Maybe uninstall the pad drivers? That way it won't get "confused"? Crazy obvious bug for them to miss.

Christ, the game is fluctuates FPS far too much in Lexington and the surrounding areas.
Sucks the joy right out of the game.

That's another incredibly odd decision. Most games make you wait through unskippable videos. Bethesda put a video before the main menu that's permanently skippable if you touch any button?
I even tried deleting Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini...still goes straight to the 3D menu after the static.
Bethesda reads your soul. No more video for you!

Forcing SLI to alternate frame rendering 2 mode in nVidia Control Panel works great for me. Crummy scaling though. My FPS goes from ~35 to ~65 overlooking the town as you come out of the vault. ~45 to ~110 looking the opposite direction. 3 GTX680s. 1600p, all settings ultra except for godrays at low. 90 FoV. No frame pacing issues.
This game is in pretty dire need of A) performance patches, B) driver updates and an official SLI profile, and C) a high resolution texture patch.

Where did you find it on YouTube? I'm searching and finding nothing.

I verified my game cache and tried again, same thing. Could it be that I am using a PS3 controller and not a 360 one?
Actually, you could probably just change it in the .ini.
Go into Fallout4prefs.ini and you should see a setting called "bGamepadEnable." If you change that to 0 it should disable gamepad support. You may need to do it both in your My Games and Steam dirs.
That's if you're comfortable with m/kb over gamepad, of course.
(and my gamepad was a 360 emulated one, so maybe PS ones aren't working atm)
That's not it. It was some sort of animated old-timey video with a nuclear bomb destroying a town, and I think an old-timey announcer? It played before I ever got to the main menu.
Maybe I was in some sort of alternate universe when I launched the game the first time.
Gotta disable it from one of the .inis in documents/My games/Fallout 4 folder
Can't remember which one and what the setting was called lol, but I'm sure you can find the answers to those by doing a quick search through this thread
I finally found it by downloading the Bink video player and going through the videos folder manually, lol. It was the CHARISMA video. I have no clue why it started playing when I launched the game once. Maybe it's random?Hmmm sorry. Maybe I missed it too then
Other post(s) say that it makes lockpicking impossible and can make you run at twice the speed etc., so it sounds gamebreaking at the moment. Presumably mechanics are tied to the framerate?

Changing that in both of them worked, thanks! Now if only I didn't have early classes tomorrow.
I'm running at a solid 60FPS, with FOV set to 100, and I even added the SweetFX mod to make things a bit less washed out looking. Everything but God Rays are on Ultra, at 1080p.
My rig:
i5-3570k OC'd to 4.2
GTX 970 FTW
16GB RAM
Haven't noticed any issues yet, and I am about 5 hours in so far.
BTW I think the game looks surprisingly good. After finally building a PC that can run games at 60FPS, though, I don't think I can ever go back to 30 or even sub 30. It just doesn't feel right anymore.
My friend is getting this for PS4 tomorrow so I am going to see what it feels like compared to PC.

Wow, fucking awesome. Keyboard inputs have like a half second lag, mouse inputs have zero lag. Terminals 100% glitch on me, meaning the game is broken. This is fucking bullshit.
i7 2600k, 8GB RAM, 4GB GTX980, ROG PG278Q
Shit is broke and none of the fixes people suggest work.

Seriously? I have that card and was planning on picking it up tomorrow...

Word of advice, don't interact with the scene at the center of Diamond City, you'll crash at the end of the cutscene if you try to talk to anyone there during it.
Locked to 72 on my end. Hearing reports the game breaks above that. And I mean BREAKS, not just physics earthquakes.

290X is a slightly slower card. But the difference is marginal.
Can't launch in anything but borderless window mode, can't set the resolution in windowed mode to my default resolution, even changing the ini didn't work. When I try to fullscreen it, my screen keeps flashing as the game tries to load.
What the hell is going on and how do I fix it?

Is it marked as disabled in the pre-boot menu?
Running I see it at about 2.5GB. So if you have 3GB non active you should be OK. Of course I'm early in the game so YMMV.

It's not actually a 3D menu, it's a looped Bink file BTW.
Morrowind ran like ass on everything that was available at the time of its release.
Ahhh. Yeah that's some BS.
Bethesda ought to be the name of the next insect discovered in the Amazon.

I wish I could play this on pc, unfortunately my radeon 6970 doesnt even meet the minimum requirements....
Thank you! Should run pretty well then.
Yeah, that's what I meant with the hilarious problems I mentioned earlier. Lockpicking isn't impossible per se, for example, the animations are just playing so fast that if the picks close to breaking you probably won't realize fast enough and the pick breaks.
Geez, really gotta find a way to lock the framerate to 60
Not that I take responsibility but I'd say you should be fine for above console specs with that card. Remember Steam offers refunds...

You can easily play above console settings at 30fps capped or higher uncapped with that card.

I'm having similar issues and the fixes did not work for me either. Will try lowering the refresh rate tomorrow but the game being flat out broken instead of glitchy (can't progress at all) kills a lot of enthusiasm I had.

I'm sorta confused why my game is locked to 48 fps. I just set my display to 120hz and it locked to 40. Do I accidentally have some sort of global vsync enabled? The game feels really unresponsive locked as it is.
