Starfield | The Game's File I/O Is Holding Back The Rest Of Your PC

>965.162MB/s
Guys, I can't fathom what the hell is going on in Bethesda's brain anymore.
> Why would they intentionally limit SSD read speeds?
Does that make any sense other than to make everything in the game laggy?
It's no longer explained by lack of ability, or laziness. It's needlessly stupid. It just makes everything that's already bad even worse.

      People don't understand. I worked in tech and 75% of my job was fixing mistakes in the outsourced code we got from pajeets. They are fucking retarded but somehow its cheaper to hire 10 of them to make dogshit code and have 1 intelligent person fix it than to just higher 3-4 white people.

                And its obvious to me that you are just coping. These same gay loving amerimutts shat out fallout 76. Now they shat out abofield.
                You can look up the credits right now. All the "outsourcing" was done to 3D asset farms, literally the same shit Rockstar did for Red Dead Redemption 2 or even From Software for Sekiro.
                Both of those games look light years ahead of abofield while also running way better.

                Those ugly NPCs are so incomprehensibly ugly it's like they did that on purpose.
                I just got better results even just having Bethesda employees scan their faces for free.

                The guy responsible for the NPC auto-spawner is a genetic waste, obese Brazilian. We've all seen the thread.
                Though it's obvious they just took the "projected global population chart year 2100" statistic and applied it to the algorithm.

                No, what's worse is every other major character is brown and/or gay. Fucking weird.
                They did some really weird, inexcusable shit with the characters, even minor quest NPCs.
                Sam Coe's daughter being black when he and the mother are white,
                There's also a kid in a minor Atlantis quest who is dark as shit but both the parents are white (the dad looks slavic for fucks sake)

                Their choices for the people in the storyline are just, fucking, weird.

                NPCs have always stared at the player when they walk past them in Bethesda's games. Or at least since Oblivion they have. I guess the problem here is there's just a lot more NPCs in Starfield than you normally see a Bethesda games.

      His mobo has PCIe 5.0 16x, and he's only using a PCIe 4.0 16x GPU, so the added SSD isn't an issue at all.

        The SSD is in reality an NVME drive that doesn't go through SATA, but the PCI E lane itself. So take a guess at what happens when:
        >I'm gonna dooomp assloads of video memory at the same time I call on the harddrive to dump 4k texture files.

        Also they are shit at random write/read, which is probably most of the issue.

    Because game developers get bribes from hardware manufacturers to purposely make their games unoptimized so you have to buy new hardware. For this game, Bethesda got bribes from AMD and the SSD industry, likely Samsung.

      Stick with the lousy engine until you know you can't go on any longer.
      In fact Starfield is already creating a 2.0 engine because Fallout 76's 1.0 engine couldn't get the ship to fly. Forced to upgrade the engine.

            i kinda dunno why they made this, i feel like both this and fallout 4 are effectively stopgap games to keep the company afloat while they work on TES6.

            the scale of TES6 looked different in the preview they showed, so i think they do have a new engine now.

              No, Fallout 76 was the stop gate for Starfield because they needed to update the engine in order to implement the spaceship and the procedural world. It was a cash grab made by asset flipping Fallout 4 by one small studio. This game cost Bethesda around 400 million. They’ll make minor engine updates for TES VI though. But this is their most expensive and worked on game yet.

      It's a lot easier to develop an engine for corridors than it is an engine for a persistent open world.

      Also, there's often a lot of rivalry and internal conflict between studios under the same banner. Notoriously BioWare Montreal claimed Bioware Austin was practically sabotaging them. Similarly Ion Storm Dallas would get very pissy with Ion Storm Austin because they would refuse to ever share anything or collaborate.

            There was one significant 0.1% stutter on the HDD, circled in red. The NVME drive also has those 1% low spikes like the one on the left of this pic, this wasn't shown in the pic I posted. Which is what I was talking about with "behaves exactly the same as every other game that uses asset streaming" they all have minor 1% loading dips, every game I've ever played.

            Loading a big game on an HDD made me remember being poor 10 years ago.

    This issue will only get worse as time progresses and devs cease using as many repeated assets and higher quality assets in environments.

      then why does Starfield runs at 100 FPS on my 3070ti?

        Because average FPS doesn't fix stutters.
        A stutter is the worst type of performance issue as you can always feel it and its disruptive to gameplay.
        Framerate variation will always be a shit experience when the frame times exceed 33ms.

        That's my point. They are reusing assets to this degree and they still have obnoxious frametime spikes.
        Other games reuse assets to a lesser degree and they are also hit by this to some degree.
        For the future asset quality will only grow way higher and demand more data which means even greater spikes.
        Starfield has decent assets for a late-last gen game. But don't even think about UE5-level assets to ever have a chance in an engine like Bethesdas.

          No hardware is ready for UE5
          Not even the new AMD CPUs coming out are going to be ready for UE5.

          Starfield doesn't have that much content, period. 100 people, 1000 people whatever. The game is modular, nothing about this game says "OH GEE WE HAVE A WACKY AMOUNT OF CONTENT"

          40-50 hours of solid questlines with another 20% either being something you like or not your type of story is a good amount of game content, dude.

            You sound like someone who doesn't realize how long 7 years actually is. You do realize you're padding your 40-50 hours with "walking around" right? It's not a solid 40-50 hours if you skip all the fluff. You also vastly underestimate how much full time workers can produce if they're not dicking around.

            PS5 would be able to get a PS4 gen experience with UE5. ie. likely 30fps and likely 1440p max.

    Do you really need more than 900 mb/s read/write speed off of your drive?
