Captain @grammatolo makes a good point. If you are running SFSE the Beta may break your game. I previously removed SFSE to troubleshoot my menu fps drops and stutters.
So if you are going to use the Beta only mods that do not require SFSE (Creation Club Mods are fine) will work just fine with the Beta. Might be time for a load order refresh and a new NG+ for the next month or so?
As you were Captains.
o7 @grammatolo

I sort of had something that fixed it for me though without BGS..
So I use the crowdcitizens from creations that you do fork out some money.
After I installed that, it redressed and reworked all the citizens in Neon and other citizens, I only have the stutter in Neon, none of the others.
But in Neon it was unenjoyable, but still playable for me.
But with that mod .. boom no more of the issue..

So I’m leaning towards that its the crowds that is doing something.
Then again this may be a false positive.

I’ve not tested the beta’s as of yet to see if that removes the issue though.(cause it will break mods that “I cant play without”)(as you point out in your post that is dependent on SFSE)

I have a decent rig, if it was 2020! so yah not the best machine, but it looks and plays smooth enough for me overall.

I tried playing the beta update, and I am still having issues. Whenever I get into an area where there is an npc, the game stutters, open the dialouge the game stutters, the dialouge isn’t synced. I can play through the game, but constantly loading up the rest of the environment is the issue. The game naturally tries to put me on ultra settings based on my hardware. I can tell this is on their end or it’s Nvidia drivers, but yeah I can’t really play Bethesda games, other games work. I would be okay with this if it was me pushing the game too hard like I do with Skyrim or OG oblivion. But this is just the game not being optimized like they should. I don’t think Microsoft cares to let them fix it, and they may not want to see Bethesda continue to flounder their games. They may be trying to push them and their development out the door. I don’t think I ever would think of a day an Elder Scrolls game releases, and it just works. But it may be on the horizon.

Im so happy i waited on getting shattered space. I probably wouldve ripped my game apart if i thought it was mods

damn I’ve never ever had this issue, didn’t even know it was a thing lol. I guess I was lucky, but yeah.. hmmm..

Thanks for this review. Looking forward to the update on console 😊

I never noticed the problem and didn’t see you showing it in this video. is my brain just stutter proof?

I am so happy the stutter has gone, just need a huge content drop to satisfy my Starfield needs

I confirm Starfield Engine Fixes solves the stutters problem in Cydonia and Well. Simply turn on function bEngineLoadOptimizer. I don’t know why author didn’t do it by default.

I’m just pissed that they still haven’t fixed the bug that stops the ECS Constant from leaving Paradiso’s orbit after you setup the ship with a grav drive.

I mean it only took like 7 months. Crazy they couldn’t or wouldn’t get something out sooner. There are still a lot of things that new optimizing, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Good that they’ve fixed some of the stutters. But did they fix the traversal stutter? Some planets chug even on a brand new 9800x3d.

oh my god my game is so heavily modded it didn’t even occur to me that those microstutters were a game-level problem. They were literally making me feel insane to the point where I stopped playing too lmaooo. thanks for the heads up and the testing.

I’m on xbox x this is great news thank you for the info I’m all into making starfield better love this game!

This is great news regarding the stuttering I was starting to avoid Akila and New Atlantis for that reason, I don’t know if there is something more to it in my game though I was getting enhanced amounts of stuttering when ships landed, it made me notice how often they land and how it was adding to my anxiety rather than immersion. Unfortunately I’d want to hold off until many of my SFSE mods update, I’ve worked for months on this load order and it’s reasonably stable so happy to wait. Love that ship by the way, I know that one is out of our reach right now but would love to fly it. Which mod for the outfit by the way?

The ”starfield engine fixes” mod on nexus has an option that fixed the stuttering for me, for those who have this problem but don’t want to install the update yet.

Man….. after over 6 .onths of nothing….. this is…. it???…. this is like Trump doing trade deals😅😂

Ironically i didnt have a stutter problem till this update.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been playing the oblivion remake, but your channel popped up and now I wanna give Starfield another chance lol

Time to fix writer’s brain

I’m soo happy that they fixed the Stutter in the well and other places. I remember contacting Bethesda support late last year about it but it’s taken them over 6 months to fix. It was very bad on xbox but i’m happy now it’s fix

And fps drops?

Sista, in your video you say the beta update is safe for mods but I don’t think that’s quite true. On PC a lot of players use SFSE, the script extender — just like SKSE in Skyrim. SFSE and the associated Address Library won’t update until 1-3 days after the official patch is released. If you use SFSE, the beta will make your save file temporarily unplayable, won’t it?

