Am I missing something or is identifying an untracked quest a pain in the ass.
You can hover your cursor over the untracked quest icon, and it will show the text description. But you can't click on it to track it, and since it doesn't show the name, you have to go into your quest log and highlight every quest one-by-one until you find the matching description???

It's literally the worst quest tracking I've ever seen in a game.

It's pretty much the same system as Skyrim and Fallout3/4. It's not the best. However, if you're used to those games it's whatever.

The weakest point of this game, just like their prior games, is the general menu/inventory/etc. At least with the Fallout's it sort of makes sense with the pipboy setup, but Skyrim was horrendous, this game isn't much better. However, quest tracking is pretty straightforward. You just click the quest you want to track and it shows on the map. Not sure what you're having issues with.

The most useful mod for all of these games is a revamped inventory/etc GUI mod.

Well back then, companies had to make good games to be successful. Now that these companies have become successful, they can produce games that are just "good enough" to sell.
 
I might just wait and play this thing next summer fall after I've completed Baulders Gate 3, cyberpunk and I assume stalker 2. It would be a smart move to come to this game once it's been officially optimized and modded.

Ordered a 6800XT w/ Starfield key. I figured 6 years of my 1080 were enough :LOL:

Gratz. Not to be that guy, but 7800 XT releases in 2 days at $500 and will come with Starfield. But getting one in stock might be tough.
 
I’m having problems navigating to the quest marker. I can’t seem to locate where I’m supposed to go half the time.

Fantastic quest. Do it as soon as you discover it:

Just be aware of the LVL45 guard turrets and LVL39 Spacers. So probably not a quest recommended right out of the gate. Plus if I remember correctly it is given by a clue that you can only find by oompleting a multipart quest that you first think is just a small little assignment.
 
PSA - Make sure to hail ships you see. You’ll miss out on tons of cool stuff if you don’t.

Also, be careful when modifying ships you’ve purchased. Some have design features that the game won’t let you do on your own in ship builder.

I have no problem with paid mods, I'd paid for a bunch just for Assetto Corsa and simracing (money pit) but having DRM for it sucks. Can't say I'm surprised to see that. I'd pay for it if it didn't have DRM.

Anyway this feels kinda like Skyrim + Outer Worlds + Mass Effect + Interstellar kinda. I've been having fun but I'm not far. I picked the dream home trait so I'm looting as much valuable stuff as I can.

As soon as you do that (add DRM to your mod) what do you expect, you invite it
 
What happens if you land and commandeer a new ship? Like where does the old one go? I was doing a mission and had to find a crashed ship and accidentally found a pirate ship and killed them all thinking it was what I was looking for, but then it said I took control of the ship.

Agreed, but then devil's advocate: The dev can do what he wants, nobody is entitled to his work - DRM or otherwise. He has a free version of the mod, and then a paid, bleeding edge beta. He has no gun pointed at anyone's head to use any of his tools. IKYK.

And there's nothing stopping the "paid mods are against the spirit of mods!" chimps from developing a free version of whatever PureDark is asking money for, and releasing that free. But nobody will do that.

All that and what I said can be true at the same time, I never said he couldn't do it. This is just the way the world works. You know what's coming once you do it.

It just sort of goes into an inventory of your ships so to speak. If you steal a ship you have to fly it back and register it first to actually own it. If you talk to the same people that let you buy new ships / modify they'll let you switch ships.
 
SFSE is already a thing!

SFSE supports Starfield on Steam, but does not work with the Epic Games Store version or even more notably the Windows Store and Game Pass versions. "The game runtime needs to be launched suspended for this to work, and the game-specific MS Store apps (at least Fallout 4 and Skyrim SE; I don't subscribe to gamepass and don't own the game on the MS store) all prevent you from using the existing debug APIs for launching suspended," said Patterson in response to someone asking why. "I have done significant research on this and short of a ghastly hack this can't work."

would be nice if they released the first major patch right before the Standard Edition unlocks for everyone tomorrow
 
Does anyone know if you can remap the "end" key that triggers PureDarks DLSS mod?

I use that key for my gaming, would be better if I could bind it to something else, like maybe F2 or something.

I looked through the settings and can't seem to figure anything out.

Saw a video yesterday, 10 things they don't tell you in Starfield, on YT. Good info in there.

You'll have to edit the StarfieldUpscaler.ini the mod puts in the /mods directory. It even includes a link to show you the list of what number you have to use in the .ini for a given key.

That just means buy it on Steam or don't buy it at all. :)
 
Am I playing this game because I expected great graphics? - no… but this game, in places, looks surprisingly dated. I’m on an ice planet right now, and this game… in this area… doesn’t even match The Outer Worlds. It is a little disappointing. That said, I’m only 6 hours in, and the game just hasn’t grabbed me like I thought it would,
 
I had a funny little issues last night, including a keyboard binding problem.

I'll put it behind a spoiler tag. It's not really a story spoiler (more of a minor side quest) but just because.

So, I was around some planet and was haled by a ship run by a teacher, asking for spare ship parts because they were broken down.

Now, I had ship parts in the cargo hold, but not in my personal inventory. It would not detect the ship parts in the ship hold, so it forced me to say "sorry I can't help".

I tried getting out of the pilots chair, to walk over to the cargo box, get the ship parts, put them into my personal iventory, and then re-start eh conversation. No such luck.

You see, the key used for interacting with another ship is the same key used to get up out of the pilots chair, so in trying to get up, I'd just call them again, and have to tell them yet again I couldn't help.

Silly little problem. Could be solved with different binding functions (or just by having ships inventory scanned for the required parts as well)

So, that was dumb.
 
I’m playing that campaign mission in which you have to follow an anomaly on your hud - what a bunch of bullshit. It’s so vague what you’re supposed to do… I’m willing to bet at least half the people who play that mission will have to lookup the solution in a guide.

I’ve been following the main quest because the word was that we should do that - but I’m so close to abandoning this game that I might just go full sandbox.

I've been trying to figure out how to do just that, within reason. The only thing I have to go on is this post at the moment:
https://www.patreon.com/posts/low-effort-rank-77403831

But the problem is that he's using single rank, and mine is, as I understand it, dual rank (due to being 2x32 rather than 2x16, but I want the extra RAM so I'm not giving that up, especially for the price I got some good Hynix ram for...). From what I've read, people are having trouble stabilizing those settings on dual rank, so I'm not sure what to do there. Sucks, because this game is going to be releasing pretty soon (for the standard edition that I got with this 7800X3D) and I wanted to try it out with some tighter timings on my M-die. But I know next to nothing about what to change with his timings to try to make it stable lol.

This is probably worth going in here for some folks as well.

Yeah uh I'm really bad at rushing main story in any open game (which I'm assuming this is). If anything, I'm the guy in any Far Cry game with a beginner pistol out at the edge of the map with endgame enemies, trying to figure out how to take them down regardless. I don't understand people that even bother with the main story in open world games, and those people don't understand me.
