#starfield Bugs, Crash, Stuttering, Audio Cuts, Bad Optimization Fail, By Brett Keane · Brett Keane and Eve Show

1:01
Well hello ladies and gentlemen. My name is Brett Keen and you
1:04
are watching and listening to the Brett Keen Show.
1:06
When you get an opportunity, check out my international radio
1:10
station. You can listen to it on Spotify
1:13
as well as several other outlets including Amazon Music.
1:17

1:21

1:24

1:27
Feel free to hit the thank you heart under the video or join
1:32
and become a member and by doing so you will be supporting and
1:37
showing your love. Well folks, I hate to be the
1:41
messenger of burdens and issues and problems.
1:45
As many of you know, I'm a big time gamer and I love Bethesda,
1:50
but they fucked up again major late.
1:54
Starfield's been in the development process for 25
1:58
years, and they even delayed it a few times and said that they
2:03
were optimizing it and cleaning it up.
2:07
But a lot of modders have already looked into a lot of the
2:10
files, because Bethesda tends to use the same engine as well as
2:17
scripts that they use for all their games, whether it's Skyrim
2:20
or Fallout or Vegas or. Fallout 3.
2:24
So it's not hard for them to be able to get in there even before
2:27
the Creation Kit drops. And a lot of it's the same shit,
2:33
and a lot of people are experiencing the same problems
2:36
that they had with the prior products and games that
2:41
Bethesda's made. There are people out there
2:43
complaining they can't even get the fucking video game to
2:46
launch. There are people out there
2:48
claiming that their game crashes every 5 seconds.
2:52
There are people out there who are claiming that the game
2:55
freezes their computer, makes it to where they have to completely
2:59
do a hard reset on their computer.
3:03
Which, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, when shit like that
3:06
happens, as many of you know who have been playing Bethesda games
3:12
for years, when the game freezes or crashes or does, it's
3:16
bullshit. It'll literally corrupt all your
3:19
save files. So this means that you have to
3:22
start over. It only takes one time of the
3:26
damn game crashing or freezing, and that could actually corrupt
3:30
your system, corrupt your files, and then boom.
3:35
Well, the problem is, is that a lot of these crashes are
3:38
happening during the dialogue process.
3:41
They're happening in the tutorial.
3:43
Now, the tutorial of the game is not that interesting to me.
3:47
I know a lot of people are all spiffed up and they're excited,
3:50
but I managed to get through the tutorial area after several
3:55
crashes myself and I've got a superpower computer, ladies and
3:59
gentlemen. My computer might as well been
4:03
designed by God himself. It's got beautiful video
4:08
processor, it's got a great video card on it.
4:12
I even went out and purchased a new game card to specifically to
4:17
be able to play the Bethesda game Starfield, and there's a
4:22
lot of people claiming that they have high end computers and
4:26
their experience in audio stuttering, their experience in
4:29
the game not launching, or if it does launch, they're crashing
4:33
over and over now. Another issue as is this.
4:39
When you start up the game, if you manage to get it going, it
4:43
wants to go through this whole thing where it's wanting to
4:47
install thousands of reshaders under your game and then after
4:52
you sit through this long ass process and manage to actually
4:56
start up the game. After going through all these
5:00
game settings and video settings and aggravation that hundreds of
5:04
thousands of websites are telling you that you should do
5:07
in order to play this game properly, oh, I can see the
5:11
average layman person sweating their ass off right now.
5:14
You thought that you spent 70 to $100 to play a fucking game the
5:19
moment you started up? Are you kidding me?
5:21
No, this is Bethesda. You have to be a fucking
5:25
astrophysicist in order to be able to figure out how to make
5:28
their game work for you. There's already modders out
5:33
there that are creating optimization and performance.
5:37
The mods to try to fix this problem right off the bat, even
5:41
without the Creation Kit access or help yet, and even that shit
5:46
ain't fucking working for people because the game is so fucked.
5:51
People have recorded. Now there's videos coming out on
5:54
YouTube immediately showing that the game is buggy.
5:58
Npc's are doing the jiggle, Wiggle shit's flying up in the
6:02
air. It's got no fucking gravity or
6:04
physics. And that's not because of the
6:06
space, ladies and gentlemen. That's because Bethesda fucked
6:10
us in our ass without Vaseline once again.
6:14
Now they claim that Microsoft had told them that they need to.
