Potato PC Settings
This is for people who are near the minimum requirement for Genesis but still want to play and don’t mind sacrificing visual fidelity. It is assumed you followed the instructions over at General Lag before coming here. I will not repeat the same stuff.
- ABSOLUTELY MAKE SURE YOU HAVE AN 80 GB PAGE FILE
- Enable the Curated Optimization Patch mod in the Optional section of the modlist (reduces VRAM usage by around ~2 GB)
- Download the Starfield Performance BOOST mod (Manual Download) and drag the ini files into your Starfield game folder (\steamapps\common\Starfield)
Downscaling Textures (Extreme)
Before doing this portion of the guide, please read this short guide if you’ve never used Mod Organizer 2 before. If you ask a question in the discord that’s clearly answered in this guide, then I’m just going to link this guide to you anyway.
- Reduced Texture Detail This is the most up to date texture downscaler out right now for Starfield. It downscales ALL textures in Starfield, so your game will noticeably get uglier. Put the zipped file in the downloads folder inside Genesis and then install through Mod Organizer 2
