I need help fixing my resolution.
So after doing some tweeking to the Fallout4prefs file to fit my resolution, the game opens and only shows the upper left part of the screen.

What Im talking about: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=575209972

My Resolution is 1366 x 768 if that helps.

Click options in the launcher and check to make sure you are full screen and the resolution is set to 1366 x 768.

just letting you know bethesda has made yet anothere screw up again now the launcher removes optimization and uninstalls drivers or removes them. why you may ask? duno just dont touch the graghics controll in options on the launcher also auto detect video quality screws it up too so there fix was really just an excuse to screw something else up insted after fixing one thing. its taken me two days to figure that out two days no sleep included. but yeah uninstalling and renstally or if you hit launch and it just dosent start . try hiting escape repededly as soon as you hit play on the launcher. theres a chance it could fix something you missed. that and it registers it.

as iv said launcher do not use for graphics or eventually you will start to have the issue iv had messing around with the launcher may kill your driver so basically you might have to renstall it. and yeah a buddy iv mine had the same issue.

Have you tried getting the default ini's back? Move the ini's in documents\my games\fallout4 folder to yuor desktop. Run the game through Steam's library to create new ones. Open the Options section and change your resolution to what you want.

dont alter the .ini files anymore you can use the fallout4custom.ini to make changes , it overides the .ini's (pretty handy ) .
if you messed around with the gpu control panel make sure scaling is set to aspect ratio or full screen .
in the falloutpref's it should look like this

bTopMostWindow=0
bMaximizeWindow=0
bBorderless=1
bFull Screen=1
iSize H=xxxx (your screen size )
iSize W=xxxx (your screen size )

and if the safe zone for the ui got played with it needs to look like this

[Interface]
fDefaultWorldFOV=70
fDefault1stPersonFOV=80
fSafeZoneX=15.0
fSafeZoneY=15.0
fSafeZoneXWide=64.0
fSafeZoneYWid=36.0
fSafeZoneXWide16x10=64.0
fSafeZoneYWide16x10=36.0

but the easiest fix is to delete the .ini files and let them get rebuilt , if you messed with the 2 files in the games main folder then you need to delete them and verify the game cache to re acquire those

fallout4_default.ini and in the fallout4>fallout4 folder is the fallout4pref's.ini

this isnt true and is bizarre that you think it ,
the game does not alter drivers , the .ini files do reset themselves on occassion , but if you just make the changes in the fallout4custom.ini file the problem is solved , and the changes you made will over ride the stock settings
