How to install the Disk Cache Enabler plugin in Starfield

Disk Cache Enabler uses the disk cache for I/O in order to reduce disk activity. It will drastically improve the overall game performance and also reduces stuttering.

To install the Disk Cache Enabler plugin in Starfield, follow these simple steps:

  • First, download the Disk Cache Enabler plugin from the Nexus site. (You might need to create an account if you don’t have one).
  • After downloading the mod file, you’ll need to paste the Data folder into the Starfield game directory.

Starfield location:

Local Disk (C:) > Users > Documents > My Games > Starfield 

Starfield location (Steam):

C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starfield\

Note: You’ll have to overwrite the files in case of any duplicate files.

SFSE – Steam Installation:
