Do you have a powerful Nvidia card with DLSS support? Are you playing Starfield only to find out that it does not have native DLSS support? Or are you struggling with low frame rates? In that case, you would want to install the DLSS Frame Generation Mod, which a lot of players are using to improve their gameplay experience. So, if you too want to install this mod, just keep reading to learn how!
The Starfield Frame Generation mod is designed to enhance the visual and performance aspects of the game. It accomplishes this primarily by replacing the in-game FSR2 (FidelityFX Super Resolution 2) with DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), specifically DLSS3, along with support for DLSS-G for Frame Generation (requires a 40-series Nvidia GPU). To put it in simple words, it implements DLSS in the game and improves FPS, making the game feel a bit smoother. So, how do you go about installing the mod? Let’s find out.
Starfield DLSS Frame Generation Mod: How to install it
So, before we begin with the installation process, there are a couple of things you need to know. First of all, you will need to download and install two additional .dll files for the mod to work properly. These files are called DLSS and DLSS-G DLLs. So go ahead and download the required files and the mod. Links for downloading them are shared here:
Also, do not forget to download the correct version of the mod. For example, if you bought the game on Steam, download the Steam version of the mod, and likewise for the Xbox Game Pass. With all the necessary files downloaded, it is time to get started with the installation process.
Installing the Mod
First of all, you will need to know where exactly your game’s .exe file is located, i.e., the game’s installation folder. Now, Steam users can simply right-click on Starfield in their Steam library, select “Manage,” and then choose “Browse local files” to head into the game’s installation folder. Now, open the content folder to get access to the game’s .exe file.
If you are on Xbox Game Pass, right-click on Starfield, click on ‘Manage’, select ‘Files’, and then ‘Browse…’. Now, open the mod folder you downloaded. Inside, you should see a folder named “streamline” and some other files. Extract (copy and paste) everything from this mod folder into the Starfield game folder. With this, you will have installed the mod. But that is not the end, because you still have those required .dll files to install.
Installing the required .dlls
The required .dll files will also be in .zip format when you download them. So, you will first need to extract both the .dll files. After that, head to the game installation folder and open the “streamline” folder of the mod. This is exactly the folder that you pasted while installing the frame generation mod. Finally, paste the DLSS and DLSS-G DLLs inside this streamline folder.
After you have copied the mod folder, and copy-pasted the .dll files in the streamline folder, you are basically done with the installation process. Now, all you need to do is launch Starfield and make sure that FSR2 is enabled in the in-game settings. This is because this option has now been replaced with the DLSS mod that you just installed.
Things to remember
While the process is not very tricky, there are some things you need to be mindful of before trying out the mod. First, there are obviously risks involved in modding any game. So, make sure to take proper backups before you get into replacing in-game files. Also, be aware that the Frame Generation feature requires a powerful RTX 40-series Nvidia graphics card to function, while the rest of the mod can be used with any card supporting DLSS.
And there you have it; that is how you can install the DLSS Frame Generation Mod in Starfield. We hope this guide was helpful. For more such content, make sure to visit DigiStatement regularly. And before you leave, here is a guide on how to obtain Sarah Morgan’s outfit in the game.
