What Does This Mod Do?
- Compresses textures & files with a technique good for slower SD cards & HDD enabling better texture streaming, load times, & 1% lows
- Reduces texture size as to not exceed the Steam Deck's VRAM & to reduce bad frametimes caused by getting near it, improving 1% lows
- Increases fluidity of interactions & animations to 40fps, enabling a smoother experience
- Lowers settings not exposed in the menu & lowers existing settings in the menu further, improving both GPU & CPU perf. Increasing AVG FPS across the board
Disclaimer: You must switch to a different preset then back to the one you want in game for the changes to take effect after applying the ini tweaks

Installation
1. Put the files inside "Starfield Directory" in Starfield's main game directory
2. Put the files inside "Documents" in your documents folder, the same folder where StarfieldPrefs.ini is
3. Delete your shader cache for Starfield in all locations (or the texture mod may cause your game to not render properly. If you do not know how to do this/won't then just install every tweak except the SDTexturesFull.ba2. If you've already done it and this happens then remove that file to uninstall it to fix the issue)
