Anyone handy with the Fallout 4 ini?

I'm trying to make the UI a bit smaller so it isn't outside of the resolution I'm using. I'm thinking it may be the following. Annoying as hell lol.

[Interface]
fDefaultWorldFOV=70
fDefault1stPersonFOV=80
fSafeZoneX=15.0
fSafeZoneY=15.0
fSafeZoneXWide=64.0
fSafeZoneYWid=36.0
fSafeZoneXWide16x10=64.0
fSafeZoneYWide16x10=36.0

Use this mod to fix the UI for 32:9 if you're running it at 3840x1080.

Having never touched the later content, I'm enjoying the Vault 88 section of the game. There's a lot to do, the storyline is pretty amusing, and they're throwing tons of bosses, building materials, and XP at me.
I think the zaniness that occurs in Fallout 3 and Oblivion has me scared to go too far into the main story, lol. I haven't even touched it (minus Concord) and am already level 20.

Good to know. I think I have that mission on my list. It's been so long since I've played that I don't remember what's what. I remember the Brotherhood of Steel airship, Fenway park, and the Enclave complexes but I have zero recollection what led me to any of those things. I think it's because all 4 of the 3D Fallouts of have kinda blended together in my head.

Fired this up for shits and giggles and holy moly, it runs at a solid 144 FPS! I remember not finishing the game way back when, due to frustrating physics issues that came with forcing >60FPS. Kind of shelved and forgot about it. Now it's buttery smooth on a big OLED TV and suddenly I want to play a fresh new game. First need to figure how to expand the FOV and then I'll be back traversing the wasteland once again!

The physics issues are still there, along with the audio issues, door issues, lock picking etc.etc.etc. on anything over 75fps ;)

Well there goes the piss in my cheerios mate! I knew this must have been too good to be true. I should have played past the first few minutes before running here with my excitement lol. So busy right now but was going to get into it this weekend. Thanks for saving me another headache after the one I got 8-ish years ago :depressed:

It won't kill you to play @ 60fps. :p
Or wait till the high fps mod from the Nexus works again, when the updated F4SE gets released.

What resolution are you guys playing at?

3840x1080 I'm seeing 48-50fps pretty solid. Feels weird....almost like there is a vsync override taking place in the background somewhere even though I don't think I have it enabled.

I don't think there is a menu option for V-Sync. It is the iPresentInterval variable in the config file.

0 = off
1 = screen refresh rate
2 = half screen refresh rate

Note that this setting is ignored in windowed/borderless windowed mode.

I use 3840x2160. I force V-Sync on with G-SYNC and the FPS limit to 60 both in the NVIDIA control panel.
 
What the [H]ell did Bethesda due to Fallout 4? I have 5,887.4 hours into the game and using the same settings I've used prior to the latest update there's hitching every 2 or 3 minutes. The spot where the Courser is during a quest is back to lagfesting again as my character approaches the location.

I'll deep dive into what is causing the issue by starting with lowering shadows then go from there. As it stands right now the update is pathetic.

Also, it seems some of the mutated animals seemed to have been given a buff. I've never had to battle a Deathclaw more than 30 to 40 seconds prior. Now it is battling the beasts for close to two minutes before the bastards hit the dirt with my character dying several times during. Raiders seemed to have been given a buff as well but not as much as the mutated aminals.

On a more positive note, I do like the makeshift weapons. Saw blade shooter is quickly becoming a favorite of mine.
 
The level scaling is odd. It might've always been like this, but I'm definitely noticing it in this replay. I ran into a glowing ghoul that literally took 10 minutes of running around, 20 molotovs, 10 grenades, 200 rounds of minigun fire, and probably 20-30 rounds of 38, 308, and 10mm rounds each. It was a mission and he was the goal, so I had to kill him, too. Most hits weren't even registering any change to his lifebar. Yet 2-3 levels later I fought a Legendary Alpha Deathclaw with the same exact weapons and tore through him in about 30 seconds.

isn't there a thing about weapon debris or something that is murdering performance?

I'm not aware of there being any gameplay changes. This was visual/whatever only. The game seems exactly the same as I remember the vanilla unmodded version being outside of the marginal bugfixes and new items they put in.
 
Did they make load times any faster. I installed a copy of the GOTY version without the newest patch from GOG on my PC. The load times are painfully slow.

Problem is that the game load is tied to FPS. With this new version there is no way currently to fix it unless you want to play with high FPS which will break the game. There are mods that basically boost FPS just during loading, but most mods don’t work with this latest update. So you pretty much just have to deal with it unless you want to roll back to the prior update from years ago.

Edit - Looks like the high FPS fix mod is updated to work with the updated F4SE for this new version, so make sure you install that F4SE plugin. It fixes all the framerate related issues related to physics/etc, and also fixes loading times. This is pretty much the only mod worth running for the game if you want a vanilla experience, and i'm still dumbfounded as to why Bethesda basically didn't bake this mod into the game engine.

I'm legitimately impressed with the DLC stuff they added to the game. I didn't necessarily mean to start any of these, but I've had a total blast with the Automatron, Vault 88, and Nuka World missions. If you're at least level 20'ish, it's worth diving into all of 'em.

Far Harbor is the best part of FO4
 
After going through Nuka World and Far Harbor, I like to inject these 2 mods to spice up the Commonwealth.

This mod is great since it brings way tougher creatures to the fight, especially if you are high leveled and are playing on very hard.
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/74220?tab=description

If you want things even harder, add this to the mix too.
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/24927?tab=description works great at level 50 and above.
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/218?tab=description
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/6957?tab=description

The other mod I was referring to after completing Far Harbor and Nuka World.
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17836
This mod is good since it adds 7.62 & .45-70 ammo to all the Commonwealth and all the DLC weapons as well as NPC's carrying these weapons and ammo too.

