I overclocked my steam deck, and now it runs at a 90% locked 30 fps in new Atlantis.

So, I’d say within the next update and maybe Proton update, we can see it improve heavily.

    And to think before it launched and soon after it came out I got downvoted to hell for saying graphically it doesn’t look very good.

      Graphics are fine it’s the complete lack of style or interesting art direction.

      Honestly modded morrowind looks better at least there is interesting things to look at

        I partially disagree. I think the game has horrendous faces and facial animations and the majority of the planets are barren wastelands, but there’s definitely beauty and style to be found. I very much like the “NASA-punk” aesthetics they chose.

          Bethesda does a lot of copy paste on their dialogue too. Have you heard they’re reforming the dawnguard? Vampire hunters or something

        Starfield definitely had “a style” to it. Whether it was good or interesting is debatable but it definitely had a style to it that permeated the whole game. A shame they covered it up with god-awful, ugly ass insta filters. It looks like someone pissed on my screen so I’ve been referring to it as the “piss filter”. The game had the potential to look SO much better, and then they did… that… to it.

      This. I returned Starfield after spending half an hour in the character creator where the graphics looked significantly improved, Unreal Engine 5 level, and then got into the game and saw that my character looked straight out of Fallout 3 and cursed Todd Howard for making me waste half an hour of my life.

      Starfield’s graphical quality is a weird mix of good and bad.

      On one hand, the planet environments and skyboxes are pretty damn good looking.

      On the other hand, the people - especially the animations - still look like animatronics. Granted they’re more detailed than previous games, but they still have that vaguely robotic, uncanny valley feel to them.

      I can’t say the NASApunk theme is doing them any favors, either. It’s just…uninteresting. Pedestrian.

      Also, as an aside: graphics are the least of Starfield’s problems. I’d be perfectly happy to accept subpar graphics if the rest of the game was stellar. Sadly, it is not.

        The second you talk to an NPC is the second you notice it’s a Bethesda Game because it looks like it looked for the past 15+ years and better textures can’t hide those animations.

          Personally my fave is how everyone I talk to looks over their shoulder with their back to me instead of turning to face me 😂

          Honestly I couldn’t get very far in the game after realizing that…to be fair there’s so many other better games out right now…
