Widescreen Gaming Forum

I am not able to apply the FWS fix. I have tried deleting the Fallout4Pref.ini and Fallout4.ini files in the My games/Fallout 4 directory. I have also deleted the Fallout4Pef.ini file in the Fallout 4 directory in my steam installation. Relauching the game has recreated the vanilla 2 files in My games/Fallout 4 directory but not recreated the file in the steam installation. I have tried FWS with automatic detection on and off. Nothing seems to work. I have been at this for several hours and tried to follow the posts in the previous pages but I cannot get the FWS plugin to work. Running windows 7. Can someone please help?

Currently all the .ini files are set to run on at 16.9 and 1920x1080, and have not been edited.
My eyefinity is set up correctly (running crysis 3 with no issues).
Do I have to run the app then close it before starting the game or does it need to run in the background?

The app needs to stay running, it can be minimized or such, just not closed. This does not mean it will work, as I can not get it working my self.

If I run the app minimised without altering any other settings all that happens is that it displays the game on my left monitor instead of the middle one, with cut off text.
do I have to alter any other files?

Hello all,

first sorry for my nasty english (i'm not english), i left school in 1985. My problem:

Since i install the beta-patch 1.3 the game crashes when i go to the building part. If i install the original Interface.ba2 file i can enter the building part, but the transfer-menu is very big and not usable.

So i think, the moddded interface.ba2 is not fully compatible with the new patch. Is there a chance that someone can fix the modded interface.ba2 so that the building part can be accessed?

Oh i forgot, i play on three 27" monitor with NV-Surround in 5760x1080.

At last i want to tell you that you are doing a very great job!!

Greetings
Helmut

I wonder if it's the Windows 7 that is the issue. Flawless Widescreen has worked for me at 5760x1200 on Windows 10, Surround with dual 970s.

The only issues I had with it were the quest icons and recon scope target markers not appearing in the right spot unless you look right at them, and the console area stretching into the other monitors a bit as if it was maybe sized for a 1080 height then was stretched in all dimensions until it fit my 1200 pixel height. I went back to using the other HUD fix mainly for the recon scope part because that's my scope of choice, but otherwise it was good.

I can also confirm that the new patch 1.3 CTD when I try to go into build mode with the interface.ba2. In the mean time, flawless widescreen sort of works, except I cant see my health bar, stamina, and any notifications that pop up. I'm running at 7680 x 1440.

I cant get Fallout 4 working with Flawless Widescreen either. I run NV surround 7680 x 1440 on Windows 10. When I have applied the fix in FWS, the only thing I can see on screen (the middle one) is a green vertical bar and no text.

I really would like to get this working, but everything I have tried so far renders this result. Maybe I should try the .ba2 edit instead.

How does one reset the changes that FWS makes to the game settings? Is there a way to do it without a reinstall of the game?

i've made a small update for Haldi's adjusted interface file, as i can't get the flawless widescreen patch to work with the current beta, and entering workshop mode with the current patch causes an instant crash. i'm uploading it here in the hope this proves useful to others.

Workshop with the new and rather lackluster settler job "menu" has been re-adjusted (as per Haldi's original fix).
The power armour hud's compass scale has been corrected (this was bothering me).
Translation files have been updated.
Includes the fix for the SPECIAL menu.

This should work whether you're on the beta or not, but i make no guarantees as i haven't personally tested it without.

and fwiw: thanks for all the hard work

Many, many thanks to you Warboy1982 and the guy who made the File (Haldi ?)!!! You both are great programmers and it is very nice that you share your work with the community.

Everything is working now like a charm. I played about 5 hours yesterday (shame to me, i know...) and there wasn't one single CTD.

Have a nice weekend all
Helmut

glad to hear it got you back up and running, Helmut.

a small update: i noticed the icons on the map were a little messed up, so i updated it to the new version as well.

I take it I have to download the file unzip it and apply the changes to the correct text file.
I cannot unzip it as it is saved as a xxxxx.7z not xxxxx.zip

http://www.7-zip.org/

Better than zip

Thanks Haldi.
I have already expanded it using winrar (with help from warboy1982)
I have now been playing it on three monitors.
The only irritation is the text size when bartering or collecting items is very large.

Has anyone tried this:

Just curious about how well it performs, but don't want to trash my game as it is mostly perfect....finally.

Hi. I was hoping someone might be able to help me. I have been playing F4 for about a month now on a 5760X1080 setup. I have been using a combination of Flawless Widescreen and the Widescreen Fix mod by Daisuke. Although not perfect, it was good enough for me to play. then all of a sudden about two days ago, something happened and it doesn't work right anymore. As far as I can tell, the Widescreen Fix mod is still doing what it's supposed to, but the Flawless Widescreen is no longer having an effect. the main thing that is impacted is when I am at a workbench, or bartering with someone. The text now goes off the top/bottom of the screen, so I can't see all of it. I tried running F4 with and without Flawless Widescreen running, and it looks exactly the same. it's like it all of a sudden doesn't have an impact anymore.

