Players wanting improved visuals need look to no further as Halk Hogan Releases the first HDRP pack for Starfield which weighs in at just under 600MB. The HD Reworked Project aims to overhaul many of the game’s textures including environmental, such as terrain, fabrics, fire, and more, but also NPC facial textures as well. Halk has stated that performance should not be affected and GPUs with 6GB or VRAM should not experience any issues in using the 1.0 pack.
Per Halk Hogan, “The modification practically does not affect the game’s performance, it only requires a little more video memory (VRAM). Generally, if your graphics card has at least 6GB of memory, you can install the mod without fear of a fps hit.”
Per Nexus Mods Description:
“Version 1.0 (initial):
- reworked to high resolution many various environment textures in cities and beyond (some rocks, walls, floors, terrain, and more)
- reworked the entire crowd, faces now look much more detailed and realistic
- reworked some fire effects, you can now see realistic flames instead of blurry pixels
Screenshots:
The below screenshots only represent some of the textures seen in the above video. The video does a much greater justice to the work that has been put into the project, especially the NPC facial textures.
Project goal:
Per Halk Hogan, “This project aims to improve the graphics by reworking game assets to better quality preserving original art style and good performance. Modification from author of The Witcher 3 HD Reworked Project.”
Even as Halk Hogan Releases this new upgrade pack it is possible theat Bethesda may, at some point, release one of its own. Meanwhile, though, players have a reletivively quick and easy option for improving their gameplay experience now. The Starfield HD Reworked Project can be downloaded here.
