Ultra wide screen 1440p?

[Colmaniac]

Hi, is there a way to ajust the screen settings to allow for ultra wide screen settings, or a decent mod that works? The standard game settings give horrible display, either full wide screen with what looks like 8 bit graphics or a very small window with good graphics but too small a window to beable to play.

I would like to replay the game again but atm the picture is horrible lol

Everyone who says "try google" should follow their example and try it themselves. Google has become ad, youtube and shopping centered trash and you'd be lucky to find accurate -info there like we used to 10 years ago.

Try editing in Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4Prefs.ini:
iSize H=1440
iSize W=3440

What a load of BS?

google "fallout 4 ultrawide"

... and the first answer is -

Truby Ultrawide

Now wasn't that difficult.

FYI, IM NOT STUPID I ALREADY TRIED GOOGLE AND THE FIRST GOOGLE CAME UP WITH EDITING THE INI WHICH DIDNT WORK!!!.

That is why im asking now if there are any mods or an up-to-date method of doing this.

As Nicky the Hutt quite rightly says google info is out of DATE!

Thanks Relic62, nothing was mentioned about step 5 altering it to read only, ill try this out tomorrow.

Also when starting the game after setting both ini files, do I need to change the settings in the game start up IU or just press play?

Thanks

[Relic62]

No just press play

No just press play, see what happens, I dont have that res still on 1920 but just go with what the guy recommends

There is actually a third party app out there on the web I used to run when I played at 3440x1440 works very well in conjunction with a mod as well. Which is really douchey of Bethesda because then you can't get achievements just to play the game in vanilla so you have to go get ANOTHER mod that re-enables achievements.. smh...

I gamed at that resolution and even tried 3840x1600 for years and finally just said ♥♥♥♥ it and dropped back down to 2560x1440.. It's great at first but yeah.... I'm happier at 2560x1440.

PS the app I mentioned has settings for tons of games, not just Fallout 4

You could try buying a 24" normal UHD for $100 and it would play just fine.
Most games today (let alone old) were not built for UW abbey normals.

Simply not true. Most games today can handle more resolutions including 3440x1440. Bethesda, however, is ♥♥♥♥ at that resolution. Always has been, likely because they've really just been using the same engine for decades with updates. I'm hoping with their next gen engine they'll stop having the issue.

This mod has served me extremely well so far, also allows you to scale your UI. Flawless Widescreen doesn't work for me at all.

Worst case you can fiddle with your GPU settings and monitor settings and play @ 2560x1440 with black bars on the side

Yes you can btw doesnt seem like you ever got an answer so given I just revisited FO4. this is what works for me. UI's and scope are lil wonky but it works for me 'without mods' yes right outta the box. I know this because you dont get steam achivement stuff if its modded (last time I played FO4 was before the steam migration hence revisiting)
Anyway... here's what seemed to work for me. edit your Fallout4Prefs.ini in the Display section then make that file read-only. yes everyone and where says never do that well kinda gotta do it or FO4 overwrites it. this forces FO4 to run windowed always on top (sorry no alt tabbing)

bTopMostWindow=1
bMaximizeWindow=1
bBorderless=1
bFull Screen=0
iSize H=1440
iSize W=3440

Also in Fallout4.ini in the Interface section this seemed to help any stretching and keeping me from clicking 'offscreen'

fDefaultWorldFOV=100
fDefault1stPersonFOV=100
fSafeZoneX=15.0
fSafeZoneY=15.0
fSafeZoneXWide=64.0
fSafeZoneYWide=36.0
fSafeZoneXWide16x10=64.0
fSafeZoneYWide16x10=36.0

If it works dunno this game fought me even under beth's fingers, still does today it seems. was hoping the VR version maybe addressed this stuff but sadly its forced hand controls...

Which is why many of the Steam forums for the games I play, have some kind of "why doesn't this game do UWt? It's 2021/2/3, everyone I know uses UW, it's the fastest growing format, etc, lazy devs!" thread.

Bethesda, however, is ♥♥♥♥ at that resolution. Always has been, likely because they've really just been using the same engine for decades with updates.

Or, they haven't put out a new game during a time when UW actually had some traction. It's niche now, it would have been super niche in 2015.

I'm hoping with their next gen engine they'll stop having the issue.

Yeah, we'll see what the FO4 update & Starfield can do. They also need to figure out the 60fps thing, since you can't get a monitor below 144hz any more.
