That lut remover and auto hdr is great isn't it! 
PS. You need to use both for best results really as the lut does add some black crush but the hdr resolves this. Also, make sure windows hdr calibration is done since auto hdr uses this.
This is why oled gamers are ****** of as they are missing out on this with the default settings:
There are various ways they could have optimised for this though (loads of open world games are out there with relatively low vram usage [as in doesn't need 16/24GB and even then, still run pretty well on 8gb gpus] that have stunning textures e.g. me andromeda, days gone, witcher 3 remake, rdr 2, cp 2077 just to name the few) but being beth, that isn't their strong point let alone using their engine....
e.g.
- reduce LOD distance (already poor as is though....)
- have it so that only what you're looking at is being loaded/rendered in
- copy and paste assets, bit like with days gone, the older FC games, textures are incredibly detailed but you notice how often they are reused
I'm noticing a lot of copy and paste on assets/objects as it is though so they could have easily done better all round here. I would say what I have seen so far doesn't even deserve the 4-5GB vram usage.
Essentially all comes down to that **** engine and probably some incompetence.
But then when the majority of the pc market are on <-8GBs gpus (iirc it's like 80+% according to steam), it's not surprising to see why they have gone the way they have.

Have been a little disappointed with some of the dialogue and it not registering that I'd already done or seen something in the verse. Think I've become spoilt with pen&paper rpgs and BG3
Trying not to accept too many missions so I am not overwhelmed with them. I just go for ones that sound the most fun for me.
Wont be doing any until I fully explore NA however which may take some time. I mean it took me like 5-6 hours just on Kreet and that was a moon

It is brilliant. Anyone with a half decent HDR monitor should get this. Helps a lot. Why oh why did they not just sort out HDR themselves. Would make graphics look so much better that alone.
Stupidly, I went exploring rather than going straight to New Atlantis, now I just cannot get clearance to land there. I have tried everything, but I cannot get the scan to allow clearance to land. I have tried sitting in the jump seat, I have built outposts, I have almost completed Jemison!!!
Any ideas?

Playing as is on 21:9 monitor perfectly fine, only the bigger ultra giga wide 32:9 ones that have issues.

Xbox already has hdr so why it's missing from the pc version baffles me.

There's no way round the 'fast travel mechanic' or 'one visit and done' with a game this big and this early on. Without it the game would be a huge chore and drag. That level of simulation is better served by MMORPGs
Have you got a bounty against you?
Not been like that for me, only where I jump into a specific battle or groups hunting me. Plenty of times seeing in distance not engaging then sneaking up to them on low power flight.
It's really really crap.
I'm enjoying the game so far, but I really dislike the space combat, it feels so watered down and pointless - there's just nothing in it, just feels like your moving a cursor around a screen - totally rubbish.
I am enjoying the rest of the game, but I'm trying to avoid as much as the space combat as possible...

That does look so much better, is there a guide for this? I haven’t installed a mod for any game in about ten years so I haven’t a clue.
No use having a shiny new OLED only to have the blacks appear washed out. Such a ridiculous decision on Bethesda’s part.

Can you explain how to do this? Not used to modding games!
Steam Community :: Guide :: [HDR FIX] Force Auto HDR with no .exe Renaming!
A quick and easy way to add HDR into Starfield using window's built in AutoHDR support by forcing it to accept Starfield.exe. This can be applied to *any* game missing HDR support, enjoy!...
Neutral LUTs - No Color Filters
Removes the color filters from the game + DLC, making the colors more uniformly neutral with deeper blacks.
www.nexusmods.com
Just follow the instructions, very easy, 5 minutes top.
This is on gamepass version so not sure if the hdr thing will work for steam version

I'm surprised how much I enjoy the game so far, given
The enemy soldier AI is rubbish.
The space combat is awful.
Inventory is not great and unintuitive.
The map menu is annoying me, too.

If you don't do the main story and just explore xp is really slow, but if you do the story quests you get loads of xp, like ~15x more than a single enemy kill.
