Most frustrating buggy broken game I have seen in years.
Did these guys make a bet with Bethesda about who could make the most broken game and still sell it?


The game seemed fine until after making my char and trying to play it.
After following the instructions from the Pin support the game nolonger even launches.
After launching from the exe in files it was the same old dance game CTD after making charcter.

After shutting down every program onm computer including explorer.exe I have narrowed it down to 2 problems. Its either the game hates controllers or its Nvidia as Nvidia can not access it adjust visuals but resetting it in Nvidia and using Keyboard and mouse at least gets me in the game with no access to online features or multiplayer. sigh wtf. anyone have any advice on how to fix this game?

What OS do you use?

I get a "Nvidia graphics chips are not officially supported" message whenever I open the game. That may just be Mac ones though, since I heard Apple and Nvidia had a falling out.

Although, the only graphical problem I seem to have is square shaped lighting issues in inside areas like caves and, yes, the starting spot.

EDIT: Update to this: Seems my OS version was part of it. Upgrading to Catalina fixed most of that in the starter ship. I haven't checked a cave yet as I'm starting fresh.


As for Online features, what does it show in the Gameplay section of your options, at the top, when you use Keyboard & Mouse? On mine there is a Multiplayer section where I have it set to Offline, but its changeable.

First off, this is 100% a problem on your end, not the game. If this issue was posted all over this forum thousands of times, you might be able to blame the game, but it’s not a massively common issue, so that indicates an issue on your end. What that issue is remains to be seen.

First off, have you done the usual troubleshooting steps of first verifying the game cache, then reinstalling if that fails? Have you then tried to make sure your drivers are up to date? Basic things like this can cause issues with programs running on your machine. Also worth making sure you’re running sufficient specs for what the game demands. I mention these things because you didn’t say anything about them yourself.

There’s more advanced things like making sure your power settings aren’t throttling your hardware and stuff like that.
Upgrade your potato PC, this game plays flawlessly and has for years.

After 700 hours, don't think I've ever experienced an issue with the game with the exception of maybe trying some mods here and there.
100% the error(s) is on your end.

And I think by default the game is set to Offline, you can change that in settings > Gameplay.
