🎯 Tips & Tricks
Make sure to back up your original StarfieldCustom.ini before replacing it, so you can revert if needed.
If you're using a mod manager, you can install this as a mod, but manual installation is just as easy—drop the file into your Documents/My Games/Starfield folder.
After installing, test in a city like Neon to see the FPS boost; if you still get stutter, try lowering shadow quality in the game settings.