Thankfully i haven’t seen the stutter issue for a while (after using the ini file fix), but I’m glad that it is getting fixed for people that still suffer from the issue.

I’m also taking this as a good sign that we will see more frequent updates again and a major content update/expansion soon!

I dont quite unnderstand why you say 4060 with that much emphasis, its a low end card

Good News. I hope the May update means we will get another DLC soon.

Glad they are working on optimization. I think they lack of new content with this patch also means we are getting a huge release in june

Nah I never had the stutter issue. Maybe it’s something to do with large save files

Good to know. Thanks for the research and trying out the beta patch so i guess i just have now to wait a little 🙂

Thank you so much for talking about this. It was so infuriating seeing Reddit posts on this issue in the past and everyone had their own made up solution, such as disable this mod, disable that mod etc. It’s great to see a dedicated video on this issue and confirming that it wasn’t mod related at all, but entirely related to shattered space, and i’m SO HAPPY this has been fixed and I can go back to playing.

Great update vid Sista. Will this beta update cause issues for existing mods that we have installed? Favor, can you post a list of the parts you used for your ship you show about 2:40. All I can say is WOW! You are in Premier Level of Shipbuilding! Stuttering fix is huge for all fans! Thx

I’m shocked people still play this Game it’s so dull it has 16 times the loading screens.

For me, on series X, I have a bad crashing issue I hope is fixed on here.

I’ve done all suggested fixes/troubleshooting. Even going as far as factory resetting my Xbox. I’m down to one solution, buying a new Xbox.

So I’m hoping this patch fixes that issue for me. Cause I really love the game, but having to quick save that often is such a terrible experience, and the crashing being too frequent or bad. I don’t like seeing my Xbox hard shutdown.

Bear in mind, starfield is the only game that has done this for me. Played KCD2 and had one crash from beginning to end.

Even my 4080 Super struggles in some areas. Might try the update once I spend a few hours figuring out my load order.

Yay! I can stop troubleshooting my stuttering on Xbox. Thanks !

I was hoping they would fix major quest breaking bugs for the Crimson fleet but no they grab that obscure List minor excuse for a quest that no one cares about to fix

Lolz. My first take of your title was “Bethesda fixed the SHUTTERS” I’m thinking wow, umm finally. 🙂

There is a PC mod taht fixes teh stutter .. it is ‘Starfield Engine Fixes – SFSE’. It obviously requries SFSE and is PC only. Because I have SFSE, I also can’t try teh beta without breaking my save.

Didn’t know Starfield had a stuttering issue

Thank You Sister! you are my go to for this game that I love so! o7

Gotta love some more Starfield bug/issue fixes. Will have to check out some of those bounty fixes, I’ve had problems completing some of them.

I stop going to the major city alot

Yes!

lol i wish i have microstutter on Xbox… its 1sec stutter at some places ..horrible

Thank you sis.

Stutters are probably related to lack of VRAM, your 4060 of the 8Gb variety being the culprit.

Mods can bring me all the content, BGS can work on bug fixes, works for me 😉

Thankfully, I never experienced that stutter, modded or unmodded. I have an ROG Strix laptop with a 4070 and Ryzen 9 7845HX, 32gigs of RAM. I guess if Bethesda is patching it, it was on their end. Glad you guys are getting a fix though!

I’m also happy about the new Very Low graphics options. I was able to compose a compromising mix from the medium, low and very low settings that seems to hit my FPS target most of the time on the system I play the game on.

I’m just worried the update is going to break some of my mods😬

I haven’t been experiencing any stutters.

Thanks for the news! I only get stutter on planets surface when exploring

Thanks for testing and reporting to us Sista! It’s great to see someone actually using the update and not just reading to us.😄 Did all of your mods work? Also are you still using SFSE which stopped the stutter before the update? Great work!

Thank you for the great news.

Now I have the old issue where I cannot dock at the Key during the Crimson Fleet storyline. Sigh…

Interesting. I never had stutters so this is new. I’m happy they fixed it because stutters drive me crazy.

Good morning, Sista! I couldn’t like this vid for some reason. Now to see if that nasty stutter is gone in the Entangled mission. Generally, all those floating distortions kill my cpu. I’ve been running with reduced crowds recently to help with some of the other areas so this is great news! (Never mind, the like went through, was just here early, lol)

It is about time I was starting to wonder if they were abandoning the game it has been so long since we heard anything about Starfield. I admit I have not been playing it for a bit now both due to waiting to hear more about updates and I have been playing Oblivion a lot. I will dive back in soon though.
