Starfield Performance BOOST

Modification It is intended to improve performance in such a way that there is no change in the rendering quality of the game.

Depending on the hardware, the performance gain will be between 5% and 15%. I decided to address all the available options in the game, so that for each of the settings to balance the performance of the game anew. This means that anyone can now squeeze out more FPS without seeing a drop in graphical quality, no matter what settings they use! From minimum to ultra!

Explaining differences in performance gains

Please note that, for example, we are reducing the resolution of static shadows from 4096 to 3072, This change may have an imperceptible effect on the performance gain on powerful GPUs, because simply the specific GPU did not have a big problem with these shadows, so we will only reduce VRAM consumption. However, weaker GPUs may gain as much as 15% and thus perform better on other graphical aspects. And it is also important that the ultra settings remain ultra. There is another modification of this type on the forum, in which several ultra settings have worse quality than high settings. And this is not the point of correct modification of game files.
To sum up (simplifying), the better performance of our PC in general, the smaller FPS gain we have from modifications of this type. And on weaker PCs the increment will be noticeably larger. However, in any case, at some point in the game we will certainly gain in performance, and we will not notice any drops in the quality of the rendered image, especially at times where FSR/DLSS/XESS is practically always on and we have TAA enabled by default in them.
And we will always reduce the demand for RAM and VRAM.


UPDATE 1v1
In the main file of modification 0, I minimally improved the performance of the high settings for rendering the terrain mesh.
I added an optional
 
"3. All In One Performance Plus" file. This is an improved performance over the main modification 0 file, but you can already see a minimal drop in quality. However, it is still significantly better quality relative to the original high settings.
I added optional files 1 and 2 with settings as in the main file 0, but with minimal settings for Motionblurr (1), or with this option completely disabled in file 2.

Modification options 1 and 2 change the strength of Motionblur, so that even the Ultra setting for file 2 means that this option will be disabled. This way you can have everything on Ultra in the menu and not see this effect in the game :)

Installation
After unzipping the selected settings, all you need to do is paste them into the game's main directory and replace them. The original backup files are included.

Important!
After installing/replacing the files, please in the game meny (the first launch after installing the modification) change the game options to other than the target and set the correct ones again. This will allow the game to overwrite the new settings....

Isn't it annoying that when you have told a companion to Wait Here, you have to walk all the way back to them to make them follow you again? It's the 24th century, don't people have radios in their space suits? Well, this mod fixes that.
