Bethesda claims that the Intel ARC GPUs do not meet Starfield's PC minimum requirements

Translation: “we didn’t bother making this work with arc because the third party tool we used to port it from console to PC didn’t support it and we don’t give a fuck.

I claim Bethesda's games do not meet the minimum requirement for me to pay for them instead of plundering

This must be one of the worst-developed games in the last ten years. If a high-end PC can't run it, they did a shitty job designing it, and the graphics are not great. They spent zero time optimizing it.

Bethesda doesn't seem to care about pr at all

This feels like the discussion then Fallout 4 was released. People were getting 15fps in the locations like the outdoor cities and Bethesda blamed it on the PC.

Can't fix their middleware? My Arc a750 runs Cyberpunk & most other games much better than my brother's 3060.

Bruh, 16GB vram isn't enough for their game? Holy hell, man 😂

Bethesda support saying the Intel Arc doesn't meet the minimum requirements doesn't mean they don't actually mean to support it. It means that support looked at the product requirements and didn't see Intel Arc listed or that the person confused it with the integrated graphics chip.

Meanwhile I'm running Starfield on a Steam Deck with zero issues and 30-60 FPS

Haven't bought it yet - how does it work on the Xbox S? (I'm reluctant to shell out for a X just for one game)

Ok what did I miss?

When Bethesda simps keep buying this crap over and again, why waste additional coin on optimisation and testing when these clowns will pay them to do it.

I'll probably buy it eventually, whenever the ultra mega turbo deluxe edition is on sale. Rushing out to buy a single player game from Bethesda is a rookie mistake and I hate to see it.

If these issues only occur on Arc GPUs, it sounds much more like a hardware or driver issue than a problem with the game.

“How dare this dirt-cheap piece of entertainment software not run flawlessly on a million different hardware configurations?!”
