36 FPS lock

[A Regular Italian Plumber]

The game seems to be locked at 36 fps. I do not have any V-sync options on. I should be getting 4 times that with my setup.

Fullscreen the game. The game locks the FPS in windowed mode.

It's already fullscreen. No settings in game should be causing this. not even a ray tracing option should drop the frame rate that low.

30% GPU utilization and 15% CPU. Something is wrong.

You sure its full screen? or is it borderless windowed? there is a difference

[A Regular Italian Plumber]

Unless the setting labeled "Fullscreen" is lying, yes it was fullscreen and not borderless.

Copied from another post of mine from last week. Really wish Beth could fix this as it is literally every week someone needs to ask about this exact same issue.

Go to "your username" / Documants / My Games / Fallout76.

Look for Fallout76Prefs

Copy the entire file and paste it into the same folder.

Rename this copy to Fallout76Custom

Then open Fallout76Custom

Make these 2 small changes to the file to increase your game performance. Look for these lines and change them to be the same as shown below.

bFull Screen=1
bBorderless=0

iPresentInterval=0

Then save the file and set it to read only in the file properties.

First setting force the game to run in fullscreen mode always which greatly helps with performance and can help eliminate stuttering in the game. The second setting unlocks the frame rate and turns off in game V-sync.

If your FPS gets too high you may need to cap the frame rate for Fallout76 in Nvidia control panel as anything above around 130 FPS can cause major issues in game. You can also turn on V-sync in Nvidia control panel if you want it. Depends on your monitor refresh rate though and you may end up getting only slightly better FPS than before, but the game should run much better at least. If you have a G-sync or Freesync GPU and monitor you can leave all V-sync settings off.

Hope this helped you.

ya this fix never worked for me i have been locked at 47 fps since day 1. bethesda is a big ol joke at this point. even a live service game never gets fixed. laughable

[Dazzaw]

ive never been able to get these settings to work in Fallout76Custom.ini, Only work if I put them directly into the Fallout76Prefs.ini file

Are you sure you clicked the right ini file? Make sure its the "Fallout76Prefs" file. iPresentInterval should be under the "[Display]" section. If you can't find it then maybe try adding the line manually?
