I already bought the game ages ago and i cant refund it. I launch it and it doesnt even run. I made the mistake with not checking my specs. Is there anything i can change to just get it to run? i already changed all the setting so gameplay is signficantly improved... but i cant even get the game to launch... please help

Figured it out, it was my graphix card... so any help? Got a gtx 880 laptop
Too hard to tell if you're not going to post your specs. It could just be your graphics card, but then it could also be your CPU or Ram as well. Without knowing any of that nobody can properly answer your question. Were not magical wizards that can travel through space and time and pull all the information of the universe out of our ass.

That said my personal guess (and that's all I can give since I have 0 info to go by) is that your laptop dosen't even meet the minimum specs required and won't run period no matter what you change with the settings.

Im 90% sure i have an unstable graphics card version...
No you can't run it. It's not an unstable graphics card that's the issue, your graphics card isn't powerful enough to run it. On top of that your CPU isin't powerful enough, and you don't have enough RAM. You'll have to upgrade your hardware or buy a better PC to play it.

i got it working finally on my intel 4000... ity takes a lot of tweaking and foolling aorund..



go on youtube. type in low spec gamer fallout 4 there..

its brand new video he will take you by steps on what to do...

note you could have grpahic issiues so just google search that.. like fallout 4 missing textures or so and so lol

also might have to turn off blood idk why but that causes my game to crash. it missses up the texutr and spams out..


thing you have ot fool around with is the screen resolutions and the in games one.. they have to match up and since we are low end really should stay around low end of it.


game runs alright with me. i dont use the massive downscale mod only thing i struggle with it the stuttlers.. i dont crahs or nothing. fps is mehh not too bad really..

Processor is ok. Digital Foundry used an I3 with a GTX 750 ti :

http://www.geek.com/games/a-budget-gaming-pc-plays-fallout-4-better-than-consoles-1638999/

Your video card is DirectX 10.1 . There are arguments about whether your card has to be DircetX 11 compliant or not, with most of the pro arguments using the minimium graphics card spec, which is DX11 compliant.

Ram is not so g ood. The game specs require a minimum of 8GB. That's probably most of your problem.

My now deceased laptop (Dogmeat peed on it) was an I5 3210 with an AMD Firepro with 1 GB of DDR5 VRAM, but it also pulled another 2 GB of system RAM (DDR3).

At low resolution, I had no problem with say a BOS attack on a fight between Raiders and Supermutants, whereas it would bog down in combat at medium or high.

If you go to Settings System Display Display Adaptor Properties you can see if your laptop is utilizing system ram.

I scanveged a desktop with onboard HD 2000 graphics. It pumped itself up to 4GB but won't run F4, possibly because it's like a DX 9 or 10.

My new video card is on a slow boat from China (ETA April, June, or 22nd century) so I tried a 1GB HD5450 which is DX11.

It loaded, but you can't do much combatwise. Once I get it loaded again, I'm going do the boring stuff like selling all the junk and settlement improvements.


Now the fun part: You need to find out if your video card is soldered or in a slot. Probably soldered. That leaves you no choice but to replace your laptop.

If you choose to replace, search like a big dog, don't clear your cookies until you're done, don't use privacy tabs, and you might find some bargains.

My HP 8470P was refurbished and $160. Afterwards a casual search showed them at $200 and up.

I just bought a refurbished desktop with an I7 2600 for $218. A week later, that was the price of the I3 and I5 models. The vendor's site now lists them for $314.

You want the refurbisher to be a big outfit and your PC should have a new legal copy of Win. 10. Microsoft Authorized Refurbisher is best; some yokel refurbisher on Ebay is rolling the dice.

Some "refurbishers" do little more than turn on the PC to see if it boots and then they spray clean the components.


My new GTX 750 ti that I'm waiting on, was $45 shipped. I don't know if it's cool to list the vendor names, so I won't.

The problem with Dell and HP though, is that their power supplys are puny and often propriatary. Some motherboard models cap the wattage of the PCIEx16 slots.

Older CPUs like the 2nd gen i7 2600 support only PCIE 2. PCIE 3 cards will usually work in a version 2.0 slot, but you have to read the specs.

You alos want to get familiar with the specs of you laptop to determine if you can scavenge stuff like your system RAM for the new one.

Good luck. It took me days of searching and looking up specs and prices but it was worth it.

(Hint: write stuff down or save copies of specs so you don't chase your own tail like I did)

BTW, Forbems magazine built a $500 F4 PC, but they transferred their old Windows to the new. Not sure if you can do that with an OEM version of Win.
