how's the performance after all these tweaks?

Can vary, up to 100, down to 70

So what was the breakthrough that brought Starfield Shader Injector/Luma back to life?

feels lowkey like waiting for the dirty/dark NPC faces fix for the HD mod

@jade urchin hi

#

I don’t understand how these changes end up affecting NPCs — only if they don’t have Facegen to begin with, then it gets generated on the fly. Ideally, faces shouldn’t be dark. But for now, you can simply disable this module.

Comes with a performance hit? My 3080 already struggling

lmao jk. a great step in the right direction though.

#

No argument here. Just came back to SF and these were the first two mods I checked on. Wasn’t sure they were gonna happen… but here, it seems, we are.

And there was much rejoicing.

one shader is still broken

#

Is that good or bad?

Or is it a "this is either a 2 hour or 2 week problem and i have no idea yet"

arctic wind
#

Given this hasn't been a thing in... what, over a year? I'll take it when it's ready either way and not ask too many questions personally. Thanks for the update, Pumbo... it'll be nice to have this back. No matter when that might happen to be.

#

Oh don't read that as begging, more curious if "1 shader is still broken" is celebration or dread .

arctic wind
#

I get that. Sure he does/did too. Just making it clear that ANY return is great at this point. Now that I know it's coming, I'm holding off on playing it at all until it's here... no matter how long that might be. Until then, I still have my Skyrim RP to keep working through.

Hey... this looks like a new flower here...

#

Well then. Yeah.

#

No patches for nearly a year. Thought it was safe to play. Aaaaaand we’re back.

vagrant stone
#

Should be fine.

#

The Free Lanes update is Starfield’s biggest update yet

#

The patch was so good GameStar increased its review rating for Starfield lol

Haven't played the new stuff yet (waiting for a certain mod to update), but from what I've read, it seems a good set of additions.

#

The Cruise Mode thing alone seems worth it. Make Ships Good Finally.

Which, BTW, is a good thing. Great memories of that film.

The Black Hole. A 1979 Disney SciFi disaster film. I liked it… the robot in question is B.O.B. (BiOsanitation Battalion), and is referred to as Old Bob by the crew of the Palomino.

The one in the background in VINCent (Vital Information Necessary CENTralized).

#

New patch dropped

arctic wind
#

Expected. Since we don't have Luma yet anyhow, no real change for us here.

So... neutral news at worst?

#

Nothing that LOOKS like it would affect the rendering... but hey, this is Beth.

#

They said there's going to be another patch in June, so it's possible Nukem and/or Pumbo might wait for that to update, or even later if Beth says there'll be a July patch as well

#

But I can't talk for them, just go off what's happened before

vagrant stone
#

I just need a few days where I'm available and then it's done.

primal plume
#

Good to know, thank you!

arctic wind
#

Nice.

#

Gives me time to nail down the rest of my LO... which I think I have most of at this point. If not all.

Waiting LUMA for Starfield)

If I didn't need to keep pumping out screenshots through Photomode for my RP of Skyrim, I'd have swapped to that HDR mod through CS for it. Can't do it though... the pics are just as important, and since they won't display correctly (according to the mod page), I just can't do it.

LUMA for Starfield, though... no posting of story for that, so glorious visuals. Eventually. In Time. Soon™. 😉

@vagrant stone. I installed the HDR Mod for Skyrim yesterday, but I am getting odd artifacting in the menus. I have no UI mods installed.

Is this something you have seen or are aware of?

Will this HDR help with the games awful lighting? Some places are so dark I can't see anything and other so light it's blinding. Like the gamma is messed up or something.

Hi guys!

Are there any news regarding the Starfield Luma Mod for the newest version? 🙂

Thanks in advance and sorry for asking if that already happened!

super fun game!

#

but yeah dont stress, have fun and work on what is fun to work on! tons of games still need proper hdr implementation. do what is fun in the moment

what exactly this mod does diffrently then native starfield hdr?

# frigid grove what exactly this mod does diffrently then native starfield hdr?

The high level answer (and many more knowledgeable people here may correct some of this, but I was bored waiting for a train sooo...) is Starfield's Auto HDR implementation is essentially relying on the Windows Auto HDR pipeline, which takes an SDR image after most of the game's rendering and tone-mapping work is already complete and expands it into an HDR signal. Plus you have very little control over the tone mapping (imo tools like special k and pumbos auto hdr give you far more control for this approach) This can improve perceived contrast and highlights, but it does not recover the full scene-referred dynamic range that was discarded during SDR tone mapping, eg will not fix banding issues this game has due to a low colour but depth.
Luma HDR work earlier in the rendering pipeline, before SDR tone mapping has discarded that original dynamic range and color information, producing a result closer to native HDR. Same as RenoDX mods, however this Luma implementation does a lot more than typical RenoDX mods under the hood, check the nexus page for more info.

The June update has been known about for a bit. Pumbo didn't predict there would be any real difficulty, he just needs time. Busy man. He'll get there.
