Many users express disappointment with the game's graphical quality, and while some report satisfactory experiences, frustrations are prevalent. Koei Tecmo acknowledged issues with FPS drops and model rendering when using the Ultra graphics preset and suggested lowering the graphics settings and FPS limit as a temporary solution.

Starfield promises it still exists as silence drives fans to space-madness, but it mostly just annoys everyone: ‘They are deliberately choosing not to communicate more’

Baldur's Gate 3 has become a monumental success, attracting tens of thousands of players daily, while Starfield's user review score on Steam has dropped to a mixed 58%. Bethesda has acknowledged fan impatience regarding updates for Starfield but has provided little specific information about future content.

Steam users react ecstatically to update that lets them access their heaving game notes via the web, also it fixes Monster Hunter Wilds video recording

Valve has updated the Steam client to enhance the Game Notes feature, allowing users to access their notes via the web without needing to be part of the Steam beta. Notes created in both beta and non-beta versions are now visible in a new Notes section. The community response has been positive, with users expressing excitement on the r/Steam subreddit. However, there are suggestions for improvement, as the current interface is minimalistic and lacks options to create new notes directly from the web. Additionally, the update addresses issues related to game recording and video streaming in Monster Hunter Wilds, adds support for the 8BitDo Micro gamepad, and improves notification displays for in-progress achievements.
