REMOVE SHADOWS AND GTAO – medium settings (RX570 and RX580 crashes)
This mod disables shadow casting and GTAO(Ambient Occlusion) for most of the objects in the game. MEDIUM Settings.
After hours and hours of troubleshooting WHY Starfield keeps crashing (tried all solutions suggested online) THIS was the solution.
The game crashes especially for RX570 and RX580 videocards on occasions in Starfield, but always anywhere in Akila City.
lowEgg made a Low.ini file to replace the default file – saving the day, hero of the month.
I made a Medium.ini file based on his to replace the default Medium file, bringing more detail, but without the shadows and GTAO.
The use of this file is originally “If you want to extra boost performance on a low end PC/Laptop then this mod might help you with that.”
The use of this file is specifically if you keep getting random game crashes (not your PC or OS) and not being able to solve it with all available solutions provided online – this could be your solution as it has been for RX570/RX580 users.
INSTALLATION
Create a back-up of your file Medium.ini in your main game directory(Example: steamapps/common/Starfield) steamapps/common/Starfield.
Extract the file Medium.ini into your main game directory(Example: steamapps/common/Starfield) and overwrite.
I have tested the file, played for an hour in/around Akila City and did not have any crashed anymore.
I could not fix the lighting issue in this Medium.ini with;
