The Starfield<\/em> modding group responsible for October’s Community Patch prepared two years in advance for the game thanks to experience with Bethesda’s previous titles. However, it wasn’t enough, and they are now facing a backlog of bugs that are becoming increasingly difficult to fix without official modding toolkits.<\/p>
Since Starfield<\/em> launched two months ago in early September, players have experienced performance issues, game crashes, and so many bugs that modders have had to step in to fix them\u2014and Oct. 24’s Community Patch<\/a> aimed to remedy the bulk of these issues.<\/p>

But without an official modding toolkit or support, they’re struggling to keep up with even more issues encountered in Starfield<\/em>, as first reported by Eurogamer<\/a> on Nov. 6.<\/p>
Besthesda devs revealed a planned performance patch of their own on Nov. 1 and discussed how it would fix several issues plaguing players since launch, but fans weren’t impressed as the modding community had already fixed these<\/a>. <\/p>
But this proves, once again, that there’s an overreliance on modders<\/a> to solve the dev’s problems. Even now, when players want something added or changed, the common phrase is “I hope there will be a mod for this,” because players know the chances of Bethesda adding these changes in a shorter time frame is very slim.<\/p>
