ULTRA-WIDESCREEN • LINK
Add support for custom resolutions[4]
1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
2. Open StarfieldCustom.ini or create it if it does not exist.
3. Add the following along with the desired resolution(s):
[Display]
sSupportedResolutionsList=1280x720, 1366x768, 1440x900, 1600x900, 1680x1050, 1920x1200, 1920x1080, 2560x1080, 2560x1440, 2560x1600, 3440x1440, 3840x1600, 3840x2160
Modify the game executable to remove pillarboxing[5]
1. Open <path-to-game>\Starfield.exe in a hex editor (e.g. HxD).
2. Search for 8E E3 18 40 as hex.
3. Replace it with 39 8E 63 40 for 32:9, or any other aspect ratio in hex.
4. Save the changes.
Modify the config file for a 32:9 aspect ratio fix for the photo mode, map
custom marker, HUD alignment, and no pillarboxing
1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
2. Open StarfieldCustom.ini or create it if it does not exist.
3. Add the following three lines in the file:
* [Interface]
* bPhotoModeLetterBoxed=0
* fSafeZoneXWide=X
* X = This value can be fine tuned to move the HUD anywhere. This example
would give a 16:9 HUD at 3440x1440: (3440 - 1440*(16/9)) / 2 = 440 or
(3840 - 1080*(16/9)) / 2 = 960. If the resolution is 5120x1440, set it
to 840 for it to be a bit wider.
4. Add the following two lines in the file:
* [Display]
* fWideAspectLimit=Y
* Y = This should be your exact aspect ratio as a decimal number. Use the
table below for the proper Y value.
5. Adjust the FOV to the desired value; see Field of view (FOV).
Notes
This fix cannot be used in conjunction with the HEX edit solution. Restore the
original Starfield.exe or do a repair on the game if a backup hasn't been
created.
The fWideAspectLimit removes the pillarboxing at 32:9 resolutions. This also
fixes the map custom marker that would always go to the far right when placing a
custom a marker on a planet for a custom landing. Stops the interaction pop up
from coming up when something or someone is off center or at the edge of the
rendered resolution.
The bPhotoModeLetterBoxed removes the pillarboxing when in photomode.
All of these features work in first and third person be it on foot or flying a
ship.
The fWideAspectLimit will cause scoped weapons to be black until it reaches the
edge of the 21:9 aspect ratio the game supports and it will show no obstruction.
The same thing happens with the weapon wheel. Functionality is not effected.
The frame rate may be impacted with any or all of all these changes.
Weapons appear closer to the camera in first person.
Resolution fWideAspectLimit= 1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160 (16:9) 1.7778
3440x1440, 3840x1600 (21.6:9, 24:10 (12:5)) 2.4 5120x1440 (32:9) 3.5556
5120x1600, 3840x1200 (32:10 (16:5)) 3.2 5120×2160 (64:27) 2.3704
FIELD OF VIEW (FOV) • LINK
Add custom values to configuration file[6]
1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
2. Open StarfieldCustom.ini or create it if it does not exist.

desired value:
fFPWorldFOV=X
fTPWorldFOV=X
BORDERLESS FULLSCREEN WINDOWED • LINK
The game only allows for custom resolutions in windowed mode by default; this
fix allows for custom resolutions with a borderless window.
Enable borderless windowed mode and allow custom resolutions
1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
2. Open StarfieldPrefs.ini.
3. Edit the following in the StarfieldPrefs.ini:
bBorderless=1
bFull Screen=0
iSize H=1600
iSize W=3840
ANTI-ALIASING (AA) • LINK
Disable temporal anti-aliasing (TAA) through a config file:[1]
1. Go to the configuration file(s) location.
2. Open StarfieldCustom.ini or create it if it does not exist.
3. Insert the following lines in the file:
[Display]
bTemporalAA_idTech7=0

change will not persist between game restarts.[7]

3. Add the following:
[Controls]
bMouseAcceleration=0
Notes
Placebo or not working, bMouseAcceleration=0 is not a valid command. Starfield
may require a raw input mod similar to Fallout 4.

Change the Pitch ratio in the config file
1. Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Starfield.
2. Open StarfieldCustom.ini or create it if it does not exist.

Change the Mouse Heading Y-Scale Value according to Aspect Ratio in the config
file
1. Navigate to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Starfield.
2. Open StarfieldCustom.ini or create it if it does not exist.
3. Add the following:
[Controls]
fMouseHeadingXScale=0.021
fMouseHeadingYScale=
The fMouseHeadingYScale= value is calculated by multiplying the
fMouseHeadingXScale= value by the quotient of the horizontal and verticals
screen resolution (aspect ratio):
fMouseHeadingXScale * (aspect ratio)
* Example #1:
0.021 * (12/5)
* Example #2:
0.021 * (3840/1600)
You can use the table below for the exact fMouseHeadingYScale= value, instead of
the formula.
Resolution Aspect Ratio fMouseHeadingYScale= 1920x1080, 2560x1440, 3840x2160
(16:9) 1.7778 0.0373 3440x1440, 3840x1600 (21.6:9, 24:10 (12:5)) 2.4 0.0504
