Mod for Starfield that significantly improves performance, uses a combination of engine tweaks, compressed texture assets, and more.
Reportably gives pretty good 40fps results in non-demanding areas, and helps hit 30fps in demanding areas.
Unfortunately due to replacing many assets, the mod file size is huge (~7GB), but the author is preparing the download to be available through other file hosting services for people who don’t have Nexus mod premium for the faster download speed.
Alright, I was probably going to play it anyway even with dips down to the low 20s. But if we're not even at the full release yet and the modding scene is already squeezing more out of that bottom 1%, I'm just biting the bullet and paying the damned game.
For anyone in the same boat, Fanatical is selling the pre-release versions of the game for 17% off, packaged with a random "highly rated" Steam game.
Reventure is an absolute joy to play through, I highly recommend you try it out when you get a chance.
It's very likely to become my most recent "doesn't need all my attention" game, as I always need one of those on deck (if you'll pardon the expression).
Mods that actually support Linux natively is cool to see
incredible that the modding community can make something like this within a week of launch and yet bethesda couldn’t make it in 7 years
I was expecting to have to see if I could tolerate streaming, but I'll definitely have to give the default and this a try before resorting to that.
Been using this mod. It’s scaled down textures and a few ini tweaks - appears to be with draw distance and lod. Seems to work well enough until patches come out.
