This mod bridges the gap between the game's implementation of FSR2 and other upscaling technologies.
No sharpening is included, however there is also no ReShade dependency.
How to install:
- Download the release corresponding to your desired upscaler (DLSS or XeSS).
- Extract it into the game directory. (After extraction, FSRBridge.asi/winmm.ini/winmm.dll should be right next to Starfield.exe)
- Download the matching DLL for your upscaler and place it in the same directory:
- DLSS: https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-dll/
Note: It's recommended that you download either the latest version (v3.5.0) or the last v2 version (v2.5.1).
- XeSS: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intel/xess/main/bin/libxess.dll
- Launch the game.
To get to your game directory:
- Xbox:
- Right click -> Click on 'Manage' -> Click on 'Files' -> Click on 'Browse...'
- Then go into the 'Starfield' folder, then 'Content' - you should now see 'Starfield.exe'.
- Steam:
- Right click on the game in your library -> 'Manage' -> Click on 'Browse local files...'
- You should now see 'Starfield.exe'.
How to configure:
- Enable FSR2 (which is now replaced by DLSS/XeSS) in the in-game settings.
- Use the regular in-game settings resolution slider to configure DLSS/XeSS.
How to set a custom preset override (new in v1.1.0, DLSS only):
- To use this, create a file called 'preset_override.txt' next to FSRBridge.asi with the letter of the preset you want to use, e.g. 'C' for preset C or 'F' for preset F.
- If the file is not found, it will fall back to the defaults specified by the DLSS 'Quality' mode. (Preset D)
Notes:
- As DLSS does not include a sharpening pass, the image will look a bit softer than native FSR2.
- If you do want an additional sharpening pass, you can install the newest version of ReShade yourself and use CAS - this should keep the Steam Overlay/Input working.
Troubleshooting:
- Q: "My game only renders the HUD and a gray(ish) screen!"
- A: You have not downloaded and extracted the upscaler DLL (nvngx_dlss.dll) and placed it into the game directory.
- Q: "I'm using the XeSS version and my game doesn't start!"
- A: You have not downloaded and extracted the upscaler DLL (libxess.dll) and placed it into the game directory.
Third-Party Libraries used:
