For the people that say that Starfield doesn't run well on Linux.

The performance for this game is garbage considering how poor the graphics are. Was a quick refund, I'll wait for the ultra turbo deluxe goty edition for $20 in half a decade.

Having learned my lessons in the past, I'm now a patient gamer. It's great to play a game 2 years (sometimes a year) after its release. By then they have patched all the annoying bugs and optimized the game.

Yes its the way to go and its a great way to save money. I try to spend a maximum of 50 per year. I usually grab a few things in the steam sale . I find it forces me to play through stuff and really think about if will I play it. It turns out 50 will go a long way and I usually end up with 8ish new games a year.

So you like buying games after their buy-in beta period? 😎

TBH I currently only "own" the game because of a voucher tied to my RX6600. Else I would have waited, too.

Sidenote: in 1080p it runs at ~50-60FPS without FSR (native resolution). Plays on Windows and Linux about evenly well, albeit that I have seen some graphical glitches (on Linux, did not try to reproduce them on Windows 10) e.g. my follower doing a bl*ckface for no reason.