6:21
Do something different than all the other times because it's
6:24
gotten to the point where people make fun of Todd Howard and they
6:28
make memes and they say the this company is incapable of making a
6:33
game that works on launch. They simply are fucking
6:37
incompetent. And then it usually takes 8
6:40
months to a year where modders get in there and make the game
6:45
somewhat playable. It takes usually a fucking year.
6:50
And if it wasn't for the modders, because the company,
6:53
what they do is they release that shit and they and they
6:59
fucking don't have it working and they don't do anything about
7:02
it. They never patched up any of
7:04
their other games. Elder Scrolls on lines got a
7:07
huge fucking legacy. They're legendary for not
7:12
responding or reading anybody's shit that they're putting out
7:16
there. Fallout 76.
7:19
Took fucking years before they got around to working on it, so
7:23
here we are. We've been delayed several
7:25
times. The game won't launch, and if it
7:28
does launch, it's broke. And even if you manage to get
7:31
through the fucking tutorial area, you find yourself having a
7:35
problem. You see, the moment you get in,
7:39
you are facing some bitchy ass Asian woman.
7:43
Where she's telling you, along with this passive aggressive
7:48
fucking soul, a boy that's hanging out with her and you
7:52
find yourself waking up. You don't wake up, You are
7:55
basically on an elevator being led down into a cavern of dog
7:59
shit. Upon doing this, you're
8:02
listening to her bitch and moan and you know clearly show that
8:07
she's not happy with her fucking job or interest and you're
8:10
listening to this. For five fucking minutes while
8:14
at the same time listening to the audio and the music stutter
8:18
repeatedly and watching Npc's jerk because the game is
8:23
fucking. Got a problem People have
8:25
thought. What if I turn off vertical
8:27
sink? What if I turn off the frame
8:30
rate? But unfortunately because to set
8:32
the frame rate at 30 so if you loosen it up your game becomes
8:37
even more fucking unstable. So if you do manage to get
8:42
through this area with loud machinery and laser shooting
8:45
fucking mountains and cliffs and shit like this, you're going to
8:49
eventually get to a part where the woman tells you.
8:52
After you listen to an extremely loud construction machine in
8:56
your fucking ear, you're told, oh, go alone basically, and fuck
9:04
around in an unstable cavern. So the ground's shaken.
9:10
Right out the bat, people are suggesting you turn off the
9:13
vibration on your computer if you're running a PC.
9:18
So you'll go through that bullshit.
9:20
You'll go up this narrow corridor into like a cavern area
9:24
where there's a small hole. You'll go in there, there be an
9:27
artifact. You got to mine it.
9:30
You're gonna notice right off the bat that the piece of
9:33
equipment that you've picked up, the moment you shoot the laser,
9:36
your game will freeze. Most people crash.
9:39
They don't even make it beyond that.
9:41
But let's say that you do manage to get that shit.
9:44
You grab out and you grab this fucking artifact and the next
9:48
thing you know the game whips into this weird universal
9:51
fucking vortex looking thing. And then you wake up and you're
9:56
on the ship and you're listening to the Asian woman crab about
10:00
are you okay? Along with the Soy boy again?
10:06
He sounds kind of like McCready a little bit, but not as
10:09
enthusiastic. I don't know why it is that they
10:13
would want to do that. Start the game off with two
10:16
bitchy people who don't seem like they care about their job
10:20
or they're interested in shit. But while you're sitting here
10:24
fighting for this is dialogue the moment that you come out of
10:28
a load screen. Now we all know that these load
10:31
screens are already a process on your computer, but you are are
10:37
instantly engaging in dialogue, which is probably one of the
10:41
reasons why you fucking crash. From the moment you do that,
10:46
then it gets worse. If you do manage to get through
10:49
the dialogue, they'll talk to you for a moment, the bitchy,
10:52
whiny voices, and then they'll ask you who you are, which will
10:57
immediately take you into the character creation.
11:01
Now the character creation is very neat.
11:04
Not as many hairstyles as I thought they would be, but I was
11:08
spoiled by Fallout 4 mods where it added hundreds and thousands
11:13
of different wigs and hairstyles.
11:15
Is where it appears as though there's only like 20 hairstyles
11:19
and they're all looking like they're for black people or they
11:25
look kind of dumb. It's supposed to be the future,
11:29
but these hairstyles are look like you're primitive, you know,
11:33
all bushy or big or you know, huge.
11:36
Froze and bullshit like this that don't even look right in
11:40
space is what it is, OK? So you go through the character
11:45
creation process and you're thinking, yeah, I finally got
11:49
something. You're actually starting to feel
11:51
the will to continue to play the game.
11:54
But the moment that you click accept and you name your
11:57
character, the game fucking wants to again engage into
12:02
dialogue with the bitchy people which most people can't get
12:07
past, 'cause that crashes, OK? You go from load screen into
12:13
dialogue, which Bethesda should have known better by now that
12:18
it's already fucking aggravating to go through the load screen.
12:22
Now you got to listen to the dialogue, and then dialogues
12:26
crash in you because it's an immediate transition.
12:30
It should have gave you a moment, but it doesn't.
12:33
So you go into that shed, you do your dialogue.
12:37
If you manage not to crash or freeze and you get through the
12:40
audio going take, take, take, take, take over and over while
12:44
you're listening, this bitch moan in your ear.
12:50
If you manage to get through that, you're then going to walk
12:52
through this little area where the tutorial tells you to put on
12:56
your helmet. Obviously you're getting ready
12:58
to go outside into a shitty environment.
13:03
And it stutters all the way up to the point where you meet this
13:06
black guy in a space outfit, looks like a hazmat suit from
13:09
Fallout 4. He he's got a ship sitting
13:13
there. The woman talks about the weird
13:16
thing that happened to you with the artifact.
13:18
And then you have like a few choices.
13:21
Oh yeah, I had a vision. Or I don't want to talk about it
13:25
or some other bullshit. The The role-playing right off
13:29
the bat doesn't feel like it's. I don't feel like it's actually
13:33
me whenever I'm playing that, you know there's no it's it's
13:39
not all that that wonderful and I'm not that impressed with the
13:43
mining environment and I didn't feel, I don't feel the RPG part
13:48
of it either because first of all I don't see myself as a
13:53
minor. If they had it to where you like
13:56
woke up in a recruit room or something like that, and then
13:59
you went on to pick and do you want to go mine?
14:02
Do you want to go do this now? It gives you the idea that most
14:05
of your life you've been mining and running around breaking
14:09
rocks and shit like that and you could choose.
14:12
If you're already a part of one of these factions that you
14:16
supposedly will get introduced in the later in the game, the
14:22
role-playing value is right out. The window right off the bat.
14:26
Yeah, you can, The game tells you, according to all the
14:31
reviews. And show the people who do
14:33
manage to get it to work somehow, because they must have
14:36
a massive fucking computer. Is that you supposedly will at
14:42
some point in time, get to go run around the universe and do
14:45
all kinds of shit. I didn't manage to get that
14:47
fucking far. And I couldn't even get past the
14:51
the black guy talking to the Asian woman about the artifact
14:54
and her wanting credits. My ass ended up finding myself
15:00
in a pretty rough position because while they're talking,
15:05
suddenly a ship decides the land and a bunch of bad guys.
15:08
I don't know who the fuck they are.
15:10
I don't know why they are coming after us.
15:13
It's a pretty barren planet that I'm standing on.
15:16
The weather is shit conditions. But a ship comes down.
15:20
I don't know who these fucking people are, but apparently
15:24
they're all armed to the fucking teeth.
15:26
And if you're not, aren't Very easy, ladies and gentlemen, and
15:30
you're going through all that stuttering and that audio drop
15:33
out and the frame rate fucking sinking into the earth, Imagine
15:37
what it's like to take on 50 asshole supposed pirates coming
15:41
at you. You don't know what direction,
15:44
you don't know what's happening. There's people all over the
15:47
fucking screen. So it's not even like letting
15:51
you get a a taste of, you know, working your way into it.
15:54
You go from mine and shit to bam, all of a sudden you're in a
15:58
fucking space fight. Some people like that.
16:02
Some people liked it in Skyrim. When you're on a fucking broken
16:06
wagon, remember that the introduction was broken every
16:09
single time you played it. You finally get to a point where
16:13
you're about to be headed for some shit you didn't even do.
16:15
Some trumped up charges. You remember that wagon flying
16:19
all over the place with the fucking horse?
16:21
Well, that's Starfield. Remember they told you Starfield
16:25
was going to be Skyrim? Fallout in space?
