jamm501 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Hi. im having an issue with the detail of the game since i've installed it, it happens also with skyrim but not with fallout 4. It looks like the game has no detail and the antialiasing cant be changed from the launcher, even tho i try to change everything to not be read-only it automatically gets back to read-only. :confused: Here's 2 pics of it. Thanks in advance! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Everything reverting to "Read Only" tells me you have the game installed to the default "C:\Program Files" folder tree. That is one of the reasons we recommend moving it out of there. See the wiki article "Installing Games on Windows Vista+" in my signature. It includes other reasons why that is a bad location and a link to the official Steam procedure for moving their games. DO NOT ATTEMPT to do so manually or you will mess up your registry. Your "save games" are stored in your "C:\Users\<YourAccountName>\Documents\My Games" folder and will be safe during the move, and will work fine after. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamm501 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'm going crazy, I actually have the game installed on the e drive and all the documents folder (where the saves and the ini's are) in the p drive, and still it automatically changes to read-only and the the changes i do make no impact on the game... I'm running win 10 if that matters.. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Okay, that is weird. Ideally you would have set the permissions on the root of the "E:" drive or the "Games" folder (or whatever you called it) to give everyone "full control" so it would automatically propagate those permissions down to the new folders via "inheritance" when you installed a game there. Sounds like that didn't happen, so now you need to set those top level permissions and then have all the sub-folders "inherit" permissions from their parent folder. You first need to logon as an "administrator", take ownership of the drive or "Games" folder (see this article), and then add the local computer "Everyone" account if it isn't there. Then you can change the permissions granted to "Everyone" following this article. But you will have to check that the inheritance is working for all of the existing sub-folders, manually. The "P:" drive is another matter. The "Users" folder tree is supposed to limit access to only each particular account name by default. But it should not be resetting permissions back to "read only". How did you redirect Windows to use the "P:" drive for your "Users" folder? (I am assuming these are actually partitions and not "shadow drives" or some other form of alias drive letters for folders under the C: drive partition.) -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatterian Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 The default launcher automatically changes Fallout.ini to read only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Roy is correct to remind me of that, The Fallout.ini file in the "Users" folder does get automatically set to RO, but if you remove that setting and make changes, they should take effect before the launcher resets the flag. OTOH, you shouldn't need to be making those changes that often. And other files in that tree should not get flagged back to RO once you remove that flag, unless the folder permissions enforce it (i.e. inheritance). Why do you think your changes to the Fallout.ini file are not taking effect? Originally you mentioned "anti-aliasing". This can be applied in several places other than the game settings. Your video card has such a setting, and any "post-processing" shaders like ENB or SweetFX as well. You will want only one of them enabled (in the post-processor) if at all. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatterian Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 To me it looks like trying to run the game on an intel gfx chipset which the drivers are notoriously bad at running directx 8 or 9 games. If you have an amd or nvidia card then try to find the best driver for your series/model of card (newer is not always better). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamm501 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 I set the permissions to all the folders and subfolders and still there's no way i can change the anti-aliasing option in the launcher, and the textures look horrendous still, i don't get whats the problem and why its only affecting bethesda games... i don't get what the problem is. I got a r9 380x i tweaked the skyrim and new vegas preset, even delete them and nothing changes, is there any other program to force tweaks on games graphics? in amd settings there's not much options. I'm running the lastest drivers. Maybe i should unninstall all drivers and reinstall latest ones again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyBatterian Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Are you using FNV4GB or an ENB or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubiousintent Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Just to be clear: are you trying to set the anti-aliasing option in the vanilla launcher initial menu "Options" settings? Are you then continuing to the Main Menu (the one with the "Save Game" option that appears after the loading screens) before exiting (even if you don't save a game)? The second step is necessary to ensure the changed "Options" get saved. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
