Starfield FOV and Optimization Mods Are Already Out on Nexus (wccftech.com)

As most PC gamers will have noticed right away when launching the game, there is no Starfield FOV (Field of View) slider in the game's settings. This is unfortunate since the default setting appears to be 75, which is lower than preferable, especially for those who experience motion sickness when playing in first-person view.

Thankfully, several mods are already starting to appear on Nexus, including some that allow players to increase the Starfield FOV value. User Hellstorm102 provided a downloadable StarfieldCustom.ini file that needs to be placed in the Documents/MyGames/Starfield folder to enable the increased Field of View. The provided file sets FOV to 100 for both first-person and third-person view, though any user can modify the .ini with different values as desired.

Likely, Bethesda will eventually add an in-game Starfield FOV slider at some point, but mods will have to do in the meantime.

HDR isn't present on the pc version for some reason. That said, from what I understand HDR is pretty much broken on console.

I'm playing on a PC which is connected to a 4k HDR OLED tv and the colour is pretty flat and nothing is truly dark/black. There's lots of colour banding too.

Genuinely surprised with the budget of this game anyone looked at that and thought "yeah, that looks right".

Fully agree. Noticed the space scenes appearing very dark grey instead of black. Granted I've been playing no mans sky recently, and HDR is absolutely busted there but at least space isn't dark grey.

Is color banding a software or source issue? I get it in some games on my oled TV on ps5 with HDR on. I've never not seen it in streaming services, even in 4k. But I never notice it when watching DVDs.

It's very much the fault of the game. There are no gamma or colour options.
