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.

Edit: SteamDeckHQ made an article covering the mod and it's improvements. Their findings were:

Compared to the stock version of the game, there have been some fantastic gains. With this version of the mod, I saw no drops below 30 FPS and some spots gaining about 5-8 FPS improvements overall. Without any TDP limits, it seems a stable 30 is finally possible with this mod, and I couldn't be happier.

your shitting me. I can play starfeild on the deck? How?! Those system requirements were not small.

Compared to other recent releases they kind of were. Also the decks screen resolution and refresh rate is adequate for its performance.

One reason may Bethesda deciding not to implement Denuvo. On the other hand, they sure will rely on the community fixing the rest of the mess lol, although the first gameplay videos make the game look surprisingly polished imo.

I'm considering buying Starfirld after I finish Baldurs Gate 3, for the sole reason of Bethesda not implementing denuvo, if they had done it 10/10 would have pirated it.

They've been relying on community patches since Morrowind dropped 20 years ago.
