DEV NOTES

The main version now packs everything into a FOMod installer! You should use a mod manager (Vortex or MO2) to install RETINA!
Manual installation is also possible, check the INSTALLATION section below!
(IMPORTANT! If using the Vortex Mod Manager, please ensure your Starfield Vortex Extension version is 0.5.7 or newer!)
                                                                                                                 
COMPATIBILITY

The Main version is not compatible with mods that modify eye textures. However; selecting the 'Lighting Enhancements Only (Compatibility)' version during installation enables the use of RETINA's enhanced shading and reflections, along with the additional fixes, with another eye texture mod.

                                                                                                                 
RESOLUTION OPTIONS

  • The UHD version is 2K (2048x2048).
This version has the highest quality (Four times higher than vanilla Starfield). This is ideal for 8K displays or close-up screenshots in a 4K display. It might slightly negatively affect performance in certain situations.

  • The default version is 1K (same as vanilla res., 1024x1024).
This version is compatible with nearly all configurations and should work well with up to 4K displays, with no positive or negative effect on performance.

  • The performance version is 0,5K (512x512).
This version might even improve performance while going pretty well with 1080p displays. It also should go along nicely with performance texture packs that decrease vanilla texture resolution.


                                                                                                                 
REPLACED EYE COLOR OPTIONS
This mod replaces all 12 default eye color options in Starfield.
The colors have been crafted to be as realistic as possible while remaining true to the original Starfield palette.
I aimed to maintain realism without assigning different eye colors to individuals, such as NPCs.
