When Starfield launched earlier this month, two of the immediate complaints about the game were that it didn’t support Nvidia’s DLSS instead opting to use AMD’s FSR technology, and it didn’t include an FOV. Thankfully the community fixed those problems quickly, with multiple FOV slider mods for Starfield appearing within the first days of the game’s release. A DLSS mod was also created by PureDark, who went on to lock the DLSS 3.5 version behind a paywall, making over $40,000 in the process before it was cracked.
In a recent post, Bethesda laid out the future plans for Starfield, noting that it will be supported for many years to come with no content and updates. The first hotfix update, which is available now, addresses many performance issues, with future updates adding a FOV slider for both console and PC and native Nvidia DLSS support for the PC version of the game. Here are the main additions that will be added in future updates.
- Brightness and Contrast controls
- HDR Calibration Menu
- FOV Slider
- Nvidia DLSS Support (PC)
- 32:9 Ultrawide Monitor Support (PC)
- Eat button for food
And here is everything addressed relating to fixing performance and gameplay issues in today’s update.
Performance and Stability
- Xbox Series X|S Improved stability related to installations.
- Various stability and performance improvements to reduce crashes and improve framerate.
Quests
- All That Money Can Buy: Fixed an issue where player activity could result in a quest blocker.
- Into the Unknown: Fixed an issue that could prevent the quest from appearing after the game is completed.
- Shadows in Neon: Fixed an issue where player activity could result in a quest blocker.
It is great to see Bethesda address these complaints just days after the game was released, with Starfield becoming Bethesda’s biggest launch in history with over six million players within its first week. Bethesda also noted that they are working on a built-in mod support platform similar to what they did with Skyrim and Fallout 4 and it is still on track to be released in early 2024.
