, you can’t patch out boring.
