how do i turn off high res permanently it seems

[Jin Yoichi]

like the game is giving me high ress regardles of it being turned the fk off and its giving me massive FPS DROP... like constantly...

[=EGC= kansasterry]

do you have the hi res dlc installed?

if so copy the files connected to it to another folder in case you want to use it in the future then deselect the dlc in steam where you select what dlc to install/remove.

a lot of people have reported fps drops using the hi resolution dlc because they do not have the minimum requirements (usually the gpu dedicated memory) to run the game in hi resolution.

in steam, go to your LIBRARY, right-click on fallout 4 and select PROPERTIES then at the bottom of the menu select DLC then un-check the box next to the high-res texture pack

the thing is, i'm running the game on max settings cus why not, i'm using an i7 67k 32 GB ram with a 3060 TI 8GB and 1t SSD.... and i run the game on windowmode/borderless and it doesn't cause 1 drop of FPS AT ALL but then when is witch to full screen, its literally unplayable.. like it doesn't go higher than 30 fps

well, the high-res texture pack is bad, lots of people have recommended against using it for performance reasons. if you're looking for high-res fallout, they say you should use mods instead

mods like this for the game world

Vivid Fallout - All in One
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/25714

Vivid Fallout - LOD
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/56666

and then mods like this for the individual items

Fallout Texture Overhaul Power Armors UHD 4K
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3344

but if we're talking mods then we should talk about how the fallout 4 game engine is just a bad design. it needs help. people get new hardware and think it will run this game better but it won't because it can't. the game engine caps at 60 FPS and everything depends on it from the display to the scripting engine.

so if we're modding fallout 4 for performance, i'd say follow this guide i wrote because these are the mods you need to run in order to get fallout 4 hauling more ass.

i'm never said i wanted to use the high res pack, matter fact i wanted it turned off and even tho its turned off the game registers it as if it was ON... and its not that's where the ISSUE lies..

[Shadowrun]

so, in the DLC list is says it's unchecked? but the game is still loading the high-res textures in game? is that what you're saying?

[Jin Yoichi]

ON a side note i am looking for a good reshade + a mod where the world has trees or is covered by it.. and 3rd person animation overhaul... and some weapons and some armor and gear preferably tactical military type of stuff like modern warfare style looks... or military styled armor/weapons etc etc of that sorts, if u got any ideas or pointers drop some links on here

Yes

[Shadowrun]

ugh. bethesda (and steam) always manage to come up with new bugs.

ok. so i searched up a solution that might work.

From Steam Community

1. Go to your Steam Library by clicking "Library" at the top

2. Click on Fallout 4

3. Click on "Support" to the right of Fallout 4

4. Scroll to the bottom, if you have the season pass or a lot of dlc, click "Show all DLC"

5. Click on "High Resolution Texture Pack"

6. Click on "I want to remove this permanently from my game library"

7. Make sure It says High Resolution Texture Pack at the top, or you'll remove the entire game with no refund

8. Click "OK"

i actually found a steam thread via a reddit thread lolwut

i would use this thread to just try and resolve your DLC issue then make a new thread looking for mod suggestions. it's gonna get more attention that way. :)

but if you want lush landscapes you can just search for that (i think that's a mod name) or search on nexus for the keyword "green". a lot of mods pull up that add green trees and grass to the game.

[Shadowrun]

so, the instructions i quoted might be outdated because steam's been updated. but the thread does list a couple other ways of accomplishing the same thing and in updated posts so it's worth checking out the replies here:

Windowed mode in modern PCs will see a massive FPS drop regardless. Why are you not playing full screen ?
You can uninstall the whole game and re-install without the high-res. DLC.

one would not need to uninstall the entire game to remove the hi res DLC simply go into the games data folder and remove the hi res ba2 files that start with DLCUltraHighResolution - Textures and the file DLCUltraHighResolution.esm then make sure that DLC is unchecked so they do not reinstall if the game needs to undergo file verification in the future.

[Shadowrun]

the link i posted has instructions on how to totally refund the hi-res DLC and remove it from your account. verify files won't put it back after that.
