I MADE A PROMISE
I'LL DO ANYTHING
PSA to anyone who takes a "Fully map a planet" mission from a kiosk. I got stuck roaming a swamp biome for a few hours looking for a single fauna that I was missing (it was the only biome on the planet that wasn't 100%). Eventually found a tip online that there are fish in the game. Had to go land on a coast, run to the ocean, and found some fish there to scan and complete the quest.

So I've run into what seems to be a very annoying bug.

I am at a self-service bounty console at my base and I am unable to clear my bounty with the United Colonies. It's 360k and I have 370k credits. It tells me I don't have the credits to clear my criminal record which is just false based on what the UI is telling me about how much cash I have on hand and the value of the bounty on me.

I was able to clear another bounty I had from Neon without issue. I did notice that if the console is in a system that you have a bounty in that it won't let you clear it. I had to go to a different system and clear it from there. Maybe I'm missing something but it definitely seem bugged.

theres a fee above the bounty of like 10 or 15% that you need to be able to pay too, the ui is unclear about this

anyone else getting the bug where opening your inventory will crater your fps to about 10-15, even after you close the inventory?

very annoying, but theres also a simple remedy. If you open and close your inventory over and over, eventually it will fix itself and go back to normal fps

not running any mods so not sure whats causing this besides general jankiness. Hope bethesda can fix this quickly cause i frequently have to go into the menus

well you can't play in full screen and lower the resolution for some reason, so 4k tv at 50% internal resolution. some say that is 2k and some say 1080p, but in any case you can't lower it any further

if it could run full screen at 1080p it might be fine, but it can't. not gonna switch my windows resolution every time I want to play the game, so gently caress it entirely

you can't even change the brightness lmao, it's such a turd it's unbelievable

It's been perfectly fine for me at 1080p on the default settings (except for turning FSR off and setting the internal resolution to 100%, and of course motion blur off because gently caress that), and I'm on a 2060Ti, so take that how you will :shrug:

Yes, but you deserve smoother. Your hardware's capable of doing so. Digital Foundry made a video of it, where at the exact same settings on each, the 6800xt was doing 57fps to the 3080's 40.

definitely a circumstance of overall hardware config making the difference moreso than individual gpu power it seems. I'm getting better avgs on my 5800x3d and EVGA 2070 than some people w/ better GPUs than me, but folks generally don't give their CPU and memory info when talking about their hardware specs around this game.

What are the chances that this is more an issue of trying to run FSR2 on an nVidia card, and not so much the game itself? I just finished putting together a new machine for myself, old one was on death's door anyway, and am running a 3080 with a i7-13700k. I'm running same resolution as this guy, 100% resolution with FSR disabld, evey other setting maxed, and I have never seen the game dip below 57 FPS in the kind of environment that dude is wandering.

I see high 40s in New Atlantis when I'm in my ship's cockpit looking out (which probably has more to do with whatever voodoo was done to turn creation engine's indoor level spaces into a spaceship that can move around than GPU horsepower), but other than that the game is pretty damned smooth.

I've jumped to the 3080 from a founders-edition 1080, so I'm not fully up on some of these newer acronyms and how they play across AMD vs nVidia.

That's not what gaslighting means you hyperbolic dipshit.
I figured out specifically what I hate about this game's abysmal travel system.

EITHER let me travel around exclusively via controls in the ship's cockpit, OR let me go to the map and fast travel to anywhere from any exterior area on any planet with a single loading screen.

But don't try to force this weird hybrid method where you have to go back and fourth between ship, then out-of-game menu, then back to ship, then loading screen, then back to ship, then back to menu, then back to ship, loading screen, then back to menu or whatever to get from one planet to another. It feels horrible.

im on a 3060Ti and have an i7-11700F @ 2.5GHz and im getting rock solid 60 FPS inside and around 50 outside at Medium settings and 3440*1440. pushing it to High drops everything to 30 FPS

i dont think it's a very high end machine but the game runs well enough for me *shrug*

yeah and i can't figure out when I can actually fast travel and when I can't and to where

sometimes I can fast travel from an indoor environment, sometimes i have to come out of the indoor environment, sometimes I have to be in my ship, sometimes I have to be in my ship and undocked/in-orbit

it's confusing

I have a 3070 Ti and by setting everything to the Hardware Unboxed optimized settings and like 67% scaling (plus the DLSS2 mod to make that not look like rear end), I can keep it above like 45fps in the most demanding areas and well above 60 in interiors. It's not great but also not a deal breaker. Hell that's how I played Elden Ring before I upgraded from a 1070.

I always use the quest log for travel since it will get you as close to where you are going as possible with minimum menuing.

I'm on a 3090 at 29:10 3840x1600 resolution on ultra settings and go from 40fps in cities to 60 indoors.

I put everything on low and my performance barely changed, if at all, so yeah, I just keep it on ultra because why the hell not.

I'm sure if I was running with a 16:9 monitor my performance would solidly be above 60 most of the time.

I was in the same boat until someone in the steam thread gave me this tip when I complained about the very same thing. Made exploring around much more enjoyable.

lunar detritus posted:

A detail I missed for the longest time is that you can travel without going to the menu. If you can see the star (or mission marker) you can press A and then X. Then it'll launch into a hyperspeed cutscene right there from the ship.

To build on this, if you go into scanner mode, you can see the markers for each planet or POI within your jump range. So you can just look at it, select it, and then you'll have the option to move to it.
