HeyYou Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Well, got my new monitor, got it set up, and things are cool. (MSI 34" 4K monitor.) Tweaked some settings in my Fallout 4 inis, so I can take advantage of all of that screen real estate, and I love it. Problem I am having is, when the 'sun' moves, the shadows do really odd and strange things, kinda disconcerting. I don't *think* it was doing that previously, (1080P samsung monitor) but, there is a LOT more screen to see, so, maybe I just didn't notice it previously? Anyone know of a 'fix' for that? Or, at least, a way to reduce the effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowFox35 Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Could you attach a screenshot of the shadow issue? Like you said, it could just be a normal part of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted December 30, 2021 Author Share Posted December 30, 2021 Static shot won't show what it's doing, its only when you are moving, turning your head, or, the sun is changing position. Shadows don't translate well. :D They kinda flicker in/out every few seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monesq Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 Sounds Bethesda-ey to me. Shadows seem to be problematic unless you set them to Ultra and then your FPS tanks. Can't win. Can't imagine playing this game on a 34" monitor as I play on a 15" laptop. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 Sounds Bethesda-ey to me. Shadows seem to be problematic unless you set them to Ultra and then your FPS tanks. Can't win. Can't imagine playing this game on a 34" monitor as I play on a 15" laptop. Congrats!Yeah, it's a whole new experience in widescreen. Yep, I do believe it is definitely a beth shadow issue, as at night, the game looks amazing. (and watching movies that are native 21:9 aspect ratio on the new monitor is also a whole new experience. :D That one REALLY surprised me.) I want to install TruX9 mod, and some of it's patches as well, just to see if that improves things, but, my NAS seems to have decided it doesn't want to work properly, and that Offends NMM. It can't find the downloads folder, so it wants to uninstall all my mods. (the mod staging folder/storage for archives is on the NAS, which I can't get to at the moment.) Still waiting to hear back from Buffalo support, but, it has been two days...... granted, it IS the holiday season..... I think I am going to have to come up with a different solution there, the drives in it are raid 0, (striped) so likely the data there is just gone. I have an older backup around here somewhere, but, it's on another HDD, and I have quite a few to dig thru. :D Might be a good opportunity to reinstall a couple games, and rebuild my load lists from my download history. Ah well. Life goes on. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moksha8088 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Wonder if you set it to 1440 resolution if that would fix things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted January 3, 2022 Author Share Posted January 3, 2022 I'm running at 3440X1440. Aside from the shadows, the perspective is a little odd too. Running my 1st Person FOV at 95, and things at the periphery of the screen stretch out, and appear much closer than they actually are. Kinda disconcerting. Had it 110 originally, and have been reducing it slowly to see if I can fix it.... So far, the answer is "no". :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
