Is it only me?

If you think flying through space is thrilling, imagine how thrilling it is to forget to save for the past half an hour and see that load symbol slowly start to freeze because you walked into a shop.... ...

Adding a pic of the merch I got today at least.

It's been fine on my PC. Actually, come to think of it, that's a little odd. I have a new PC, and I was definitely running the memory faster than the system could handle, would occasionally get errors until I cut the speed. But there's still something causing Firefox -- normally rock solid -- to die frequently, and some other freezes have shown up. Starfield, which one would expect to stress the memory, CPU, and GPU more than anything else I've been running, has been fine. And I've been playing a bunch of Starfield.

In fact, I've only seen two issues out of Starfield that I can recall.

The first has occasionally been some outpost stations not letting me use them, saying that they're obstructed. That goes away if I quicksave and load.

The other issue has been occasionally some body textures on followers becoming invisible. This is usually one or both eyes, which is disconcerting as hell, because I'm talking to Sarah Morgan or someone and she's got these dead sockets looking at me.

The other variant I've seen is most of the body, including the face, being invisible and only the eye textures showing up, so that there are two floating eyeballs looking at me and no face. Which is kind of disconcerting too.

Haven't had stability problems, though. When they said that this was Bethesda's most bug-free game release, they were right.

EDIT: Well, okay, this is on a PC. I can't speak as to the Xbox release.

Hahaha i have been getting one missing eye on Sarah and a few others in conversation. I figured it was perhaps a nod that a need for eye patches are in order.

Pirated copy via Steam, proton ge 817.

Non-pirated copy, Steam, Proton Experimental. Hmm. You and I are both seeing it and are using Linux, so maybe it's something specific to Linux. amdgpu 23.0.0-1 drivers.

It's funny, I haven't had any visual issues, but the stability is awful on my rig. But I can't complain too loudly, I'm below minspec.
