Aspect Ratio Off?

[Sydesplitter]

The aspect ratio on my game is way off. It's a small screen and doesn't even show the entire game. Like it's cut off. Not playable, and I can't find a solution. Anyone know how to fix this?

It kinda is with a 5:4 monitor. The game nativly only supports 16:9 and 16:10 resolution. Others take a bit to get working.

I didn't adjust any previous fixes suggested. All fixes here are in place, it still doesn't work.

[Sydesplitter]

So I'm out of luck, and more money, until I get a better display?

[Sydesplitter]

I can't get the mod fix to work though, and I've spent all morning and most of the afternoon working on this. I'm getting really irritated. I like Bethesda but I'm not gonna just throw money at them for fun.

The ini file resets when I close the game, so I have to go in and redo the ini file every time I want to play the game, which still isn't displaying totally well.

I don't know what the archive invalidation is. The game is running so buggy, the interface is totally screwy. I had no idea I wouldn't be able to play this effing game before my night shift started, or I wouldn't have even bothered with it today.

[Sydesplitter]

I can't follow most of the suggestions I'm getting here and other places. I wanted to play a game, not reprogram it. If I'd known what was entailed, I wouldn't have thrown away the 60 bucks. I'm not a software guy, I don't know most of the lingo popping up on forums, and I'm really wishing I hadn't spent this money.

[Sydesplitter]

I'm just gonna cut my losses and go back to PS4, this isn't how I wanted to spend my day.

Try auto correcting the aspect ratio with your monitor settings. Access them using the buttons on your monitor.

Late reply; One reason your, TheArchivist95, settings reset could be that your Fallout4.ini, Fallout4prefs.ini and Fallout4Custom.ini are auto-set to 'read-only'.

Enabling Mods is explained in an Video by Gopher, but the descriptions should explain it enough:

A guide to setting up your PC version of Fallout 4 for modding. This does not show you how to install mods, but rather set your game up ready for mods to be installed. These edits are required for installed mods to work in your game.

You will need to add the following lines to the Fallout4Prefs.ini file below the section marked [Launcher]:

bEnableFileSelection=1

You will need to add the following line in Fallout4Custom.ini:

[Archive]
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1
sResourceDataDirsFinal=

As Dro already said, the DEF_UI mod allows you to change the placement of HUD items.

Another mod, that I linked previously (but forgot it needed DEF_UI), uses it to manipulate the mesh file that contains the placement of the Shaded Background.

Edit: I suck at text formating.

Also, another mod Dro listed, was The Fallout 4 Configuration Tool[www.nexusmods.com].
Under the tab 'Tweaks' you can set a custom resolution, probably want to set that to x=1280 and y=1024. In the same Box are four buttons you can toggle (Borderless, Fullscreen, Maximize, TopMost; Pretty self-explaining).
