*CRAP lol it was pointed out that the FOV/brightness/DLSS stuff will come in FUTURE updates. I really should have waited to see the update in action before posting that original title. Was confused at why I couldn't find the settings. Sorry for anyone that got confused by me :(

First, an enormous thank you to all of you playing Starfield and your support. We are absolutely blown away by the response and all you love about the game. We’re also reading all your great feedback on what you’d like to see improved or added to the game. This is a game we’ll be supporting for years and years to come, so please keep all the feedback coming! Even if we don’t get to your requests immediately, we’d love to do it in the future, like city maps. Our priority initially is making sure any top blocker bugs or stability issues are addressed, and adding quality-of-life features that many are asking for.

This first update is a small hotfix targeted at the few top issues were are seeing. After that, expect a regular interval of updates that have top community requested features including: Brightness and Contrast controls HDR Calibration Menu FOV Slider Nvidia DLSS Support (PC) 32:9 Ultrawide Monitor Support (PC) Eat button for food!

We’re also working closely with Nvidia, AMD, and Intel on driver support, and each update will include new stability and performance improvements. Additionally, we are working on our built-in mod support (Creations) that will work across all platforms similar to what we’ve done with Skyrim and Fallout 4. This full support is planned to launch early next year. Until then, we know our PC community is already very active in the modding space and if you have any feedback on how we can make this better, please let us know . Modding and creating in our games will always be a vital and important part of who we are, and we love seeing the community get off to such a strong start. Keep the feedback coming, we really do read it all, and thank you all again for taking this journey with us!

To be clear, the hotfix doesn't address any of the issues. Those apparently might be added in later updates.

Oh crap. You are right. I'm editing the title now. I had just launched the game after it updated and couldn't find it.

I'll change it to say future updates will address those things. Thanks for catching that.

HDR Calibration menu? I didn't think Starfield even supported HDR. Is it just that it's implemented if your display and Windows supports HDR without notification or settings?

[–] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

Starfield has HDR support on consoles. Or at least Xbox does. I honestly find it a pain since everything is so dark and I can't change the brightness without changing it on my TV settings.

Really sucks this updated didn't have any settings for HDR like I originally thought.

I mean, it has the old kind of HDR that Oblivion had. I don't know about the hardware display feature that uses the same name. I'm hoping this setting is to adjust the former, because I absolute hate how strong that shit is. Things can get completely washed out in white or be completely pitch black dark if you happen to be standing at the edge of a shadow or doorway.

Glad they added proper DLSS support for Nvidia users. Doesn't change anything for me but more options are nice.

[–] Sleepkever@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No no, they are planning to add, nothing about when it's being added yet. This patch is just a very small number of quest blocker fixed.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They’re “planning” to add it once that timed AMD deal to keep Nvidia’s DLSS off of it expires. They got their money.

You people need to stop those conspiracy theories bs.

[–] 91x@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn, was hoping we'd see a hotfix to allow KB/M for Xbox.

Fingers crossed.

[–] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago

That would be great!

Placing stuff would be easier lol

[–] nico@lepoulsdumonde.com 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@Mr_Buscemi actually, my version in game says 1.7.29 but I don't see any of the supposed improvements, fov, dlss, hdr, nothing :/

[–] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hey turns out I was a fool and didn't read the post right before posting here.

They said they will add these things in FUTURE updates. This one was only for general big fixes. Sorry for confusing people.

[–] nico@lepoulsdumonde.com 1 points 1 year ago

@Mr_Buscemi their post was confusing !

[–] nico@lepoulsdumonde.com 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

@Mr_Buscemi haha and now it's crash to desktop when I launch a game :D

[–] nico@lepoulsdumonde.com 1 points 1 year ago

@Mr_Buscemi in case anyone has the same problem, it was the DLSS mod that created the problem. Worked fine once I removed it

[–] Mr_Buscemi@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh no :( Sadly I only have the Xbox version to compare. I got the update right before I posted this.

That sounds like a pain to deal with. Hopefully it can work soon

I was finally able to play the game after the update on Xbox.

I do not see any of the settings that Bethesda said that was added with this update.

The display setting page still only has film grain/motion blur/depth of field as the options.

It does feel like they fixed some of my HDR issues on Xbox. Things don't look as washed out now as it did before.
