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. If one does manage to get to anything resembling gameplay, their time is short as the game will crash to desktop within only a few minutes.

A lot of people.

Even where there’s no limits, if you use 100GB in a day or a few days time, you’ll get throttled.

I used to live in San Jose, the tech capital of the world. Comcast had a monopoly. Like there was literally no other option other than not having Internet. 1TB monthly data cap on all plans.

Unlimited costs extra, so I canceled my CATV & landline with them to make up the difference, LOL.

More than in 2005, sadly. And it’s all Comcast.
