So i was able to use the NVIDIA gamma, contrast,brightness,vibrant settings to get the game looking pretty darn good. The blacks are much deeper on my OLED and the bright lights are close to HDR. It's not HDR, but it's way better. Looks good enough i was able to focus on playing through some of the beginning of the game and seeing some of the systems, and I gotta say. It's good. The Main campaign so far is interesting, and despite all of the load screens, I am playing long enough that I'm getting familiar with more of the controls in and out of the ship and menus, and have started to fall into a groove. A rythem if you will, of adventuring in space and on a couple planets in my ship, that I have taken some time to learn about. If this keeps up, I am to love this game. so far, I'm starting to Dig it.

Please share screenshots of your settings?

To repeat at least one other.
Reshade fixes this mostly.
You can't get full HDR out of it. But you can at least get real blacks, high contrast and remove the smear of mustard off the inside of your monitor!

which version of reshade do you use? there are so many versions on nexus mods

Calibbrated Starfield by FlepGG.ini
Not sure on the link right now as I didn't save the zip.
But I did some tweaking afterwards anyway.
But it's worth tweaking for your exact monitor to get it just right.

Hello my peoples. Just wanted to add that in the meantime, the workaround you can read about online of using SpecialK seems to work Very well. With SpecialK and some tweaking I'm basically running in full HDR, it looks amazing, and I'd be very surprised if any game patch or other workarounds end up looking better than that. That's on the Gamepass version not even Steam so it should work for all versions of the game.

Linl to the mod please.

Follow the instructions here: https://wiki.special-k.info/en/HDR/Retrofit

I had to play around with the "SDR gamma boost" setting to get the best results

I have the same issue on a TN panel.

Thought it was just me.

Tried all the DLSS mods from Nexus, only this one works with Special K: https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/196

This is one of the reasons many EA got a refund.

What's a qd oled?

I have a Samsung G8 OLED monitor. Here's how to fix the HDR.

1. Windows 11 got an update to correctly enable Auto HDR when the Steam version of Starfield launches. That will take care of the brightness.

2. https://www.nexusmods.com/starfield/mods/323 - This mod removes a filter the game has that ruins the contrast for their "style" they wanted in the game. You can see the insane difference in the screenshots.

After that mod is installed it should look a lot better. I now get true blacks on my display and with HDR update I'm getting the brightness now as well. I don't think I saw this mod in the thread.

This reminds me of the ongoing issues people (including myself) workaround with ultrawide displays. An earlier post mentioning that it's possibly a demographic issue hits home for me, as even asking about fixes for ultrawide will get a lot of community chastisement because it's a "minority" of players affected.

I get that some things are a matter of conserving expenses, but lacking support for a display type that isn't totally obscure seems no different than hobbling one's own product (in this case color issues).

IIRC another Bethesda (published) game had display issues due to color (my monitor is IPS with no HDR technology) and this was corrected on my end with a SweetFX preset and tweaking. Maybe some kind of ENB or similar would fit the bill? A lot of Bethesda games really are best played a year or more after release when modders have had their time with it. Not much help, but in my own way I can understand where some of you are coming from.

I read that with these exact settings you can only get crushed blacks, not true HDR

Black levels don't appear crushed on my display since the HDR update. Regardless looks miles better than the default game...