16:28
Well, guess what it is? It's fucking broke until the
16:33
modders get in there and do something.
16:36
Oh, I noticed too that there's not very much variety for eyes
16:41
in the game. I could not find the Hazel blue
16:45
eyes like I was able to have them fall out.
16:48
If I do choose blue eyes, they're the pupils are gone.
16:52
I guess that's what a blind person's supposed to look like.
16:55
Why would a blind person be run around space?
16:58
I don't know. Unless they think they're Le
17:00
Ford's of Star Trek and you're wearing a fucking visor.
17:04
Maybe that makes sense, but not just to be walking around with
17:08
no fucking pupils and the rest of the colors are alien like.
17:12
That's fine, works. It's space.
17:15
But I think they should have some more human colored eyes.
17:21
So I'm in this battle. I managed to somehow through all
17:26
the stuttering, the freezing, a couple crashes and having to
17:30
restart from the point that I'm listening to these people moan
17:33
and bitch again going through that whole process.
17:37
I managed to take out these motherfuckers.
17:39
I'm through my patience and my love for Bethesda.
17:43
I took out all the pirates and I'm just about to go up to the
17:48
the black guy that came out the ship and we're about to have a
17:52
conversation. But I'm about 5 feet away from
17:55
him and my system crashes. And of course it's not saved.
18:00
It's not fucking saved. Through all that killing, I
18:03
didn't have an opportunity to save the game.
18:06
I was just happy that I managed to get through it, but now that
18:09
it crashed and there's no save, that means I got to start all
18:14
the way over again and take on that whole fucking battle.
18:16
Fuck you, is what I have to say about that bullshit.
18:20
Yeah, So what I did was that was the 50th time I crashed and this
18:29
was supposed to be a premium. I spent $100 to have a premium
18:35
version of Starfield so I could have Open Access to it five days
18:39
early before everybody else. I should have known, though.
18:44
Five days? Are you kidding me?
18:46
That's five days That's going to be buggy and crashy.
18:49
But those ain't going to get around the patch and that
18:51
anytime soon. So that's a loss of 50 fucking
18:54
dollars on my ass. The standard version?
18:58
60 fucking dollars. The premiums 100.
19:03
So you know what I did? Putting my hope and my faith
19:08
that Steam's not going to do me fucking wrong.
19:11
I end up sending a message over to their refund department.
19:15
I said I'm going to need my fucking money back.
19:18
That's bullshit. This is absolute fucking
19:21
horseshit. I want my money back.
19:25
Well, lucky for me, Steam actually gave me my money back.
19:28
I got $100. Apparently they've been getting
19:32
a lot of complaints. Oh, and get the Steam won't let
19:37
the premium users leave a review.
19:41
So I wasn't able to go leave a review on Steam and let people
19:44
know it's a fucking hot mess of garbage.
19:48
I wasn't able to do that. I wasn't able to warn people.
19:51
The only way I'm able to get out there and tell people is if I
19:54
get on Reddit or some of the many forums out there that are
19:57
complaining or make a fucking video like what I'm doing now.
20:01
Steam has made it to where no one's going to know until it's
20:05
too fucking late to say anything.
20:11
That's what social media is for. That's why Twitter is using
20:16
their ability to complain and bitch about all the problems
20:19
that are going on. And ladies and gentlemen, I
20:22
really wanted this game to work. I'm not the like a bitchy person
20:26
where I didn't expect. I don't expect my video game to
20:30
like gleam and shed ice cream. It doesn't have to be super
20:35
pretty for me, but one of the accusations or assertions made
20:40
about this game was it was supposed to be fantastic looking
20:44
fantastic. You wake up in a fucking cave,
20:48
It's garbage. Everybody's wearing the same
20:51
hazmat suit and it's the same piece of equipment.
20:57
How is this difficult on anybody's computer?
21:01
You walk out of an area after a load screen.
21:06
When you do your character creation, there ain't that much
21:08
shit going on. It's I Fallout 4 looks more
21:13
fancier on its character creation screen than this shit
21:16
does. The only thing that's different
21:19
about Starfield than Fallout 4 in Skyrim is the HUD interface
21:25
looks a little bit nicer. It looks more futuristic, but it
21:29
ain't nothing we ain't ever seen by modders already done.
21:33
This isn't like fucking revolutionary like what was
21:36
claimed and the low variety of hairs.
