I am envious of all y’all enjoying the game, but after 3 nights of constant crashing, I am putting the game on ice for a while. I have scoured the Internet for fixes but nothing seems to work. I have a Ryzen 5 2600x, RTX 2060, 16 GB of ram and an M.2 SSD. I realize this isn’t the best PC but meets minimum specs so should be able to run on lowest settings.

Regardless, it has kind of been a blessing. I don’t have a ton of time to game so I have actually been playing Skyrim Special Edition for the very first time. On Ultra settings that games still holds up very, very well.

Hope to join y’all in a few months after a patch or two!

I don’t know if crashing has been common for people with Starfield but for me it hasn’t happened at all.

But I’m glad you’ve been able find joy in Skyrim. With your specs, you’d probably be good to throw some HD textures and meshes, a good lighting and environment miss, and run an enb to get a real modern look.

I’ve always enjoyed ELFX for lighting. Lighting mods deal with interiors and that one has options for how dark you want your dungeons.

Lighting has a surprising impact on the atmosphere of Skyrim. A lesson they’ve seemed to learn from on Starfield.

I’ve also not experienced a single crash with Starfield. I’m playing on Linux with an 7600x and a 6600XT.

Oh I hadn’t even thought about mods! That sounds like a great idea. Thanks.
