Hi,

unfortunately like previous fallout titles fallout 4 doesnt support native 21:9.
I changed the values and I can play with 3440x1440 resolution but I cant find the fOV value?

How about the in game hud, is it stretched?

Thanks for the link ! worked great

the hud is messed up a little but i hope someone will fix this soon

This is killing me having to play with these black bars on each side. If someone can let me know the fix i'm willing to paypal you some money ASAP! Here's my Fallout4Prefs.ini

iSize H=1080
iSize W=2160 (if you have a higher resolution monitor then change accordingly)

Now we need a someone to fix the HUD bug (HUD gets streched out) that happens when using the method above.

Yes Please a hud fix would be very nice! The background color of messages and popups being misplaced is also confusing

I hope Flawless Wide Screen add support for this game.

I found this !

http://www.pcmrace.com/2015/11/09/epic-shots-fallout-4/

In the pictures he got some funky resolution after applying the preset there is no change in the launcher

Not sure why this isn't working for me. I get a full screen but there's black bars on each side and the playable screen is only in the middle of my wide-screen.

This steam post answers a lot of questions, but does not contain a hud fix

"Unlock Frame Rate, Change FOV, Skip Intro Video, 21:9 Support and Remove Mouse Acceleration"

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfile...scn=1447077828

Guys please follow this link http://help.bethesda.net/app/ask/p/695/pf/PC and ask support to add native 21:9 aspect ratio and Ultrawide resolutions to the game.

Don't think there is a point in doing that.
They have never had surround working working natively and they never will.


I'm just waiting for a fix.



For anyone that can fix the issues (HUD Stretching, text enlarged) by Friday I will donate $100 to them.

Holy shit. May be worth making a separate topic to help you achieve that. That'd be cool if someone was able to figure it out. Skyrim has 21:9 support modded in, right? Might be able to figure it out by looking at how someone solved it there, considering it's the same engine.

I'd be willing to donate some cash too. About $30 or so. I'm not terribly wealthy atm

such a bummer.. :^( someone posted that screenshot of it running at a 3x1 multi monitor setup and i was so excited, but the launcher has no options (as has been said). May mess with some ini settings, but for the moment i may just want to play for a bit.... hrm. tough call

So i did all of the fixes and it WORKS.. Buuuuut, personally i find it unplayable. Text stretched across all screens, FMV's are zoomed in, with Hud stretches part is far left and part is far right. Some games i can handle this on, but fallout is not one of them. Going back to 1080 until fix is figured out!

There's already a thread on this:

ahhh that is the thread where i saw the screens! Google fails me, a google search on wsgf "fallout 4" takes me to this one.

Anyone who can fix this for 21:9 will get a donation from me as well

does not work
iSize H=1080
iSize W=2560

This does work well for to get the game in 3440*1440:



However I get a weird shadow over a big part of the screen most of the time (it goes away if I look up or down enough)

Picture from forum user TheWitcher posted in the multi-monitor gaming sub forum.

If anyone can find a fix to that it would be playable, I dont care too much for the hud stretch

I am getting this, too. Trying to figure out what's going on, but no luck yet. I have a 780 Ti. I saw that someone else reported an issue with this at 16:9, so I don't think it's a 21:9 issue.

Is there a way to turn of the darker green background color of the hud and popups? If it wasn't for that misplaced background color I wouldn't even realize that it is stretched.

I use bTopMostWindow=1 instead of bTopMostWindow=0.

I also applied the fixes for Fallout4Prefs.ini in BOTH these locations:

...\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Fallout4

and

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\My Games\Fallout4

bTopMostWindow will keep your game window on top of everything else, so you wont be able to alt tab and bring something else over the game window, like firefox for example. Either setting will work though.

I'm getting the same shadow glitch as xmadror.

EDIT: Stepped down my resolution to 2560x1080 and the shadow glitch has disappeared.

OK, thank you.

So maybe it's just a matter of changing the settings in all files?

