Starfield Texture Optimization Overhaul is a practical solution for enhancing your Starfield gaming experience. This mod is designed with a singular purpose to optimize the game's textures and make it more efficient without trying not compromising the original visual quality. Intelligent algorithms were used to work behind the scenes optimizing and compressing the textures to deliver you a smoother experience while being mindful of your system's VRAM usage. With this mod, you can expect a noticeable reduction in VRAM consumption, resulting in improved Overhaul game performance.

Give Starfield Texture Optimization Overhaul a try and experience a more responsive and efficient journey through the cosmos without losing the essence of the game's stunning visuals. It's a practical addition to your mod collection that simply makes sense.




  • TEXTURE OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES 
Advanced texture optimization techniques including lossless and lossy compression algorithms to reduce the size of in-game textures. 
These algorithms are designed to identify redundant or less critical texture data and compress it while preserving crucial visual elements.
Over 40,000+ texture files were cautiously optimized during this process.


  • VRAM MANAGEMENT
Effective VRAM management is essential for a seamless gaming experience. This mod optimizes texture usage to minimize VRAM consumption.

  • EFFICIENTE TEXTURE COMPRESSION
Texture compression in this mod involves the use of modern BCx codecs to achieve a balance between storage size and image quality.
These codecs offer various compression levels aiming to achieve higher compression ratios for improved performance.

  • MODDING FOR PERFORMANCE
When running this mod, You can expect a reduced strain system resources. CPU usage remains relatively unaffected, while GPU usage is more efficiently managed due to reduced VRAM consumption. Which results in a smoother and more responsive gameplay experience, even on systems with modest hardware.

[ * KEEP IN MIND THESE VALUES MAY CHANGE ACCORDING TO YOUR SETUP CONFIGURATION AND BASED ON YOUR GAME SETTINGS ]

You'll see better FPS gains if your graphics card is the limiting factor. In any case, these options will enhance game stability by reducing VRAM usage, reducing stuttering, and improving frame time stability. With minor visual loss depending on the version used.




1 - Extract the corresponding file you downloaded to your Starfield/Data main game folder.

2 - Inside your main game folder, locate Starfield.ini and open it.

3 - Locate the line ending with ''TexturesPatch.ba2''
add a comma and a space then insert the
name of the respective version you downloaded right after it:



For Balanced Mode:

Balanced Mode - Textures Part 1.ba2, Balanced Mode - Textures Part 2.ba2

For Performance Mode: 

Performance Mode - Textures.ba2

For Ultra Performance Mode:

Ultra Performance Mode - Textures.ba2


4 -
Save the file.



1 - Exclude the file inside Starfield/Data folder.
2 - Remove the lines previously added to your Starfield.ini inside your game directory.





1 - I can't see textures or they look black in-game. Why is that?
You probably will need to recompile your shaders.

2 - Which version is the right choice for me?
It all comes down to your system specifications. I would suggest that if you have more powerful GPU, the 1K pack should suffice.
However, if your GPU is not too strong you may find the other versions to be more suitable.

3 - I have ''x'' problem and I can't seem to fix it!?
You are free to contact me at anytime and I will be glad on knowing more about it.