21:40
And on top of that, there's another thing you should know
21:43
too. It gives you the appearance that
21:45
there's a lot of skin tones. I wasn't able to get a like a
21:49
white powdery looking motherfucker in real life.
21:54
I've got white skin, but every skin is either tan or it goes
21:59
from tan to dark. There's no like, super white
22:02
skin and the variety of eyes are shut.
22:05
And only 20 hairstyles, really. 25 years, this is all you could
22:10
give me. And some of these hairstyles
22:14
ain't bad. And I like the way the texture
22:17
of the skin looks even though I'm not tan.
22:20
And I would think that if you're floating around in space all the
22:23
time or hanging out on Arctic planets, you know you wouldn't
22:28
be fucking tan, you know, unless they've got a tanning bed in
22:32
your fucking spaceship. I'm just saying I expected
22:37
better of them. I expected more variety.
22:42
And I'm afraid to think that if I do manage this somehow, if I
22:47
do go ahead and get the standard version later on after they say
22:51
they fixed a few bugs, which it'll be models that do that,
22:54
not the company. I'm concerned that I may get
22:58
onto a bunch of planets and it's just Dead Space where there's
23:03
nothing actually going on. And maybe, just maybe, I might
23:09
get like attacked with a bunch of fetch quest.
23:13
That's another thing that other people have been complaining
23:15
about before I shut this down. The very rare few people out
23:20
there who managed to get the game to actually work, they're
23:23
saying that when you walk through towns and areas, you're
23:27
going to be bombarded with quest.
23:29
How many fucking times did we say when we are playing Skyrim
23:33
and Fallout that we want to go at our own pace, that we are
23:38
living in the world? We shouldn't.
23:40
Suddenly when some fucking old lady walks past us mumbling some
23:45
bullshit and all of a sudden a quest show up on our quest
23:48
board, we should be going and looking for work.
23:53
We should be looking for things to do, not somebody's talking to
23:57
somebody that ain't even paying attention to us and we get a
24:00
fucking quest. You remember what happened in
24:04
Fallout when that happened? We have a little bitty pep Boy
24:08
on our hand. When we look at the Pep Boy, the
24:11
quest are so filled up that our Pep Boy is fucking glitching out
24:15
now and we can't even click on what we want to do in order to
24:19
track it. And the list is fragmented and
24:22
bouncing up and down because there's too many fucking quests
24:25
in the list and they didn't make enough room in the interface for
24:29
you to be able to compile all that garbage.
24:32
That's the reason why people made FUI as well as HUD
24:35
framework to try to figure out some shit.
24:39
That's why other people made DSDLC, timing mods to make it to
24:44
where all the shit doesn't just blow up in your mod.
24:47
The moment that you get into the fucking game, it's really
24:51
distracting. You're wanting to feel as though
24:55
you're in the apocalypse and you're alone and that life is
24:58
hard and it's a struggle. You're out in space.
25:02
Things are supposed to be tough. They're supposed to be a
25:04
struggle. Why would you in real life be
25:07
just walking through an area and there's a bunch of people
25:10
mumbling shit? You can't even hardly make them
25:13
out. And then suddenly, just out of
25:16
nowhere, magically quest start appearing into your fucking pip
25:19
boy. What's?
25:22
What's the difference? What are they doing different
25:27
than all the other times? And let's keep in mind too,
25:32
ladies and gentlemen, the last thing I got to say, if you were
25:35
to go over to Steam right now and try to download Fallout
25:38
Vegas or Fallout 3, their shit won't work either.
25:42
Even their older games. Not unless you go get some
25:45
optimization shit or put in special crap in your any files
25:50
or do some editing yourself that other people had to do in the
25:54
past in order to get that shit to work.
25:56
They still to this fucking day haven't fixed that.
26:01
Fallout 4 in Skyrim's about the best you're going to get at this
26:06
point, and that's because they've been around for almost
26:08
20 years and other people fix this shit.
26:12
All right, That's all I got to say, ladies and gentlemen, I'm
26:16
extremely disappointed. I wanted this game to work so
26:19
badly. I really wanted it to be that
26:23
game that I lived, breathed and died on.
26:27
But I can see now it's going to be another one of those pieces
26:30
of shit to take a year to get fixed.
26:34
And I think a lot of people's computers are going to get broke
26:36
because of this. Bethesda's gonna have a bad
26:41
reputation for this, I can tell you now.
