  Is this on Xbox? Do you know approx how long into the game you are? I had great runs early in the game, it isn’t until 48 hours in I think I started having issues.

    I play on Xbox and PC. No issues on either and my PC play is loaded with mods.

      Hmmm.

      I wonder if you two guys are using Xbox versions with different amounts of memory, since Microsoft is doing this “high/low” model for consoles.

      My PC hasn’t seen stability issues with Starfield, but it’s high-spec: has a 24GB VRAM, 128GB RAM, running off NVMe, and a high-end CPU.

      A response to me says that someone is seeing a bunch of stability problems. They said that they were running it on a PC below min specifications.

      An XBox Series S has 10GB of combined VRAM/main memory and an XBox Series X has 16 GB. That’s a a substantial difference between the two versions.

        This is likely also true, I play on a Series X and my PC is well above recommended specs.

        Why did you feel the need to flash your computer specs.

    I haven’t played it at all (at least yet) but is it possible that this may be an issue with the Series S and not the Series X?

      I think that may be the case, I’m on the s and it started happening on like 48hrs in, noticed it gets better if I delete my older saves too. So probably related to the limited hardware.

      I do think there must be some memory leak involved though, and seems to be worse when Xbox uses its “suspend” mode.

        I can see that

        Doesn’t seem to be as great a game as it was anticipated to be overall for sure… Not as bad as Redfall but still.

    I’m only about 21 hours in.
