In the distribution there is a Fallout 4 - High Resolution Texture Pack (optionally copied to the game folder.Both of those should be discoverable within the following file path: "\My Documents\ My Games\ Fallout 4. ini files you need to find in order to change FOV in Fallout 4. It will be opened in Notepad: Find the line starting with bTopMostWindow= Change it to. C:\Users\your user name\Documents\My Games\Fallout4 Double click the file Fallout4Prefs.ini. Usually it is located at: This PC\Documents\My Games\Fallout4. Though this item appears in Fallout 4, its design is based on the Mister Handy from Fallout 3 and Fallout: New Vegas, a trait shared by most collectible models in Fallout 4. Handy model is a small, collectible model of a Mister Handy being propped up on a stand. Find your Fallout 4 install location, which is typically: C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon Paste the copied folder into Fallout 4’s “Data” folder. Generally, you’ll want to copy the entire folder (Meshes in the Lowered Weapons example). Go into the new folder and copy the applicable files.

Knocking down the textures and render distances doesn’t hurt much either since you’re not always looking to the horizon (even if they look super pretty cranked up).

With everything else maxed on a modest rig, bumping each of those down from Ultra to High gave me an extra 10 fps without obvious visual compromise.

If you need a few extra frames to at least maintain a constant 30-plus, I found that ‘Shadow quality’ and ‘Godrays quality’ made the biggest difference. Otherwise, use online calibration tools or images to make sure your colors are the best they can be. Without a slider, you can eyeball the brightness if you know what to look for.

There’s not built-in gamma slider in Fallout 4, which may be a minor nitpick, but it’s easy for the already desaturated landscape to look extra washed out without proper gamma balance. Be warned though, we’ve been unable to test it extensively, so unlocking the framerate might have some messy side effects. Change that 1 to a 0, hit save, and let your framerate run free. Head to the Fallout4Prefs.ini file located by default in \Documents\My Games\Fallout4, open it and search for ‘iPresentInterval=1’. Uncap your framerateįraps has been capping out at 60 frames-per-second as I play, which obviously isn’t ideal for folks who want to fully utilize their 120 Hz or higher monitors. Anytime I tried to take a screenshot with FRAPS, the game crashed immediately. Don’t expect a stable environment with custom resolutions. The UI doesn’t scale, so keep that in mind, but you can always turn it off just to ogle the landscape with by pressing the tilde key (~), typing “-tm”, and hitting Enter.
