Where is the new ambient occlusion(HBAO+) setting guys?

[Acheron]

I can't find it in game laucher.

Are you in the *beta* for the 1.3 patch? It hasn't been released to General yet.

[Brownstone]

Documents/MyGames/Fallout4
Open Fallout4Prefs.ini
Under the [NVHBAO] section, edit bEnable=1

And you downloaded the beta, right?
I'd like to warn you, HBAO is not much better than SSAO but eats a lot of performance. I also recommend enabling the new physx by setting bNVFlexEnable=1, looks nice and I didn't lose any fps.

Yeah im in the beta and my game has been update to v1.3 already.

I couldn't find it anywhere in the launcher so I enabled it this way.

Cool bro, thank you very much.

Um, what exactly does HBAO+ do?

There is no [NVHBAO] in my ini and I did updated to 1.3 beta.

I could just add [NVHBAO] and bEnable=1 myself, but that feels not right. I mean, shouldn't the [NVHBAO] and that physx thing appear automatically after update?

Any suggestion?

It is in the launcher advanced settings for me under "Ambient Occlusion". They added a new option for HBAO+ in addition to the off and SSAO that were there before. The new gun debris setting is right below that.

I don't have these options in my launcher, but my game is marked as [beta] for sure...

Odd, when in game and viewing the settings menu what version does it display. You might try opting out of beta, exiting Steam, relaunching Steam and opting back into beta. Have you tried verifying the game?

[pike]

are you using a nvidia gpu ?

[Acheron]

I just re-installed my VGA driver. And now this HBAO+ setting show up on the game laucher.

Thanks a bunch sonny Jim. I have two GTX 970s in SLI, but there is no option to enable HBAO+ in my launcher. I'll try out the INI fix and see if it works.
