invisible lock fix for 1280*1024 resolution

[IvanXUA]

Seems to be that fallout 4 has no 4:3 screen support.
Changing resolution through fallout4prefs.ini to 1280*1024 causes disappear of lock while lockpicking

thanks for helping me figure out what the issue is, I've been trying to find lockpick workarounds for a few hours now with no avail. I guess I'll be playing in non-native resolutions.

for that, go into your .ini folder which can be found in

 

C:/Users/your profile/Documents/My Games/Fallout 4/Fallout4Pref.ini and in..

your steam apps folder. Drive letter can be different depending on where you installed Steam.

C:/Program Files (X86)/Steam/Steamapps/Common/Fallout4/Fallout4.Fallout4Prefs.ini

 

Once there in both places, open the Fallout4Prefs.ini and find these settings...

iSize H=

iSize W=

There will be numbers there so just change them to your settings. However, your 1280x1024 will not work for whatever reason so input it like this. Change these stats yourself or copy and paste over the old in your Fallout4Prefs.ini.. This config I am posting is for your monitors. Make sure to make the files "Read Only" in their properties.

iPresentInterval=1

bTopMostWindow=0

bMaximizeWindow=1

bBorderless=1

bFull Screen=0

iSize H=1023

iSize W=1279

If this config does not work for you, try switching the two sizes. (don't believe you will but you can try that) After that if it does not work still, then remove the "1" from Ipresentinterval=1 and change it a "0" to look like this iPresentInterval=0.

This worked for me when I had monitor like yours. I had a 20in Dell Monitor which was 6yrs old and 4:3 with 1600x1200 max but played with 1280x1024.

Hope this helps you.
