Anyone using the pipboy app as they play it's quite useful.


I have it on my tablet proper up by the screen.

Can use it as a mini map or say keep the status up so you can see eyour health an armour condition in real time or stick it on the inventory page and use it to even change weapons

Can you still use the in game pipboy as well? I kinda rely on it pausing the game so I can peruse my enormous list of weapons mid fight.

When you load up the game it seems to randomise a lot of ground clutter. Lots of comparison pics say on Nvidia's detail level comparison all shows differences from one picture to the next. That has nothing to do with detail. Seriously follow the steps, load up the sharpen effect and in game without any of those changes you can use scroll lock to flick between TAA +/- sharpening. The difference is completely night and day. I think you have to enable TAA outside of the game so you can't load up and compare directly without it. But seriously, when I did it and hit scroll lock it almost blows your mind how badly it was blurred.

Oh yeah I'm not doubting you about the sharpness at all, it just confused me that some of the detail in the screenies was changing when AA was upped, however you've explained that with the randomisation thingy.
 
Finally got the terminal bug issue sorted :) Many thanks to all those in the thread who helped, it's caused me to learn two (probably should have been obvious) things:

1. Rivatuner is part of Afterburner (or bundled with it?) - all this time I assumed they were unrelated but I had it all along - doh!

2. Whatever method RTSS uses to limit the framerate works better than whatever Nvidia Inspector is doing... no idea why but I tried locking the framerate to 100fps and to 75fps using Inspector and both times still got the bug frequently... with Rivatuner set to 100fps it's been (touch wood) fine so far

The game feels so much smoother, can finally get on and enjoy it now

Just like to point out even limiting to 100fps i still was getting stuck in random terminals, dropped down to 80 now which is not ideal but i haven't encountered the bug again after rigorous terminal testing.

Thanks for the tip - I'll get into the habit of hitting quick-save just before I access terminals in case the bug surfaces... I was getting it very consistently still when I'd locked the framerate with Nvidia inspector (not every time mind), but this morning I think I repeatedly tried each of the first 3 terminals in the game maybe 5 - 10 times each and encountered no problems at all, so fingers crossed!
 
restarted last night put the difficulty up to survival went left out of the vault found a trader

went for 6 4 3 3 4 3 5

I haven't had the terminal bug since I set my desktop refresh rate to 100Hz @ 1440p, but it would occur at 1080p @100Hz.
 
I upped the difficulty to hard from normal, game is a lot more enjoyable now. Actually having to manage my ammo and health items a little more.

Legendary items are right frustrating too, getting so many useless items. I even found a bloody flamer that does frost damage.

ha i kept finding right arm guards
 
Even with the dialogue mod I guess it doesn't fix the awful aiming/moving NPC annoying ****. Why they couldn't just lock dialogue in so you AND the NPC couldn't move. Mid conversation a NPC deciding to go back to bed or sit down or something is frustrating as hell.

So many really weird choices that are significant regressions from previous games. Every damn IP seems to be about dumbing down everything a little when games should really be getting deeper and more complex we end up with worse dialogue, more daft little ways of doing things and seemingly worse companions.
 
Can anyone who has dipped into the modding tell me - does Mod Organiser work for Fallout 4? I never got around to trying it over NMM for Skyrim or FO:NV but really liked the sound of it and thought I'd give it a go this time...

Assuming it does work for Fallout 4 - I think I remember people saying it used sort of like "profiles" so does that mean if I wanted to have one "Vanilla" (unmodded) profile and one "Testing" (modded) profile I can easily switch between them before launching the game etc?

I'd like to finish off my existing playthrough without mods but also can't resist checking some of the mods out as they develop (and I want to do it without mucking up my save)

Nope, it is not working yet. Mod Organizer is a 32bit program and Fallout 4 is a 64bit game. The creator of Mod organizer is in the process of rewriting it all though but it's going to take him some time.
https://github.com/TanninOne/modorganizer/issues/352#issuecomment-155835275

I am in the same seat as you, using Mod organizer for Skyrim, Fallout 3 and NV, not bought Fallout 4 yet though, but I downloaded the new Nexus Mod Manager and installed it, since not using it for any games was simple to update it to the latest NMM, incase I buy Fallout 4 before MO has been upgraded.

NMM has been udated from what I read and you can now use profiles in NMM as well, similar as to MO. Don't qoute me on it though since I not used NMM myself, only from what little I read here and there.
 
Only put a few hours since release but with being busy and not being able to get into the game with some minor bugs and just not holding my interest. I think ill step back and play my other huge range of good games and come back when its had a bit of TLC.
