THOSE BITCHES OF SONS

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

they love how modders fix their games to make the sales longevity go for years....

Spoiler

they love them so much they leave the same bugs in the re-release and add more.

 

[March Climber]

Bethesda:

 

[Unknown Soldier]

That modder makes DLSS mods which cost money, just so you know. He doesn't do it for free.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

lol that's one way of doing it

[TransTrender]

I don't like Bethesda.


I'm in favor of this

 

[Lethal01]

That modder makes DLSS mods which cost money, just so you know. He doesn't do it for free.

And yet, it is free.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Is he getting paid for doing an ungodly amount of programming work for the largest software company on earth?

 

[EDMIX]

lol, they like

"work your magic my boi"

 

[Kenpachii]

Fucking AMD and there shitty contracts.

 

[EDMIX]

Fucking AMD and there shitty contracts.

I mean, I'm rocking a 6950, but I'm in the middle of another build with a 4090, but I agree.

Nevermind fuck AMD, fuck Bethesda and MS for even excepting such a deal. I'm sure my 6950 build will run the game just fine, everything ultra, but still...I hate the feeling of knowing getting a 4090 build up and running will have features missing based on some dumbass deal with AMD.

Keep in mind, I'm sure those with 4090s and shit will be just fine, still feel such deals should really be happening in the hardware space like this.

 

[DeaDPo0L84]

It will be available day 1 of early access too which is awesome. Whoever works for Bethesda that leaked the review code is the real champ, AMD is legit terrible. Can't wait to play the non-creative version in all it's glory.

 

[TLZ]

What's the AMD story? I don't get it.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

What's the AMD story? I don't get it.

AMD sponsored, so no dlss...

 

[coffinbirth]

A copy of Starfield, duh.

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

LOL this was a smart way to get AMD's money and still get DLSS support

What's the AMD story? I don't get it.

AMD paid Bethesda to exclude DLSS/XeSS and only support FSR

This is some next level sneak 100 contract dodging fuckery.

 

[Dacvak]

Well that paid off, AMD.

 

[Kilau]

 

[Vox Machina]

Smart as fuck on Bethesda's part IMO.

 

[Mister Wolf]

DLSS and Frame Generation should be available in every game.

 

[GetInTheRobot]

They probably can't release one themselves contractually...so have a modder do it. respect.

 

[DeadMansParty]

I'm sure he's happy with his $70 reward and countless hours of inevitable work

I'll buy it at launch. Then I'll neg it if it doesn't have DLSS. Then refund.

 

[adamsapple]

That's one way to circumvent vendor partnership

 

[Sleepwalker]

Fair play, Todd, fair play.

 

[HoodWinked]

absolutely diabolical,

reminds me of this scene from The Wire where a compromise is made but the rules are still upheld.

 

[demented waffle]

That's one way to circumvent vendor partnership

Or they could be like Sony and tell them to fuck off?

 

[Silver Wattle]

AMD just needs to admit defeat and allow official support, if even bethesda is circumventing the agreement, you might as well modify the agreement.

 

[Robb]

That's pretty funny. Well played Todd.

 

[TrueGrime]

Nice play. Support the community that supports your game, and in a lot of cases, can make it better.

 

[Grildon Tundy]

Where does it say he will release the mod at launch? I couldn't access the Reddit link.

 

[hlm666]

Hope the review copy was not a steam only one, would be amusing if the final twist was the dlss mod not working on the microsoft store/gamepass version.

 

[TheGreatMusashi]

 

[DenchDeckard]

Based Todd

 

[Gen.Grievous]

Bit weird that Microsoft just can't say to AMD we include whatever we want. I mean Sony releases their AMD sponsored PC ports with DLSS included and those games won't even sell a million copies.

 

[Esppiral]

Can someone explain me how that modder was implementing DLSS 3 to starfield before having access to the game? Thanks.

 

[Ozriel]

FYI, he's stated on Reddit that he didn't get a code, but his comments that he'd have the mod ready day one is because he already has the workflow complete for adding it to dx12 games.

He's also said on Discord the mod won't be free.

LMAO his other DLSS mods were not free, imagine thinking this one would be

 

[Gudji]

Bethesda devs: "I ain't got time to deal with this DLSS shit".

This should be added to OP. Eveyone can stop praising the greedy modder and Bethesda now. Mods should be free yet he asks for money. Scumbag.

 

[Black_Stride]

Big brain move to capitalize on the controversy.

Is he getting paid for doing an ungodly amount of programming work for the largest software company on earth?

His mods arent free, so he will be getting money either which way.
And hes done this mod so many times most of the code is totally reusable.
Its not an ungodly amount of programming.

How dare he make money from his own work?

 

[darrylgorn]

Call me in 10 years after all the mods and patches make the game good.

 

[Senua]

Not the first time Bethesda has relied on the community to fix their games, won't be the last!

 

[Setsuna Mudou]

Fucking AMD and there shitty contracts.

Yeah, I'm sure poor little microsoft could barely scrap a couple of bucks to finish the game if it wasn't for some AMD sponsorship...

Fucking seriously lol...

Do you think you need DLSS with a 4090 to run a game made to run on the Series S?
