Okay first I will help you optimize your game correctly,this guide can be used for NVidia cards or AMD cards. be warned this is a process that can take 20 mins or 5 if you know the basics of what your doing. This is Fallout 4 Optimization settings for almost any person having trouble.
1st, Find the Launcher.exe for fallout4, this is labelled fallout4.exe, right click, properties, and check run as ADMINISTRATOR.
Next
If you DO NOT WISH to put fourth the effort in changing these settings you can download them here as I made a .rar containing the files and where to put each. This does not include the Multi file that you must create on your own.
I need you to open
Nvidia control panel OR
Catalyst Control Center
Then go to 3d applications.
Then change it to let me decide 3d settings
Now go to manage settings and click program settings.
you should see something like
Add Fallout.exe to your Programs, this should be located in the steam folder under steam>steamapps>programs>fallout4
Now change triple buffer to
ON
now change Max Frames Rendered Ahead to
1
Now chance v-sync to
FORCE ON
Now change tesselation to
x4- VERY IMPORTANT WITH CATALYST CONTROL CENTER
Now Change the Power mode to
MAXIMUM not adaptive
Now change Texture Filtering - Trilinear Optimization to
OFF
Now I need you to go into the same directory as your fallout4.exe, in this directory you will
Create a new file named "Multi" it should be a text file. Open this text document and paste the following
tMta ON
tMtrdfl ON
tMtr ppld
Close the file and save it. I will refer to how to use this later at the end of the post. I will also tell you here, but
DO NOT DO THIS YET, to utilize this file once you have the game launched, open the console using the "~" Key and type '
bat multi'(no '')
This will load the batch file and greatly increase performance. Now in this same directory there is a file called
Fallout4prefs.ini, open this file and Search for the line using CTRL-F and Change the following lines to these.
fDirShadowDistance=1000.0000
fShadowDistance=1000.0000
iPresentInterval=0
bMouseAcceleration=0
uInterior Cell Buffer=12
uExterior Cell Buffer=144
iNumThreads=4
iNumHWThreads=4
fDefaultWorldFOV=90
fDefault1stPersonFOV=90
bForceIgnoreSmoothness=1
iVolumetricLightingQuality=0
bVolumetricLightingEnable=0
iShadowMapResolution=128
bGamepadEnable=0 (
1 if you are using gamepad
AFTER THIS IS DONE, COPY THE FILE. go to Documents>MyDocuments>MyGames>fallout 4 .
There should be 1 file with the same name as the one in steam called "Fallout4prefs.ini" Paste the new one copied from the .exe directory and replace the one currently there.
Also located in this directory is
"Fallout4.ini" Open this file
only a few changes here and listed as follows
iPresentInterval=0
iShadowMapResolutionPrimary=128
bNvGodraysEnable=0 VERY IMPORTANT
After these changes are made be sure to make it so that the files are READ ONLY, right click all 3 files, fallout4.ini fallout4pref.ini, and the steam fallout4pref.ini right click each and go to properties, then check read only.
in the settings for the game change godrays to the lowest and shadows distance and quality to lowest.
If you
DO NOT WISH to put fourth the effort in changing these settings
you can download them here as I made a .rar containing the files and where to put each. This does not include the Multi file that you must create on your own.
As stated earlier to Utilize the batch file you created you just type "
bat multi" as multi is the file name, this will load the batch file into the game.
This is the best possible optimization after hours of hard work, determination, and researching. So please, Utilize this post as it took me 30 mins to write as descriptive as a guide as possible for you, and any others suffering from any kinds of Issues with Fallout 4.
Also please respond as soon as you try these settings and inform me with your results, I can't wait to hear about the improvement.
