A new Starfield patch addressing some issues with performance and stability is live now for the game. Bethesda says the patch also helps iron out some general gameplay issues.
Keep in mind that this update isn’t the larger patch which is currently being worked on at Bethesda. That patch is expected to add announced features and improvements to Starfield in the coming weeks ahead.

These features include brightness and contrast controls, an HDR calibration menu, an FOV slider, NVIDIA DLSS support, ultrawide monitor support and a much-requested “eat” button for food.
The latest patch, on the other hand, includes these fixes and improvements:

Starfield launched in early September. Bethesda claims the game has surpassed 10 million players since its release on 6 September. It is also supposedly the “biggest launch in Bethesda history”. While some players enjoy the game, I can’t recommend Starfield with any fibre of my body. You can read my Starfield review titled, To Infinity and Boredom, here.
