Fallout 4 (Official Thread)

[Animal House]

I'm confused about power armor too. Where do I put it in Sanctuary? I'm still trying to build my settlement, and I even watched that tutorial video, but I'm still confused. How do I do it brehs?

Its easy just explore, keep items that go into the junk tab, store that shyt into the workbench and build away. You are going to need some perks for certain shyt but this is reall easy to do once you figure out what you want. Also say you want to buld a certain turret and dont have all the materials, you can press R1 i believe. and when you run into the the material you highlighted in the field there will be a magnifying glass above it

By the way brehs, my suit ran out of juice and I had to leave it in the museum will it stay there until I find another fusion core?

Reading the other posts I might walk it with no power to sanctuary

Fast travel breh thats what i did

i just killed a legendary deathclaw on the first try

he popped up suddenly and started attacking my companion. i threw two molotovs on him will he they fought, then started backing up and bottle cap mines...

he side stepped the first two and i thought that was it.... he the third and final one got him and i fell off a small cliff he couldnt follow me down. he ran back the other way and threw a grenade and it crippled his leg. hit him with 3 more grenades as he tried to limp toward me then finished him off with an assault rifle

rest in piss faggit

Im picking up everything I see and ending up overweight a lot. Any tips on this. I can't fast travel when I'm fat so I end up leaving shyt all iver

Customize your gear to increase your carry weight, unlock the strong back perk too

Ay @Ciggavelli ,@daze23 @MeachTheMonster Do you guys get a frame loss of up to 15fps or more when you look in this direction at the rocket mart?

Right here. If I look at it I would get a big frame drop no matter the setting.

Well I found this post on reddit and I applied it(I made a backup of my fallout4.ini just in case) and I don't know but this shyt seems to fix my issue. I'm standing there and looked in that direction and I was at a locked 60fps. I even waited and passed time to see what would happen and it was just the same. I'm quite shocked.

Put these under [General] in Fallout4.ini (set to read-only)

uInterior Cell Buffer=24
uExterior Cell Buffer=288
bUseThreadedBlood=1
bUseThreadedMorpher=1
bUseThreadedTempEffects=1
bUseThreadedParticleSystem=1
bUseThreadedAI=1
bUseMultiThreadedFaceGen=1
bUseMultiThreadedTrees=1
iNumHWThreads=8

No, my game stays at 60, even when looking at the Rocket Mart.

If I could get rid of this damn shimmering though...

I'm about to this this post I found on Gaf.

For those messing around with shadow distance, I want to share my findings and current settings.

I was able to put the shadow distance up to 20000 (Ultra) and keep 60 FPS by doing the following.


Fallout4Prefs.ini (set to read-only)

• fDirShadowDistance=20000
• fShadowDistance=20000
• iDirShadowSplits=2

I also changed the world FOV back to 80 as per jorimt's suggestions above. It does make a difference but of course that means a FOV of 80.... Currently trying to find a way to make it stick with .ini commands, but I think it would be:

Fallout4.ini (read-only)
[Display]
fDefaultWorldFOV=80
fDefault1stPersonFOV=90

Put god rays on Low with everything else at Ultra.

I also used these tweaks found on reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/fo4/comment...ks_still_work/

Put these under [General] in Fallout4.ini (set to read-only)

uInterior Cell Buffer=24
uExterior Cell Buffer=288
bUseThreadedBlood=1
bUseThreadedMorpher=1
bUseThreadedTempEffects=1
bUseThreadedParticleSystem=1
bUseThreadedAI=1
bUseMultiThreadedFaceGen=1
bUseMultiThreadedTrees=1
iNumHWThreads=8

^I can confirm these made a difference of about 5-6 fps.

My specs:
4770k @4.0
MSI GTX980 no OC
16mb RAM
Win 10
Latest nVidia drivers
Borderless full screen

The area I tested was from the catwalks at the Corvega factory looking North (I think) over Lexington. Before these tweaks my frames tanked to 42 and everywhere in-between while finalizing the settings above, but now they're holding at 60 without compromising shadow distance. I'm going to play more tonight to see how it holds up.

My coworker and i were just talking about why Witcher3 stans feel so threatened by Fallout, there really are not that many similarities

Ight. Mines was dropping when I look in the direction of Concord. I'm gonna see if this shadow distance thing works..

People are silly as fukk. I have both and my enjoyment of one has nothing to do with the other.
