Looks like there is a bug that makes this game unstable on some kernels (like in default Ubuntu):
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2034718Seems it’s worse if you have nvidia (for Linux desktop) cause apparently they didn’t fund the project for optimization. So even great cards are struggling I heard. My 1080Ti won’t even start it. Finally an end of an era. I had to refund. I do have a steam deck but it doesn’t seem worth it to get starfield on it
AMD cards can use latest mesa driver to get it work though.
anything is worse if you have nvidia to be fair
Especially recently. When I got my 1080 ti I could appreciate them but since then fuck no. AMD will be my next card.
ML applications as well? I am still unsure if I get the same performance at AMD.
idk, but AMD is working in that, that what i know, so buy a recent card because that where AMD is focusing on improving
I don’t really care much about FPS on the Deck. It is what it is and I’m cool with that. The only negative I have is the textures are ass.
You can always adjust the settings so you get even less fps for nicer quality. You’ll eventually hit that fps line where you can’t do anything because your getting too low of fps.
Sure enough I can surprisingly get a good number of settings up to medium and got textures back without impacting my experience.
It’s just give or take with performance. I’m sacrificing getting low frame rates in city’s to get way better textures when going though bases. So on the deck I’m exploring the areas it performs well at and I’ll do all the city quests on my PC after a GPU upgrade.
Yeah it’s always a balance.