Same glitch as xmadror. Its usually in dark places as in vault, inside a building or during a night. No problem outside in daylight.

Also i noticed problem with aiming with sniper rifle : http://imgur.com/35mbCVl

I'm getting the same glitches as those already reported. I'm also having stability issues, crashes quite frequently.
Seems we'll just have to play in 16:9 for now until a fix pops up. It's a shame that F4 seems to have all the same SLI and ultrawide/multimonitor issues that Skyrim and F3 had etc.
I would've thought that this time round they'd have addressed it for us!

Same glitch here on my ultrawide 3440x1440 monitor.
Hoping for a fix soon...
Running latest Nvidia drivers aswell.

Ultra-wide-brothers: please take the time to bump my request for help on the official forum:

http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1545334-ultra-wide-resolutions-support/

Yesterday i sent an email to their support about this issue, they didn't reply so far. Their customer service is BS.

Edit: I only hope that Hayden do something about this issue and update Flawless Widescreen.

Me 2 and I guess they even replied but its a prewritten idiots faq, nothing to do with my request

does anybody has a twitter account - i would love to write to pete hines what he thinks about this Topic

He was asked multiple times on twitter if the game would support 21:9.

there was no answer, they want people to buy it and find out themselves.

then lets make some SPAM ... bomb him and all email accounts - WE WANT 21:9 !!!!

Well, I bought it and found out. I also refunded my game. Hopefully they add it in the future or someone else makes a good fix for it. SLI support would be nice, too.

Hey guys please support/bump the multi screen request for Fallout 4 -> http://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/di ... 379959303/

Thanks

I bumped it.. but I expect it to be paid about as much attention to as it has in the last 7 years unfortunately. Has anyone been in contact with Hayden? If he doesn't have the game yet we need to all pitch in and get the game into his steam library.

Helifax is looking into this (see the multi-monitor topic). Hopefully one or both of them can figure something out.

I made a post on Bethesda's forums as well.

http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/154611 ... -game-but/

Feel free to contribute to the discussion there if you like. Bethesda lost a few points with me on this one, and they didn't have many to begin with. If something comes around to fix this I may be back but otherwise I'm on to other things.

BTW, great community, and great info on this site. I've lurked for a long while and found it very useful.

Hello everyone.
I came across a fix for lighting bug which causes a "dark rectangle" to appear on your screen.
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =551651145

Change bComputeShaderDeferredTiledLighting=1 to 0 in your Fallut4Pref.ini

Remember to do this for both folders!

(C:\Users\[name]\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\)
AND
(steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Fallout 4)

Someone said that it changes the graphical appearance, but if anything has changed, I haven't noticed.

Well, that's one issue that has been solved.

Is it really necessary to make this change in both locations? This blog post indicates that the change only needs to be done in the Documents location.

Thanks!

Let's hope this fix will come soon.. :c

It really is annoying with the stretched HUD but at least it is still playable, Does anyone know how to remove the dark green background on the HUD? I feel like I would barely even notice the HUD was stretched if there werent background pieces in the wrong places. It would be a great fix for it temporarily while waiting for a proper fix

Hope someone with the skills to do so can fix this soon, I would certainly donate to whoever that is for this game

Looks like this may be worth watching http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/274

Not tested any myself, still finishing Witcher 3 and hoping for a comprehensive solution by the time I start on FO4.

I do not understand his instructions

EDIT: I read the comments and I got it to work.

This is solid. I hope he makes more progress

Is anyone using Haldi's fix from the eyefinity/surround thread? He said it's hardcoded to 5760x1080 but there are some 21:9 users commenting. I'm assuming they are 2560x1080 and the fix is working with their res.

Anyone tried 3440x1440? Lets keep this thread moving as well we need to gain some momentum!

On the multi-screen forum thread someone posted this...



I tried the change to fDefaultFOV=60 as mentioned by Urzru. I did not change the other 2 FOV values.

