erniepie Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Trying a fresh reinstall. Pre-installed and the game launches, video settings are detected to ultra, then play and the screen is only partially filled (1080p) 90 minutes play time so far but stopped because nothing is saving and its not full screen. Auto save takes effect but their in no ini file or save file in users/docs/games.... tried twice to copy/ paste/ verify catch in Steam with no luck, same thing over and over. Saved the Data folder only and deleted local content and now waiting for 7hr download. Anyone else have this issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronam Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 in your users\username\documents\my games\fallout 4\saves is where the savegames should go. If they vanished, google Virtual Store Location to figure out where they potentially went. You can use the console command 'forcesave' (without quotes) and see if that ends up doing anything. It sounds like a permissions issue. if it's lreated to that a good hint/habit with games is to make sure it's placed in a custom folder. for example, instead of C:/program files (86)/etc make a new steam save location like C:\games. When you start the game installation in steam, at Choose Location, use the dropdown to create a new location. (it will probably say another drive but you can change that afterwards), Create a new folder as high/root as possible (like C:\Games) so you can forever rule out any permission problems with games. Whenever you post something like this, be sure to supply your operating system and any other important details like if you experienced similar things before, etc :).

erniepie Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Thanks for the reply. Windows 10 64amd 8350 at stock 4.0270x GPU, latest driver- no overclockGame is Installed on separate drive with other Steam gamesvirtual store I did not find any files that had been created today, just an old minecraft file. Nothing related. Possible a background program could be causing the issue but i'll have to wait to test once downloading is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erniepie Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Ok- reinstall not needed! Windows 10..... Go too the fallout 4 folder and click over to the applications tab on the top. highlight it and click on the "run as administrator". Now right click (now available) run as administrator on the launcher (Fallout4Launcher). Bam! your INI folder has just been created and saved. Small screen before because it was not saved/ created. Kind of tired now so if more help is needed I'll check back here later- Time to wander the waist-land! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
