Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don't put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

I was so prepared to love this game today. Woke up early and fired it up almost two hours ago. It's crashed 5 times and I've only made about twenty minutes worth of progress into the intro.

I'm playing on a Series X. There's no reason for this type of bullshit.

Sure, it's a first world problem, but this has really set a bad tone for the day and this game in general.

I might try again later, but I'm probably already over it.

I've been running it on my series S for hours without a single crash - sounds like that might be something to do with your console

Where did it crash? I've been playing for 5 hours on a SX and it's been rock solid (of course usual Bethesda visual glitches slightly happen).

It sounds like your xbox is overheating or needs to be cleaned

But the Xbox OS isn't crashing. I just suddenly go back to the home screen, but trying to go back into Starfield relaunches the game. My kid said it was happening to him when he played earlier this week, but I thought he was just exaggerating because he's like that.

Here's where it crashed: #1: Saying goodbye to Lin. #2: Space pirates land (no combat yet) (I decided to quicksave after talking to Barrett) #3: Conversation after the pirate fight #4: Spaceship combat tutorial (2 ships)

And that's as far as I got in 2 hours.

I get the same crashes in the same places. On a windows 10 pc with less than current parts. I thought it was my aging machine.i have 82 minutes in game and may just refund.

I wouldn't even say anything if I was on PC, I'd just assume I wasn't up to spec (I've never had a high end machine, I'm used to it) but theres not much I can do to improve my series x.
