Can't get it to run in borderless window

[noods]

So I get the feeling this is probably kinda strange since all the topics I've seen are people having the opposite problem, i.e; they couldn't get the game to run in full screen. Whereas I can't get it to STOP being full screen. I've ticked windowless and borderless on the launcher and tried all the resolutions it offers to me, but all that happens is it loads in full screen and then blows up the resolution so I can only see a fraction of the screen.

I should also note that the only reason I want to run it windowed at all is because I can't get the game past the title screen (after clicking "new game" I get a black screen for a few seconds and then CTD) and I've heard it may be a possible solution. But if anyone has any other suggestions unrelated to it being windowed they are very much welcome too.

I take for granted that you have hardware that can run the game.

open in my documents\my games\Fallout 4\Fallout4Prefs.ini
under

[Display]
bMaximizeWindow=0
bBorderless=1
bFull Screen=1
iSize H=1080
iSize W=1920

those are what you seek change those vaule what you need
1 stands for on
0 for off
if CTD happens after new game try diffrent grafic setting.
and find what works for you
you might want to see if the Godrays are the cause for CTD
Godrays under advanced button its allways turned on unless you turn it off by hand btw

on each time the Fallout4Launcher.exe starts it will set Godrays to on!

get it to work without mods first after that you can try see if you can enable some mods.

Well that got the windowed mode to work but it still crashed after clicking new game. I don't have any mods installed on account of never being able to get into the game lol. And all the graphic settings are set to low. I don't have a high powered setup or anything but my laptop does have Nvidia GeForce 710m and I can run games like Skyrim, BioShock, Sims 3 etc with no problems. :( Any other ideas?

anyway since it also can be the drivers for your grafic or any setting on your pc
installation its hard to give you a proper response only saw some got it with that mobil chip to work,but does not say it will preform well.

your 710m is way below MINIMUM game req for Fallout 4. You can google all you want but ultimately, your in game results won't be pretty. If you can get it to run at all, you'll be running it at the lowest settings and you'll be stuttering like crazy. Good luck.

Running it through GeForce experience got it to work. Looks fine. Thanks!

i got the same problem here.

i got a Frekin 970, windforce to boost.


my problem is simple, i can't switch Setting after buying the Season pass, i tried normally, i tried Geforce experience, still nothing works, it just goes to full screen, and not borderless window
