Starfield Is Seemingly Missing Entire Stars (the local 'sun') When Running On AMD Radeon GPUs
Reddit users have discovered a new bug in Starfield where the game won't render entire stars when running on an AMD Radeon GPU.
So a user on Reddit posted on the Starfield subreddit that there was a problem in Starfield when running the game on an AMD Radeon GPU. The issue is very simple, the game just won't render a star in any solar system when you are at the dayside of a moon or even any planetary object. The issue only occurs on AMD Radeon GPUs and users with the Radeon RX 7000 & RX 6000 GPUs are reporting the same thing.
The issue is that the dayside of any planetary body or moon needs a source of light that gets it all lit up. That source is the star and on any non-AMD GPU, you will see the star/sun in the sky box which will be illuminating light on the surface. But with AMD cards, the star/sun just isn't there while the planet/moon remains illuminated without any light source.
So they just get Field?

Some more conclusions as we get more data from other users:
-
On some 6 and 7 Series AMD cards, it works just fine -
Few Nvidia Cards also have this issue -
Xbox seems not affected
Hhhhmmmm so it's not so much AMD specific as it is something that happens under conditions that are more likely to happen under AMD I guess. Interesting.

I linked to the article I found it, but included the reddit post below from u/Yoraxx.
I've honestly been too busy looting useless shit to even notice.
AMD literally gave away Starfield as a promotion for this line of graphic cards. This error is just embarrassing to let slip. I guess I'll hold off on playing this game until I hear the issue is resolved.
