The times it takes for 'QA' to approve creations or updates is way too long

I think Bethesda are shooting themselves in the foot with their current long times to approve any updates.

For example, today a new version of DownfallNemesis' "New Atlantis Waterfall Promenade Apartment" was released.

The changelog/history shows that she uploaded it to Bethesda already on June 24th:

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/3a6cb93b-1b57-4bf4-80dd-cd6b08658f87/New_Atlantis_Waterfall_Promenade_Apartment/history

This is nearly 2 months.

Same with the update to "The Eye Revised", submitted to Bethesda on June 13th:

https://creations.bethesda.net/en/starfield/details/ade5ccba-0cf9-4aaf-92ab-f1f9c1ee44c2/The_Eye_Revised/history

Can any of the developers of paid mods can give some insight why this takes so long? And what Bethesda is actually doing in the QA phase? Do you get any feedback? List of issues/bugs to fix?

Edit: My main issue with this is not just the frustration of waiting for updates as a user, but also that it creates the impression of a near-dead Creation scene. As if most devs of paid mods had given up (very few updates, very few new mods), where in fact they may be busy but just waiting for QA to approve.

Bethesda Creations and GeForce Now - will subscribing to more storage allow to keep mods?

Hey,

I use GeForce Now since about 2 years, and it works fine most of the time. One minor issue is modding in Skyrim, Fallout and Starfield.

While we can download mods from the in-game Creations store, and it works fine during the session, we need to download the mods again and again, each session, because between sessions they are deleted. It's not a big issue, but depending on the load order, it can take up to 10 minutes (in which I also need to move the controller a bit, so the session does not end due to inactivity).

I now saw that we can add an additional subscription for storage, like 500 GB or 1 TB. Would this help, i.e. would the mods downloaded from the in-game store be stored between sessions?

Stuck in boot screen after kernel update to 7.0.11

[SOLVED] Updating the Nvidia driver from 580 to 595 (sudo apt install nvidia-driver-595) solved the problem.

Original thread:

Yesterday I installed some updates on my PC, incl. a kernel update, which is now 7.0.11-76070011-generic.

During boot, the splash screen comes up, but only in a low-res version. It's not possible to press any keyboard shortcuts to see the full boot process/log. With one exception: Only one single time I managed to force a reboot by pressing CTRL + ALT + DEL, which for just a few seconds showed the boot process/log where I could see that the last started process (where it stuck) was GDM with a green [ok].

For now, I always must press ESC to get the boot menu and select the old kernel version, then it boots successfully.

I tried checking the log files, but nothing out of the ordinary was to be found there.

Edit: I'm using the Nvidia driver which comes with Pop! OS. Should I remove it and re-install it as suggested here: https://system76.com/support/articles/login-loop-pop ?

Edit 2: I think I use GDM instead of Cosmic Greeter, because when I installed Cinnamon I read it's needed for that, for I actually don't remember (maybe it was also just because GDM looks nicer)

Edit 3: For testing, I switched back to Cosmic Greeter. The only change is that now at least I can get a console (TTY2 etc.) where I can log in, but it still does not bring me to the graphical log in screen.

EDIT 4: Okay, it must definitely be the Nvidia driver. It does not load in 7.0.11. I noticed this after switching on boot messages. With that I saw that the service I had created for reducing the power limit of my Nvidia card to 260 W failed to start, and it failed to start because nothing Nvidia-related was loaded in 7.0.11.

And the reason for that ... seems to be that the 580 driver (the one installed by Pop! OS) is too old for kernel versions 7+ or at least unstable? I read that users go back to kernel version 6.x when using Nvidia. Hm.

Edit 5: Ok, I now try to install the 595 drivers (the ones supported by Pop! OS, using apt). We'll see how it goes...
