Intel Arc Owners Left in the Cold With Starfield as Advanced Access Begins

Starfield Premium owners now have access to the game in full and are testing their internet download limits with its massive 120 GB file size, but a few hopeful gamers are going to have to wait regardless of how much they paid in advance. Intel Arc GPUs currently cannot play Starfield, with varying symptoms ranging from the game not starting to it taking 30-40 minutes before presenting the player with a jumbled cacophany of texture mayhem. Users report that the executable does launch in the background, and that during the half-hour that it's visible in Task Manager it can consume as much as 30 GB of system memory, before either crashing or finally presenting the game menu.

“Least buggiest Bethesda game to date”, they said 😂

CIWS-30,

Hey, if it has 1 to 3 less bugs than usual, it would technically be the least buggy Bethesda game. Isn't technically correct the best kind of correct?

Viking_Hippie,

Let me check the Futurama meme stash to be sure…

Yup! it would seem so!
