Installation for StarfieldCustom.ini
Place it in \Documents\My Games\Starfield.
If you have an already modified StarfieldCustom.ini you can update it by copy-pasting the contents of the potato StarfieldCustom.ini into yours. Make sure you're pasting everything in the correct section. As far as I can tell having duplicate sections won't work.
Correct example
Wrong example
Installation for Low.ini
- Make a backup of Low.ini in your game's folder (where the game's .exe is located).
- Place Low.ini in there.
Installation for .potato.txt
Place it in the Data folder in your game's folder (/Starfield/Data).
Notes
To boost performance even more you can use the console command tlb to disable all lighting, reflections and shadows. More info here and here.
You can use a natural Luts mod as well like Neutral LUTs - No Color Filters and a potato textures mod like Starfield Potato Mode (SUPER Performance Textures).
You might want to change/delete some lines in StarfieldCustom.ini depending on your preferences and/or specs:
Better Alt-Tab
bPauseOnAltTab=0
bAlwaysActive=1
Disable Temporal Anti Aliasing
bTemporalAA_idTech7=0
Disable Low Health Visual Effects
bLowHealthIModEnabled=0
Textures
iMaxTextPerFrame=16
bEnableTinyTexturesPool=1
bLimitStreamer=1
I experience some stuttering here and there but as far as I can tell it's because the game is on a hard drive ((243) Starfield on a Hard Drive... - YouTube).
You can try deleting "bEnableTinyTexturesPool=1", or "bLimitStreamer=1" and changing the value at "iMaxTextPerFrame". You can also try using "bEnableTinyTexturesPool=1" or "bLimitStreamer=1" on their own.