See below...



the Flawless Widescreen box says this

-"Fallout 4 - Path=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Fallout4.exe (64bit)
Base Address=0x3F5F0000, Process ID=4596, Version=Automatically Detect (Hybrid) -> Detected: 1.2.37.0 (Steam)
Resolution=5760x1080, Aspect=5.333, Monitors=3x1, Bezel Comp=False - (\\.\CustomDisplay on FWS Virtual Adapter)

(First Person FOV) FOV=80.00 (Third Person FOV) FOV=70.00 (Weapon FOV) FOV=80.00
(HUDScaling) Right=5760, Bottom=1080, Left=1920, Top=0, Width=1920, Height=1080, HUDAspect=1.78, HUDRatio=3.04

so it obviously detects the game. Does anyone know why this might have happened all of sudden and how I might fix it. I have not made any other changes to my game that would have caused this.

Thanks!

I am almost 100% certain this is due to the 1.3 patch that has occurred. I am getting the exact same thing as you. I am not using FWS because it just didn't work on my system. So I was using the stuff that worked fine from before. Now I am unable to use the trading interface at all. Most of it is offscreen. This is the same type of problem I had when first making a character. You could not assign your SPECIAL stats because most of the box was offscreen. UGH!!!!


EDIT TO ADD: I also cannot see the weapon status info on the HUD (ammo remaining, etc.), nor can I see my health status.



OK EDITED TO ADD MORE:

I was able to fix this, mostly. Normally I never used FWS because it just didn't do anything that the old fixes didn't do and it was actually worse on some. But I decided to try it anyway. No effect. OK so now I went in and restarted the game and on a whim, looked at the Settings screen from the preload screen (i.e. not in game). The graphics settings were all set really low. So I manually set everything back to Ultra level. The aspect setting was 16:9 and I left it there. Upon running the game everything was working as intended...actually better. All the green rectangles are now where they are supposed to be.

The only problem still is that I cannot see my health or my weapon status on the HUD when not in power armor. So I cannot see my hit points, my radiation level, my weapon ammo stats, etc. Pretty significant issue but does not make it unplayable. I am thinking this may be an actual patch problem because FWS fixed all the other stuff for me.

So now after the 1.3 Patch, I cannot see the following:

• "Tip Text" during game load where it tells you about the picture that is being displayed
• Weapon Status bar that shows ammo, etc.
• Character status bar that shows hit points, radiation level, etc.
• New Quest Text
• Exhaustion/AP progress bar (shown when running, when in combat, etc.)
• Quicksave notification ("Quicksaving...")

The collection of these has now made the game basically unplayable. Does anyone else have the same problem or know of any way to re-enable these features? I have only a couple of mods (timetravel, Darker Nights, and True Storms) but I have the same issue when running vanilla FO4 as well.

Edit to add: I disabled my Eyefinity group and ran in a 1440 borderless windowed instance and still have this issue. So it looks like it may be specific to the patch itself and not related to Widescreen. But is anyone else seeing this problem?

So what I have figured out after trying many things is that the items I listed above will not be shown when running Windowed Mode. But if I turn Windowed Mode off, I cannot run at my resolution (5520 x 1010) and it only runs on a single monitor. Any ideas on a fix are welcome.

Everything works fine for me in nvidia surround with the Flawless Widescreen fix +some ini edit to make the workshop icons larger.
Cant see any difference since the new patch at all. Only have a nude mod.. works like a charm.

Just in case this avoids headaches, I put together a package and instructions that worked for me on my setup thanks to the hard work put in this thread.

My specs that matter are the following:

i7 3770k @ 4.5Ghz
32Gb DDR3 @ 1866Mhz
Asus Strix R9 390x @ stock factory OC
Eyefinity @ 6048 x 1200

Pack info and instructions:

Fallout 4 @ 6048 x 1200 at Ultra Settings FXAA.
If you want it at 1080, you'll need to modify the Fallout4Prefs.ini file by changing 1200 to 1080.

Always backup original files before proceeding.

Go to:
Documents\my games\Fallout4

Replace both .ini files with the ones in this pack

Go to:
Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4

Drag Interface Folder and accept replace prompts

Go to:
Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data

Rename Fallout4 - Interface.ba2 to Fallout4 - Interface.ba2.old
Copy Fallout4 - Interface.ba2 from package to
Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Data

Start Fallout 4

If anything doesn't work, you can delete both .ini files
and the Fallout 4 folder here: AppData\Local
and delete the new Fallout4 - Interface.ba2 and rename
Fallout4 - Interface.ba2.old to Fallout4 - Interface.ba2

Start Fallout 4 and everything will be set to default

Hope this helps!!
