Impossible full screen

[Ppenox]

Full screen is impossible, the screen remains small and no matter if I select window without borders or full screen, it is always in window mode.

I've been waiting months for this update to see if they solved that and I could not change the language, or save game, the language and save has been solved, but it is impossible to put the full screen.

same problem.
Had to change scale to 100% in windows screen setting for it to even display resolution properly but then it starts in small window.
Tried changing ini file - no result.

I have the opposite, game opens way too big, i then have to click on the screen for the display to correct itself. Never did this before.

That after the update you still don't have the display options and in-game graphics settings, like every game in the world, is frustrating.

Bethesda always knows how to surprise us.

I had the same problem. Also I couldn't save any settings.
Try to delete your "Fallout 4" folder under my documents/my games if you had it installed before. That fixed it for me because messed with some ini files when I last played the game a year ago. Probably set some files to read only. Hope that helps you!

I have already tried, I have deleted all document save files and OneDrive, then I have repaired the integrity of the files in steam, but still the same.

Thanks for your help.

I have a widescreen and can only play with it stretched and very compromised graphics. I'll settle for 16/9 with a border but no matter what I do I can't seem to configure it to do that.

thanks bethesda for being useless as a dev.. ultrawide still needs to be hacked and what even are these resolutions in the launcher?

Damn.

I forgot to mention that I also forced both the "Fallout4.exe" and the "Fallout4Launcher.exe" to start with admin rights. And I deactiveted the fullscreen optimization and changed dpi mode to program/app. This plus deleting the savefolder and that did it for me.

If that won't help you, I'm sorry... :(

Thank you very much, I'll try, right now I'm angry and I'm not even going to bother trying. It's always the same with Bethesda and I don't learn.

Thanks again, I hope you enjoy the game.

So I deleted the fallout4prefs.ini while I was doing the SPECIAL bit (which forced the game into a smallish box in top left of screen). This allowed me to access the Name part. I then un-deleted the file to let me play full screen again. Just have to hope no further issues come along.

Finally simple solution for FULLSCREEN in Fallout 4 below:

The main reason is in -----OneDrive SETTING -----. You should complete setup of Windows OS by installing OneDrive, sign in there, confirm folder for OneDrive, complete installation. After that you can unlink OneDrive to stop syncing. But after you set settings for OneDrive, Steam starts to create Fallout 4 folder in correct Documents folder and not in One Drive/documents folder. And everything works fine.

The reason is that after installing OS a lot of users skip that OneDrive setup and settings and don't login into OneDrive on Windows. And this messes up those documents folders where setting file for games are saved. So don't play with registry - just complete setup of OneDrive in your Windows and then stop syncing files if you don't need it by unlinking. Fallout 4 will work in Fullscreen as you selected in Options in Fallout 4 launcher. Hope this helps.
