📋 About This Mod
Enables native raytracing, skylighting, and raises anisotropic filtering level.
USE THESE SETTINGS AT YOUR OWN RISK! Bethesda left these settings disabled for... whatever reason.
No issues with brief testing. Subtle difference, doesn't seem to hit performance hard.
Install: Place StarfieldCustom.ini inside Documents > My Games > Starfield folder.
(you can also try overriding AF in Nvidia Control Panel or AMD equivalent)
There's conflicting information about whether or not raytracing made it to release. I can't say for certain, I just saw these settings and tested a bit.
If rt doesn't work, then skylighting must somehow affect interiors as well, because the first screen was not exterior.
It's funny seeing how upset people are about this. I looked through the ini dump for interesting settings, these were among them.
The value is literally bEnableRaytracing. You got a problem with it, blame Bethesda. I'm just the messenger here