Or you can craft the ammo yourself with this mod which also adds nails, cannonballs and flame fuel.
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/28914

Or you can go hog wild and just create your own reload station and make all of the ammo you want.
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1018/?
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22766 patch for 7.62.

Disclaimer: I haven't used any of these mods with the new update so don't flame me if they don't work. They all worked for me as of 2022. They should work since none use F4SE or have any dependencies, but who knows what Bethesda has done with that patch. :(
 
Perks are easy. What's the raw material difference. Ain't nothing like looting every ash tray for raw ceramic or some such to build, lol

I have never used the Nexus mod site before or modded Fallout 4, but I downloaded the Mod Pack that fixes and enhances the latest update from Bethesda.
How do I know if the mods are actually working in game? I have the Steam Version of Fallout 4, btw.

No clue, but TBH - I wouldn't play with that many mods personally. I'd just do F4SE because it's needed, the high FPS fix, and the unofficial patch. That's it. I wouldn't just download a pack of random shit and run it without knowing exactly what each one was doing.

Right now, F4SE, high FPS fix, and unofficial patch are all updated to support the latest version.

Personally, I don't even play with the unofficial patch.. Just the high FPS fix.

Being 'enabled' should mean they are working. I would think if you are in the game and it's night, and you have that 'visible galaxy' mod enabled, you should visually see it working.

I'll see if I can see the galaxy when I fire it up later.
The reason I was wondering is that all the mods are 68GB and the Fallout folder didn't seem 68GB larger. It's currently 93GB and the Mods folder is empty.

The nexus mods tool by default doesn't put them in the FO4 folder. It just puts in a symbolic link.

You're good. That mod pack is solid.

Mods should be under Data.

btw, I'm a moderator there. :)
 
I know what isnt solid. The automation DLC. Last quest crashes at same map spot. Fix is to look at the floor for a bit walking thru the area. Lol
 
When I played this back in 2017-ish (not sure when I just know I had waited a year before I played it) I apparently didn't have most of the DLC. I don't remember Vault 88, Nuka-world at all.

I had started a new playthru also, after installing an Nvidia sponsored mod- Vault 1080, which I think was a new spot near vault 111. I had completed that, and done the first bit of the Minutemen quests, and built up Sanctuary. The original plan was to replay the game and then NOT make the decision just yet that locks you into one of the storylines/endings, which I decided to do a little early on that playthru, so I didn't get to do the Brotherhood of steel ending as it was too far back. So get all side stuff done, settlements built, companions at max affinity/romance, and make a master saveGame from which I can go choose all of the paths and endings and finish them, then go back to the master saveGame and try the next... But I didn't, get past building Sanctuary.

Anyway, the game gets the 14Gb patch, so I fired it up, ran into some bugs. The sound would just stop after about 20 seconds in the menu. So I go to the mods section (only had 3 mods installed, vault 1080, fireflies, and 1 other) disable them, it says "reloading the game files".. game locks up. End task it, relaunch, disabled them again, it locked again. Third try was to delete the 3 files in the mods folder, pointers to the mods I guess. That worked, it gave a warning about loading the save "This save requires a mod, continue?" Continued, and it was fine. Audio issues fixed, and I haven't had any crashes. Probably put another 30 hours in already.

Question about the Nuka-world DLC. I'm at the point "Talk to Shank", and I did talk to him, he wants to invade the commonwealth, and asks "so are we ready to go?" I stalled and said not yet. It sounds like this might lock me out of endings, so I've been delaying, am I right? I definitely never played the Nuka World part before.

Vault 88 I think I finished, I just have the "Most Wanted" quest to kill 4 of my companions, which I am not going to do. Did the tests on the subjects (lol). I've even built a few gambling machines in Sanctuary, and one of the settlers that plays it "Did this machine just say (something derogatory but I forget what)?"

What I have been doing: rescuing/assisting settlements, it's gotten to the point where 2 of them were repeats (go here kill the ghouls, etc.). Building up their defenses, and building all of the settlements with sufficient food, water, beds, power, defense, debris cleanup. Set up a bunch of supply lines, but it doesn't seem to have linked the storage from each, and I seem to remember it did that back on my first playthru.
Strong is at max affinity, Gage just got to max affinity and romanced, Dog I played with for some time but I don't recall how to tell his affinity level, and right now Codsworth is my companion. Nuka-World: I've found all of the Cappy's, turned in the NukaCade tickets, I told the girl I wouldn't kill the Nuka Cola inventor (head), she gave me the NukaWorld jumpsuit, then I pickpocketed her and took her gun and outfit (lol), and then shut off the switch anyway. Grabbed the Nuka Launcher and ammo, She still got hostile, but all she can do is punch you which doesn't hurt in power armor. Gage shot her and she sat down, so I don't think she can be killed. I think she was a character from Fallout 3, the NukaCola memorabilia collector. I think that was Fallout 3, but not 100% sure.

I've been putting off the main quest parts that I remember from first playthru, anything that might lock me in, so can anyone confirm which /will/will not/ lock me in?
I only entered Diamond City to go talk to the waiter npc and get a food recipe (had a quest from something I killed), and did watch Piper talking to a kid for a minute. Then turned around and left. I'm still supposed to go talk to Piper. I remember this was part of the main questline the first time thru. Pretty sure I could be continuing it at least for a ways, but haven't yet.
Preston keeps wanting to take back a Minuteman stronghold, I'm putting that off. I think I can do this without locking anything in yet, but don't recall. I know my first playthru I did this quest.
and the Nuka World part I mentioned, Talk to Shank and initiate a raid on the commonwealth, which I do not want to do. What are the consequences of this?
