mailedd Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi people, I had loads of issues with the fov in fallout 4 and went a looking for solutions all over the net. The issue of having a field of view that looks good in game but then the pipboy being too small to use. I found a solution as the tweeker mod didnt do it for me correctly. I am writing it here coz I am trying to help all the people who are having difficulty and maybe arnt as able as others when it comes to ini editing. Hopefully when they are googling for a fix they will end up here. People were suggesting the console fov 100 100 line, and thats great for normal gaming but the pipboy is still small. I found that after tweeking away with the tweek mod and then loading up the game, I can now get a fov of 100 in 1st and 3rd person AND a large pipboy. But I needed to do this first. Open consoleFOV 80 100 (enter)refreshini (enter)close consolesave game. Yes i know its not news, but many people dont know that the first number (80) in the FOV line is for the default FOV. The second number (100) is for the 1st person FOV. Most comments say 'do FOV 100 100 or it wont save the change', they say that because when you do FOV 100 only it looks like its changed, but after you close console it reverts. Actually it is still changed but only in default FOV which is the pipboy screen. And that gets overridden with the 1st person FOV after you close the console. Doing FOV 80 100, sets the FOV for pipboy at 80 so that the pipboy fills the whole screen. And it sets the 1st person FOV to 100 so you get more in scene on oyur screen. After your happy with your FOV settings and other tweeks, remember to refreshini in console, save in game, go to 'documents/my games' and set 'read only' for all three ini files so that your settings dont get overridden. I've read soo many comments about bad pipboy screen size and I struggled with it too before I worked this out. Hope it help others. darktACTics.

Dragpz Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Thank you for posting this. Solved my issues, at least until someone makes a mod to completely revert this stupid pipboy garbage and go back to the old menu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mailedd Posted November 27, 2015 Author Share Posted November 27, 2015 No problem. I read soo many posts around the net from people having issues with the FOV, I decided to post the solution. Im going to add my AHK script for moving with the arrow keys also. It has key bindings for all the buttons including the hardcoded ones. Seems like this game was geared up for concoles and controllers. Idiot developers forgot us PC players. DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AishaLove Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Thank you so much!! I actually got mine to stay stuck tiny even after resetting my FOV through the configuration tool. Now I can read my pip boy and I even made it bigger by setting the pipboy fov to 75 Hi people, I had loads of issues with the fov in fallout 4 and went a looking for solutions all over the net.

Scrambling around trying to fix it. Great reminder especially if you use the smartphone App (for me i know). I like the concept, but I found myself constant hitting the tab key, which seemed quicker form AID and WEAP. Although the MAP seemed to me the most useful feature. Good on you! gamer1367o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
