Starfield Updates and Mod Support – September 13, 2023
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...
tl;dr
Update: I was wrong, the good bits will come later, for now it's just quest fixes. Thanks /u/Zyrxil
Now;
- Bug fixes and crash fixes.
Later;
- Brightness and Contrast controls
- HDR Calibration Menu
- FOV Slider
- Nvidia DLSS Support (PC)
- 32:9 Ultrawide Monitor Support (PC)
- Eat button for food!
Real tl;dr : None of these except a few mission fixes. Everything else is planned for some time in the future. You went too fast even for tl;dr.
eat button should be top priority
Honestly, this was something that Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 could have benefited from. There were people who used Nuka-Cola for healing instead of stimpaks, especially with Fallout 76's Cola Nut perk, but one significant benefit of using stimpaks instead was that you had a binding for them when using a controller instead of a keyboard.

Console players don’t have hot keys so I’d like to be able to choose what’s on the right d-pad button Since it’s the only instant use button I have available. I’d actually prefer if you could bing any item to that button. It would make using the cola nut perk way easier.
Wow, they could've avoided so much drama by just telling folks that an update would add FoV slider, HDR settings and DLSS support. Better late than never I guess.
It seems reactionary, they probably waited to see what the biggest fuss would be, then responded by saying that's now a priority. And if someone actually suggested them posting publicly about those issues before it was a snafu I'm sure any PR department would look at you like you had two heads and say "what are you, a fucking idiot? Don't admit defeat publicly before the consumer base brings it up first"
It looks like that's what they're doing. The bugfixes are out now, and they're saying that they're providing post-release updates for the FoV slider, HDR calibration menu, and DLSS.
Yeah I just realised that. The way the post is structured is a bit deceptive, but eh, I should have read it properly.
Would have liked a more technical update. Something akin to Factorios FFFs. There were quite a few articles recently about the FSR2 implementation being faulty and general performance issues due to wrong use of certain gpu extensions. Would have loved to see something mentioned about that.
