The guide

UngodlyGFX for Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition

A complete, screenshot-verified walkthrough for installing BepInEx 6 (IL2CPP x64) into Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition and dropping UngodlyGFX v2.0.1 on top — render scale, 8K shadows, HDR grading, full display-mode control and UI scaling, all live from an in-game panel on F10.

What you're installing

This guide covers two pieces that work as a pair. Both are provided on the downloads page as specifically configured, ready-to-drop archives — no hunting through GitHub releases, no guessing which build works with this game.

The loader

BepInEx 6.0.0-be.785 — Unity.IL2CPP, win-x64

The plugin framework that boots inside the game. Sea of Stars: Sunset Edition is an IL2CPP build of Unity 2021.3.25, which means the classic BepInEx 5 you may know from Mono games will not load here — you need BepInEx 6's dedicated IL2CPP build. This package is bleeding-edge build 6.0.0-be.785 (commit 6abdba4), pre-configured for this exact game — details on the requirements page.

The plugin

UngodlyGFX v2.0.1

Ungodly madly vastly enhanced graphics + UI scaling — a performance-first plugin by StixsworldHD that puts the game's entire rendering pipeline in your hands through a fully custom in-game panel on F10. Everything applies live, nothing needs a restart, and anything returned to GameDefault is restored to exactly what the game shipped with.

What UngodlyGFX actually does

The panel drives six areas of the engine. Every control has a plain-English explanation printed directly beneath it in game, and every setting also lives in a fully documented config file — the panel guide and config reference cover all of it.

Display & pipeline — render scale up to 2.0× supersampling, MSAA up to 8×, HDR rendering, a pixel-art upscale filter (Point / Bilinear / PixelAA), HDR color-grading precision with LUT sizes up to 64, per-camera SMAA/FXAA and banding dithering.
Shadow overhaul — shadow distance to 1000 units, 4 cascades, main-light shadow maps up to 8192 px, additional-light maps to 8192 px, soft shadows, up to 256 simultaneous dynamic lights, and bias tuning.
Resolution & aspect — every display mode your monitor reports, listed with its aspect ratio calculated for you; one click switches to it live, with your choice of exclusive, borderless, maximized or windowed mode and refresh rate. An adaptive UI anti-stretch fix keeps the interface correctly proportioned on 21:9, 32:9, 16:10, 4:3 — any aspect.
UI scaling — one master slider for the whole interface plus individual multipliers for all seven of the game's UI layers (BACK, MAIN, PROMPT, MODAL, CONSOLE, VIDEO, OVERLAY).
Frame pacing — uncap the frame rate or hard-cap it anywhere from 30 to 1000 FPS with per-frame enforcement, plus an optional always-on FPS overlay.
Diagnostics — per-module master switches, a live status readout, three panel themes, per-tab and global resets, and instant config saving.

The route — three parts, about ten minutes

Install BepInEx 6 (IL2CPP x64) Six items from the archive go into the game folder, next to SeaOfStars.exe. One wrong-folder trap to avoid — the guide walks you around it.

Launch once and let it generate BepInEx reads the game's IL2CPP binary and generates its interop assemblies. One to a few minutes, one time only — this package even skips the usual internet download.

Drop in UngodlyGFX and press F10 One merged folder places the DLL and its documented config. Launch the game, hit F10, welcome to the good place.

Start with Requirements and Downloads if you haven't already — everything else assumes you have both archives on disk.

A look at the panel

The panel is a fully custom widget toolkit drawn from primitives — solid, opaque, draggable, rebindable, and themable. These screenshots (click any image on this site to view it at its original 1920 × 1080 size) show it running on the title screen with an all-out configuration dialed in:

UngodlyGFX Display tab over the Sea of Stars title screen — The **Display** tab — render scale at the engine-clamped 2.0× maximum, HDR rendering on, PixelAA upscaling and HighPrecisionHDR grading with a 64-size LUT.

UngodlyGFX Shadows tab showing the shadow overhaul settings — The **Shadows** tab — 1000-unit distance, 4 cascades, 8192 px shadow maps and 256 dynamic lights: the ungodly maximum.