On my single 2560x1080 display it corrects the horizontal green backgrounds on the UI but unfortunately not the vertical.

Much better than not doing it tho, and currently no adverse side effects.. pip boy same size etc.

Cheers
-LC-

Where is the fDefaultFOV value? I have fDefaultWorldFOV=95 and fDefault1stPersonFOV=95. But cant find the other one??

add the line within [display] part of fallout.ini, and both falloutprefs.ini

Thanks! The loading screen is zoomed in but I guess in the game everything is fine

Update: The Power Armor Hud is zoomed in and the bottom half cut off

I tried the fix on nexusmods on a 2560x1080 asus mx299q and it appears to fix the hud

Yea, I guess 2560x1080 users are getting good results across the board. I've yet to see a fix of any kind that fix hud and other elements for 3440x1440.

Any updates? I'm assuming the FWS plugin would take care of it but it looks like it's going to be awhile, lots of work.

Ocelot are using the fix from haldi in the multimonitor thread or have you just edited your own values? I'm trying to find out if that fix works but he says its hardcoded to 5760x1080, but I see multiple people from here posting hud fixes over there.

Leafcutter, youre on 3440 x1440 yes? What are you using as a baseline?

I manually added the value to the ini file but its not ideal because some hud elements like the power armor are zoomed in and not readable.
I have a 3440x1440 monitor btw.

Damn any word on HaYden fix? I wonder how long it takes him to make these masterpieces. It seems like a hell of a lot of work.

I'm waiting too. The fix on nexusmods doesn't correct every component of the game

This is a 3440 X1440 fix for the power armor hud by 360 no crowbar scope.

http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/f ... =554149762

That's not a realy fix, it simply increases the Size to span over the whole Monitor.... well that's one way to do it.


Btw, yes the 5760x1080 is hardcoded, but that's actually wrong. It's only 3840x720p it simply scales up exactly to 5760x1080.
The same goes for 3440x1440, if you modify the header all files to 1707x720p that will work for 2560x1080 and all 21:9 aspect ratios..... most likely.


Well yeah...

anyone could try this?


If anything doesn't seem right.... Screenshot!

I'm getting a refund... can't be bothered with all this faff. games not that good anyway... dated graphics etc etc.

may give Rebel Galaxy another look... 2 man dev team... 21:9 first time start.

sorry to be negative.

-LC-

Everything seemed OK, but I tried very, very briefly as I can't play right now.

Actually there is one thing, it looks like the crosshair when not aiming down the sight was too big, maybe it's just me:



Slight bit of off dark green off on the main menu (maybe it's supposed to be like that, it was really minor) otherwise what I saw looked good.

Haldi, I just tried your fix and while 1st person view looks nicer unfortunately the crafting screens all got shifted to the left and there's a lot of misalignment on the workshop especially.



edit: sorry about the large .png files earlier. oops.

Not sure about the crosshair, sometimes i think it's to big in Eyefinity too.... but i don't have 16:9 comparison screenshots ^^




Well yeah, they're put to the left because the only thing this HUD Fix does is remove the stretch. Luckily the Health, Compass and Ammu are left, centered and right aligned. the Workshop isn't it's all left bound, the only thing we can easily do is center it. If you wan't to you can modify each and every element itself to have more space between them.
And again we're talking about Interface fixes, if the tiny 3d Preview items are in the wrong place that (probably) has nothing to do with this, so i have no idea how to fix it.





Tutorial how to edit .ba2 files
Things you need:
.ba2 un(re-)packer from here: http://www.loverslab.com/topic/54891-f4-ba2-unpack/
JPEXS Free Flash Decompiler from here: https://www.free-decompiler.com/flash/download/
the original Fallout4 Interfaces.ba2 (or you can use my modified version)

What to do?

• Start up the quickbms.exe
• select f4.bms as plugin
• select the Fallout4 - Interface.ba2 to unpack
• select the target folger

You have now an unpacked archive and can modify all .swf files how you wan't em.

What to change?
You have the heade of the .swf file, most of the time it's enough to simply change that to the Aspect Ratio you want.
Original is 25'600x14'400 twips aka 1280x720 pixel (Yep... it's simply x 20) if you wan't 21:9 you don't set it to your Resolution of 3440x1440 but leave it the 720p in height and simply set the according 1706 pixel wide aka 34'120 twips




How to center the HUD
If you're using mutliple Monitors you can Center the whole Hud via .ini Edits in the Fallout4.ini in myDocuments:

It's trial and Error there.... just play around until you have your Hud at the perfect position.
Be aware... this numbers are NOT the pixels of your resolution but the pixel of your HUD, so if you modified your hud for 3840x720 you'd need to add 1280+20 (border) for the SafeZoneXWide

How to prevent certain Elements from being Left aligned?
Stuff like Examine and Workshop are all left aligned, if you want them to be over the whole Monitor you'd need to modify each element itself.
If you wan't them to be Centered you can modify the whole Frame. you go to "Frames" select "frame 1" select tha "place Object blablabla" and search for the "translateX: SB[n TranslateBits] = 000" in "matrix". With this you can move the whole Frame segment.
Be aware that this are NOT pixels but twips (pixel x 20) and that the maximum X lenght is defined in the header of the file, not your gaming resolution.



How to fix the green shades?
According to Galnix the green shades are caused by the "bUseShadedBackground = true;" in the script part of the .swf file.

If you remove them from the HUDMenu.swf and FavoritesMenu.swf it looks way better... they're totally gone though, not fixed.


How to recompile the .swf files into a .ba2
it's written in the readme of the quickbms
ATM this only works via CMD, here is the command i'm using:

important note on reimporting. you need ALL .swf files in this Folder you want to reimport, if you only import the changed ones the archive structure might get broken and you can't start Fallout4.
When you get the error "this file is bigger than the original and can't be reimportet: Yes, no, force" always use the Force!

That's about it.... i think.

Hey Haldi,

thanks for your efforts and for your time - really appreciate that.
Can you some say which value i have to edit to get the "green" shades into possition? I edited the resolution (i'm playing at 3440x1440), and used your interface ba2 and the hud element fix which is available on nexusmods.


but the shades are still wrong. how can i bring them into position? You wrote fDefaultFOV=XX ... is that the *.ini in the Steam folder or the mygames/ Folder ???

Thanks for input!

Why would you use the one from nexus and Haldi's?

Anyways, it's impossible to completely fix the shadows right now. You can add something like fDefaultFOV=60 to all the .ini files under Display and it'll be somewhat aligned but you'll also have to mess with the power armor hud to compensate for the fact that it gets zoomed in too much.

updated the Tutorial about how to remove green shades.

Have you guys tried this fix on nexus mods?

It works pretty well for me

http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/ ... w%3D&pUp=1

Hi Haldi!

Thanks for the tutorial i cant seem to get the files to recompile. I did everything exactly like you said but nothing gets reimported...
I get a "signature of 4 bytes at offset 0x00000000 doesn't match the one" error....

must be something wrong with your folder structure.

_________________
We gonna send it to outa space!

i took Halids file fixed green shades and workshop alignment repack again but there are no changes. Im not sure what im doing wrong??!!

I also made it from scratch:
- unpack the interface file
-changed all the necessary values
-repacked it (force reimport)
-put it back and replaced the original file
-unpack the new file to be sure the values are changed

but in game there are no changes what so ever....i dont get it?!

@haldi can you please update your 21:9 interface with fixing the alignment and removing the green shades?

update: I also used the hudmenu file from Galnix in the interface folder after changing the ini file but that doesnt work neither...

Update 2: after using halide 21:9 interface I can say that the main hud elements are fine but everything else like critical hit, trade, workshop, vats enemy stats are pretty messed up...

I'm sorry but I don't have a 21:9 Monitor.
I can't test it. Therefore absolutely no motivation to thinker around with HUD positioning.

What I can try is a reimport.
If you zip all Swf files which you've modified and upload them. I can try create a ba2 archive.

_________________
We gonna send it to outa space!

Just registered to say an absolutely massive thanks to Haldi for the work you've done on this!

Initially the problems caused by playing at a 21:9 resolution I thought I could look over as, apart from this, the game played and looked beautiful even at 21:9. But the more I played the more broken HUD elements I kept finding which, while insignificant, was starting to ruin the experience.

The 21:9 interface file that you've supplied is a great starting point and fixes the major HUD elements on a 3440x1440 resolution. Also the detailed tutorial of how to edit the .swf files is spot on and with it I've been able to fix a few easy to mend menus with this guide. FYI for people running 3440x1440 I'm finding changing the translateX values set at 0 to between 4000-4250 being the magic number to center some of the menus (working for the Perk, Workshop, Lockpicking, Book Text, Sleep & Wait and even the fade to black menu) on this resolution.

I've not yet gone through every menu and there are some where it is not as easy to fix but it's now at the point where the major stuff\things I care about are fine and I can now play the game and just enjoy the beauty and random shenanigans that Fallout always delivers. Again a massive thank you for your hard work!

4800 worked well to center the workshop for 2560x1080, does anyone know which files to adjust for the other crafting stations?

I've got SLI up and running, fixed so 3440x1440 works just fine... only one annoying thing left... the damn sniper scope. Anyone knows what to change in the ini-files?

I've been using this for the sniper scope. http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/320/

Not a total fix, as it removes the black circle, but has the desired effect and works just fine for me.

Thanks for the offer! I just want to remove the green shades but cant get it to work.
I fixed the files HUDMenu and FavoritesMenu like the tutorial. Put them in the Data/Interface folder but it just doesnt work.
The scope fix works to interface so the game is accessing that folder.
Can you do me a favor and check the files and see if they work for you? That would be very appreciated.
You can also use the search tool in ffdec and search for bUseShadedBackground and you will see I have changed all the values to pushfalse but I have still all the shades.

Thanks!

If anyone could compile the fixes into an interface.ba2 or for Haldi to do so, I would be forever grateful.

Still using the surround HUD for 21:9 in the mean time, which works well, but it's so skinny!

Not ini you'd need to change the SWF file itself. Not sure how well it would work on 21:9 tough. might still be black borders.
If nothing else you can stretch the whole thing.
I've written how to here: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.ph ... 12#p162512


Can't, don't have a 21:9 Monitor
compiled a .ba2 for you with original files.


Added the two .swf files to my 21:9 folder, how does it look?

Created an account just to tell you how amazing you are Haldi and to give you feedback. It looks like there is an issue with the compass in power armor. The compass is fine when you're not in power are, but the second you go in it shifts the location icons around. I created a gif to show you. http://giphy.com/gifs/3o85xyLsrYytlx4KE8

I am using the .ini edits to fix the power armor UI, I tested without it and it still does the same thing.

Thanks for all your hard work!

Here's another .ba2 for you guys to try. This is for 2560x1080 but might work for 3440x1440 as well.

Screens:

Fallout4 - Interface.ba2: (link removed)
Let me know if there are any problems but keep in mind that I've just been following Haldi's tutorials and winging it so no promises.

Ci7rus for just winging it you've done a fantastic job. Now I only had a few minutes before work to download the file and do a quick look, but everything looks pretty spot on. Yours doesn't have the same issue with the compass in power armor that Haldi's had. Maybe we could create a list of all the menus that need to be looked at and when I get home from work I can take a bunch of screen shots.


Thanks everyone who has taken time away from their personal lives to help out the community.

Thanks Haldi but I did something wrong im not sure what it is so there were not changes.
I have a 3440x1440 Monitor and Ci7rus file worked great except for the scope and when it rains the shade is not filling the entire screen in the power armor.

Thank you both !!

Ah, that sucks. If putting the original scopemenu.swf in data\interface doesn't override what I did let me know and I'll repack another .ba2 with it. Afraid I can't do much else on that front since I don't have a 3440x1440 monitor.

More Details? Screenshot? I have no idea what could be wrong.


Btw, Talking about ScopeMenu.swf

I've modified Ci7rus file and tried something.
Anyone could test this and send some Screenshots of Quadratic and Round scope?
P.S there are Shape 14 and 70.svg included in the zip. I've Managed to modify them for 21:9 but i'm not sure if the reimport worked it says take a .bmg /.png file and not .svg ~.~
I'm not really keen on raw editing the DefineShape (70)

There's no change in game unfortunately, it'll only show the same 16:9 area.

Sadly when you use your Interface in 5760x1080 and zoom the game crashes xD

Good news ? the years of CNC milling paid off raw edit is pretty easy. it'll be fixed soon... i think

Take this. Modified your .ba2 with the new ScopeMenu.swf
At least i think so.... maybe.... lots of screenshots of round and quadratic scope plx
*Edit: Deleted Attachment that failed*

No luck, the game crashes as soon as I try to zoom

Doesn't work.
If you place the .swf file directly into the interface folder (with ini edit) it won't load it anymore (at least it looks like it will take the original .ba2 and not the modified .swf anymore) and if you pack it into a .ba2 it will crash

Just out of curiosity you could try it.
Recatangle fixed, round one should be shifted to the left.

so the only working .ba2 is the one from Ci7rus without the scope fix?

I can live with that I hope I dont get the glitch I had with the other fixes that my Pipboy sometimes disappeared. Pressing Tap only the text on the bottom appeared but no pipboy...

Thanks for your hard work Haldi and Ci7rus.
@Ci7rus: I used your modified interface but there is a problem with Power Armor HUD; it won't fill the entire screen. Check the screenshot that i provided:

Important Values for Scope fix:
We have a header for 1706x720p aka 34'120 x 14'400
We want the round and rectangle scope aka "DefineShape (14) and DefineShape (70)

Simple Fix: Stretch the whole damn Scope.
Go to DefineSprite (71) /frame 1 / PlaceObject2 (70)
Matrix -> hasScale tick that and enter 34120

Complicated fix with a chance of crash: Modifie the object to have increased black borders.
Go to DefineShape (70) right click "Raw Edit"
"shapeBounds" X min and X Max increase to fit 21:9 resolution.
"shapes" -> "shapeRecords" Now it gets funny i hope you have knowledge of SVG vectors or incremental drawings.
in [13] StyleCHangeRecord you see the "moveDeltaX : SB[moveBits] = 17739" As you know 17739 is the same Number as in the Xmax, hooray you just found the Top right Corner. Increasethis number to the the half of the new X size
in [14] we have deltaX : SB[numBits + 2] = -35478 This means it goes to the bottom left. increase this number (still negative!) to the new total size of the Xmax
in [15] we're going from bottom to top, ignore that we didn't change the height.
in [16] we're going back from left to right, deltaX : SB[numBits + 2] = 35478 also needs to be increased to total xMax

That's it!
If you wan't to fix the round scope (14), try something Similar
The problem here is that this one is NOT Centered, so you only have a xMax value and xMin is 0
This means the Scope itself will not be centered... Even if you change all 4 corners to increase the size the scope will be somewhere in the Left -.-
You can either try to fix this by using a "xMin" value of -XXX where this value should be how much black you've added on the left side (total new size - total old size / 2 ) or you could try editing the [0] StyleChangeRecord "moveDeltaX : SB[moveBits] = 19156" and hope you get it centered somehow ^^
Which one of those methods will result in a scope that has the center there where you shoot? no idea ^^

@apachewarrior are you sure you used the right one? Here are some screenshots with Ci7rus fix with a 3440x1440 monitor.

Hi everybodies, i missed some of the older post... At what point are the works? Some news for an official fix?

Ci7rus Thanks a lot for the fix, everything is pretty awesome except for the power armor HUD, which for me is unchanged at 21:9 2560x1080.

Apache and Swiggedy, try pasting this into the Fallout4.ini under Interface in your my games folder.

fUIPowerArmorGeometry_TranslateW=0.00001
fUIPowerArmorGeometry_TranslateZ=14.0000
fUIPowerArmorGeometry_TranslateX=0.0001
fUIPowerArmorGeometry_TranslateY=265.0000

That's for 3440x1440, but sure if it works for 2560x1080.

It will make it miles better until there's a proper fix.

I'll try messing with power armor a bit more but afaik it kinda has the same issues as the sniper scope in that if you want it to go all the way across the screen the only way to do it is to force it to stretch. For now though, you can try experimenting with the ini tweeks described here.

As for the shade behind the compass and other parts of the UI, unfortunately nobody has found out how to get rid of all of it yet.

Edit: I put the default power armor hud back in on the off chance it plays nicer with the ini edits or anything else you might want to do with it:

2560x1080

3440x1440 (this also has the default sniper scope)

Using Ci7rus's file and the tweek he just linked makes it seem almost 100% fixed.

Yea that works.

Where do I place the interface.ba2 file and is there anything else I need to do to enable it?

Just dump it in, \steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data

There will already be a file called interface.ba2, I just renamed the original one and put in the new one. You will need other mods to fix power armor and the scope.

it will auto run in 3440x1440? Do I need to set the resolution and fullscreen exclusive in the ini?

I used this configuration tool to set my resolution. If you don't set your resolution in the ini it won't work correctly. I also use boarderless windowed mode not full screen.http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/102/?

Using your file and your .ini fix it goes well! <3

A small update, I removed most of the background shade from the button bars and I think I managed to get all the popup messages from the main HUD as well. I also fixed the wonky load screen issues and fade.

2560x1080

*NEW LINK*3440x1440

I forgot to repack the new scopes file for 3440x1440, nothing is really different except that I removed the background shade from the button bar. I'll play around with it some more later to try and get it to scale properly like the 2560 version for those people who don't want to just get rid of it entirely.

great job Ci7rus! except for the compass shade which is not annoying at all everything is removed!

Thanks a lot!!!

okay, the first look is great. i'm testing it with Scope black box fix.

You mean the shadow rendering issues are from running in 21:9?

Well there goes my hope of fixing this game.


Edit: Great work on the HUD fix though; it's really come far in the last week.

Only issue I noticed in my short test was that the text corrupts itself when mousing over things in the menu. It only happens for an instant though. (2560x1080)

I was probably talking about the background shade for the UI.

If you're talking about the black box issue that appears in 3440x1440 then change bComputeShaderDeferredTiledLighting=1 to 0 in your Fallout4Pref.ini

Nope, I mean this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pwKYXn1-7M and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdRWmj0-FIg

Tried to google about it but came up empty. It's extremely annoying and is probably contributing to my framerate drops, as my FPS drops (by 5!) when the shadows aren't being rendered correctly.

Thought it might be because I wasn't running the latest 'optimized' drivers, but now I am.. and there's been zero changes to IQ or performance.. except now that the game's internal Vsync is bugged and locking me to half my refresh rate (30fps).

Edit: Disabled ingame vsync and discovered something very interesting: The game loads orders of magnitude faster. I'm talking like 4 seconds on a fresh startup to load into the wasteland, and a second to reload the save. This is down from 30+ seconds on fresh startup and 10+ seconds on a reload.

Now to hope someone makes a mod that disables Vsync during loading.. which will probably never happen. Maybe I can hotkey RTSS somehow to turn off the cap? There's gotta be some way to workaround this.. It's ludicrous that the game even functions like this.
