It’s been a few weeks since I last streamed on any of the platforms where I create content. The reason for this is that I’m currently playing Starfield, and Starfield does not run optimally on my PC. However, I am prioritizing playing it despite these issues. As many of you already know, content creation is not my primary source of income; as a result, I can prioritize games I want to play over those I can stream. I’ve encountered two major issues with Starfield since its release. The first is that it causes my graphics card drivers to timeout. Consequently, if I were to stream the game, I would constantly crash in the middle of the stream, resulting in a poor experience for viewers. This is particularly concerning because, supposedly, Starfield was optimized for AMD cards, and I have an AMD card. The second issue is that, for some reason, when I attempted to stream Starfield, it maxed out my CPU, causing dropped frames. Unfortunately, Starfield, while playable, is not suitable for streaming. Despite these issues, I am enjoying the game. I’ve already invested about 50 hours into it, and it’s a solid, enjoyable game. I plan to continue playing it a bit more, but I’m also eager to get back to streaming.
