Starfield FSR2 Bridge - Replacing FSR2 with DLSS or XeSS

IMPORTANT: DLSS Frame Generation does not work with this!

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/

- XeSS: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/intel/xess/main/bin/libxess.dll

- Launch the game.

To get to your game directory:

- 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'.

- 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)

- 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.
