About this mod

This mod is based on lowEgg's remove shadows and GTAO mod, but only changes the four lines of the Low.ini file pertaining to crashes on 580/590 cards. It should "hopefully" minimize crashing in cities without sacrificing as much visual fidelity. TLDR: I fiddled around with a notepad file until my crashing stopped and want to upload it for others.

Permissions and credits
Installation: 

1. Extract low.ini to your game's data directory 
2. When in the start menu, go to "Display Settings" swap graphics to low (if it's already on low swap it to the medium preset then back to low again")
3. From the low preset, change any of the settings you want EXCEPT Shadow Quality AND Contact Shadows. These two settings must remain on low to prevent crashing. 
4. Enjoy.

Based on lowEgg's mod here: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/410?tab=description

Lines Changed from original Low.ini

uShadowMapCount1024=16
uShadowMapCount512=44
uShadowMapCount256=128
uShadowMapCount128=128

changed to

uShadowMapCount1024=4
uShadowMapCount512=4
uShadowMapCount256=2
uShadowMapCount128=1


If anyone knows how to optimize this further please do. I'm struggling right there with all the other 580/590 users.
