No 3440x1440 support in 2024 update??
Really Bethesda?... Or am I missing something?

I have 3840x1600 with windows scale to 125% the game initially acted this way:

- When started with windowed mode/borderless active I would get a screen 3072x1280 (considered native). Game start but does not fully cover the monitor, basically 3/4 of it.
- Start with windowed mode/borderless off and got a small box 1280x720 in top left corner I
had to alt-tab into. Then got fullscreen but still at 1280x720 which is horrendous on that type of monitor.

Fix because I did not want to change my desktop scale:

- In Steam in library with Fallout 4 selected. Click Gear icon. Select Manage\Browse local files.
- Go to properties of Fallout4Launcher.exe & Fallout4.exe each by right-click on those files.
- Select Compatibility tab, click button 'Change high DPI settings'
- Check Mark at the bottom of new window 'Override high DPI scaling behaviour' and select 'Application' in drop down.
- Click OK. Click OK Again.
- Do this for both EXE. Start game and in Options your Native should be right.
- And now your can choose either Borderless, Windowed or none and you will get a proper full screen at your native or selected resolution for windowed.

What? I have the game running 3440x1440 with no issues, you did select 21:9 in the settings as that then shows ALL the 21:9 resolutions :steamfacepalm:

I use a 3440x1440p monitor as well, this had me confused for a bit too...

If your native resolution on your monitor is higher than 100% then fallout won't recognise your screen size so just go to:- Settings>>Display>>Scale & adjust it to 100% then try launching fallout.

(You can change your native resolution back after you close the game and the game remembers your settings, so you should only have to do this once). Let me know if this fixes the issue.

edit Fallout4Prefs in notepad and change the following to get borderless full screen native 3440x1440 resolution. With weapon debris and vsync (iPresentInterval=0) turned off, no crashes.

iSize H=1440
iSize W=3440
bBorderless=1
bFull Screen=1
Would it be so hard for the devs to include a frigging option for this resolution in the launcher, without having to always go to the damn .ini file to set it ? It's been, I don't know, nearly 10 years the game is out ? And god knows how many updates. And with this supposed update fixing the widescreen issue that only Bethesda games seem to have - it's again a half assed effort. Really, whats going on with these people ?

Same as saying would it be hard for Bethesda not to behave like typical Bethesda. :)

If your windows display settings scale is set above 100 percent then the game wil not give you the option of 3440 so you need to make sure it is set to 100 percent

It's there, but its literally no different than what we used to have to do. The UI is still stretched out and the forced V-Sync is still on. Bethesda is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ joke.

Or you can leave your Scaling as you like it and change the specific scaling of the application like I described, as this works. The game will recognise the proper resolution for your monitor and you can continue to use your preferred scaling in windows.

I prefer to do a setting that is permanent instead of being force into setting I do not use for my main system or have to switch it each time I start or stop the game.

Yeh, sorry I didn't read this first I just tried to help with what worked for me, but I have just tried your method and it works much better. :steamhappy:

since the update 1366x768 doesn't work .. the background on the UI overlays doesn't line up and some interface elements appear off screen .. but .. with a high enough FOV it's sorta better I just can't read anything

It works on UWQHD screen ! It took me hours to find how, by accident, just in WINDOWS 11, be sure to set in parameters the screen scale to 100% and start FO4.... 3440x1440 is now there !!!!!
There is no other way (mods of cours, but i don't use it).


This is solution! I wished there was some message or note somewhere in the setting launch that let us know this.

After setting the Windows resolution scaling to 100%, the correct resolution finally appeared for me (3440x1440).

people i hear rather play fallout london, due to no problems with Screen Rez, last i hear, over all, then tod's garbage, version called "break fallout 4 patch next gen update" that i been hearing people say around lately but personally. its your oppoion. but. anywhos.

people are playing london with no Bugs or Crashes, and such, even though it hurts to say that i would rather play fallout london more often then paly this verison,

but over all fallout 4 is decent, time to time, when you want to come back for the lore game, or just to build and make stuff and all that. i will say i love the building stuff and dlc on here i keep returning to fallout 4. just because starfield doesnt have building stuff unlike fallout 4 does. but personally. its what ever you think is best,

but if you have not played fallout 4 london, i would say start here deal with the brokenness. Screen and cap at 60hz. and then mash it out then play fallout london,


also hope you figure the problem you are having though Happy hunting :D
