INI Tweaks Collected
Lists of useful changes you can apply to your StarfieldCustom INI file, with some extras.
Setup
– Go to this location in your Documents folder: MyGames/Starfield
– Open (or create if missing) StarfieldCustom.ini.
– For each tweak, add its category (the thing in square brackets) if missing then the actual tweak below it.
FOV
[Camera]
fFPWorldFOV=x
fTPWorldFOV=x
The first one is for first person, 2nd is for third person. Replace the x with the desired value.
Anisotropic Filtering
[Display]
fMaxAnisotropy=16
The game uses anisotropic filtering set to 4 by default, which looks awful and brings no performance improvement over 16. This solves it and no you cannot go higher.
Archive Invalidation
[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=
This is required if you want to use mods that replace vanilla Data content, such as Neutral LUTs (recommended).
Message of The Day
[General]
bEnableMessageOfTheDay=0
Disables the Message of The Day on the game’s main menu, the thing at the corner.
Always Active Window
[General]
bAlwaysActive=1
Allows the game to keep running while it’s not in focus.
Normalized Sensitivity
[Controls]
fMouseHeadingXScale=1.0
fMouseHeadingYScale=2.0
Makes sensitivity scaling on the X and Y axis the same.
No Boost Shaking
[Display]
bPilotCameraShakerEnabled=0
Removes the camera shaking while you boost with the ship.
Game Settings Tweaks
Download the GSTweaks.txt file in this page’s Files section, then apply this INI edit to make the game to load it:
[General]
sStartingConsoleCommand=bat GSTweaks
Removes the lens flare effect and extends the lifespan of gun shells on the ground. You can edit the file in a text editor if you want either option to be gone or to add your own.
Faster Sleep/Wait
In the GSTweaks.txt file, you can add this line to double the speed of sleeping and waiting.
setgamesetting iSecondsToSleepPerUpdate 3599
This is not part of the original file because a better solution could be implemented with SFSE, while also fixing a bug (if the amount of time selected is equal or smaller than the GS value, time won’t progress).
