I'm sure this has been asked a hundred times in the past but I'm just after some guidance as a new player.

I'm playing immersive without gear score etc.

Do I play the missions in order? I've been exploring the map and triggered mission 3 before I finished mission 1. Is this okay or should I avoid it?

Weapons. I had to look online about weapons and from what I could see picking up weapons is pointless. Just look for blueprints and then build your own. Is this correct? I have been dismantling weapons I find in chests and just saving credits to build weapons at the store. It seems strange to not use weapons you find. Am i wrong?

Wildlands seemed a little more intuitive to play but im enjoying breakpoint so far

My old gaming pc is at my place its ancient in pc terms:

I5 4460

16gb Ram

SSD

1660ti

Played through an old 1080p 50 inch tv

My new pc at my girlfriends is objectively better in every way

I5 1440f

16gb Ram

M.2 SSD

Rtx 3050 8gb

Played through a 1080p gaming monitor

I know neither are powerhouse pcs in anyway but my old one has done me well over the years playing fallout, skyrim, the Witcher etc one med/high 60fps so why does my new one seem worse when playing games?

Games look worse on the same settings, images are blurry, edges look rough and they just feel not as good.

Planet crafter for example on my old pc happily runs along at 60ish fps on med/high on my tv, smooth with my processor and gpu on about 50% usuage each

The same game on the same settings on my new pc maxes out the gpu 100%, with the cpu hardly used, lags, freezes and stutters and it just looks worse with blurry and jagged images when im playing on my new set up.

Drivers are updated, resolution is set correctly in settings and Nvidia control panel, scaling is set to 100%.

Am i missing something? Im not interested in AAA new games but i thought this new one would play everything my old one could easily enough.

I have just started the game after hearing good reviews.

I'm only about an hour in but so far I've got stuck on invisible ledges about four or five times.

Went out to find organic. Found a ledge that needed a grappling hook. Wasted time going back to base to craft one because I didn't have the resources to do it.

Went back out to see if I could find a way around the ledge to get organic and found some rapidium i think its called. A pop-up told me to harvest that so I did but then my inventory was full.

Then the radiation alarm started blaring so i tried to run back to base but found the organic so the scanner tutorial popped up so tried doing that quickly but the radiation was going up so abandoned that.

Got halfway to base then got stuck in the floor again and died of radiation.

Should I start again and be more efficient with my time?

Is getting stuck in the scenery common?

As first impressions go don't really like rushing around being on a time limit when I'm learning a new game and being stuck in the scenery doesn't help either.
