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.

    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…
