Despite receiving widespread acclaim, Starfield's launch lacked several expected features. PC players, in particular, felt the absence of DLSS support, while others found it strange that the game did not include a FOV Slider.
Fortunately, Bethesda Game Studios recognizes these issues with its latest adventure. While minor problems have been tackled in the initial hotfix, resolving more significant shortcomings will take some time.

Bethesda Game Studios has communicated with the community, providing patch notes for Starfield's first hotfix and outlining its plans for future updates.
The first patch, known as Update 1.7.29, will be available on September 13. Its main focus is on improving performance, stability, and addressing a few quest-related issues. The patch notes for 1.7.29 are as follows:
