i recently re-subscribed to Game Pass so i could play Starfield along with other games that are coming out that i wanna play (like Lies of P and the new Forza Motorsport). so i installed the game and when i play it, shit is stuttering, lagging and freezing every 5 minutes! sometimes it plays smoothly but then all hell breaks loose! swear this shit is unplayable as hell!

i tried updating my GPU's drivers (i have a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Super) but the problem persists. and the graphical settings are set to low/medium by default.

is anyone else experiencing similar issues as well?

I haven't had any issues with it yet on my sexbox.

I do seem to recall when the game released PC players lamenting over it not being optimized for PC yet.

Perhaps that's the issue.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600G 3.9Ghz 6-Core

According to Bethesda your processor is a bit underpowered TC. Try dialing down the settings to low (not mixed low/med) and try again. Probably won't help but worth a try.

Starfield min system requirement (recommended):
- R5 2600X (R5 3600X) or i7 6800K (i5 10600K)
- 1070Ti (2080)
- 16 GB RAM (16GB)
- mandatory SSD
source: help.bethesda.net

Those Ryzen X and Intel K in spec requirement are performance class processor with much higher wattage. Your Ryzen G is weaker but comes with iGPU in return.

Your current R5 5600G : ~60W TDP
R5 2600X and R5 3600X : ~90-100W TDP
i7 6800K and i5 10600K : ~120-150W TDP

For gaming rig it's advisable to get one of those Ryzen X or Intel K. With nVIDIA GPU in tow you won't need the iGPU from Ryzen G so you can buy a stronger processor instead. For example R5 5600G and R7 5700X had similar asking price back then.

Good luck TC.

The game has absolute shit optimization for PC.
It has these insane power demands but does nothing to justify them, it's a mess as modders and people who just dig in the files can attest to.

It's super complicated to play on my sexbox though!

I have to pull up the game, and hit 'A' and then I'm in the game with Quick Resume in less than 10 seconds.

It's so hard!

Starfield is basically a "next-gen" PC game in terms of system requirements if your rig is behind in any area the game's performance suffers greatly.

Unfortunately yes there are moronic devs like Todd Howard who only target present time high-end PCs and don't even bother optimizing their games properly before launch. In those cases PC gaming is pretty crap. But most publishers actually want people to buy their games and don't pull that shit.

Ill be real, and this isnt to start a debate, just talk about my experience; Ive had issues playing Pokmon romhacks and basic ass indie games. PC gaming is just inherently more unstable in my experience. This may be because I dont have all the cool knowledge you need to PC game correctly, but I would submit that I cant be bothered to do all that

Depends on the how really. Take modding, and graphics...

Pointing out something, is pointing out something.

Doesn't have to come from an elitist point of view. Never in my life have I met a PC gamer that goes on about "PC GAMING MASTER RACE!"
