I can get the game to run in 6048x1080 (bezel adjusted) rez and it is quite playable, the game recognizes the resolution even though there is no option for that high a rez in the options. But I see that they didn't bother to fix any of the issues from Fallout 3 that multiple monitor users have like the computer terminals, lockpicking and the onscreen interface and of course the horizontal mouse overscrolling. I was happy when the game started up and played on the triple screen, but once I started encountering the same old issues from the previous game my positive outlook changed real quick. This game can be seen as a really big mod of the first game, so it is pretty pathetic they could fix things from one game to the next. I would be playing it right now if it wasn't for the issues. The .ini fixes that worked in Fallout 3 do not seem to work at all in Fallout: New Vegas, indeed I can't get any .ini changes to actually work.

I was looking forward to Fallout: New Vegas for awhile, now I really disappointed with Obsidian and Bethesda for slacking...I won't be bothering with any of the DLC, if they ever fix this stuff I will just play the game through and be done with it but for now it is going in the drawer till later...maybe.

Guys,

New here. I just got the game and was P!SSED it didnt work with eyefinity.

I did some messing around and so far, I got the computer console to work.

I just hacked around with my INI files and am not sure what part ofthe edit I did to get it working.


First, I disabled the read only on the Fallout.ini.

I changed the fdefaultFOV=75.00 to fdefaultFOV=180.00

I then saved and changed it back to read only.


Then, I ran the game with the INI open. The computer console in game still was too large BUT....the 180.00 value DIDN'T change back to 75.00 like it did previously.


Next, I opened the FalloutPrefs.ini and made the same change to the fdefaultFOV=75.00 to 180.00

Saved, then ran the game and it worked.


Of note:

I don't know if it was me leaving the INI file open and running the game OR if I just had to make that same change for both INI files.



WOOT!

Did that fix the FOV issues with the computer terminals and the lockpicking? I don't have any issues with the overall FOV of the game but the computer terminals and the lockpicking FOV's are super zoomed in. Also the face elements like the health, and compass are centered over the bezeled areas so I can only see half of them, same with the opening game menus. These are all issues that were WELL KNOWN from Fallout 3 and yet they still couldn't bother to fix them...FAIL!

It did! I can see the whole computer screen and frame.

I havent tried lock picking yet but I think it should work. Not sure how the scope issue will work as I am not far into the game and havent aquired one



EDIT: The Lockpicking worked. Just tried it.

Not having any issues with the health and compass. Even before I did the changes

Where able to manually enter the res in the FalloutPrefs.ini?
It should work.

What resolution are you running the game in?

5760x1200


The compass and health bar are on the left screen but they are not blocked by the bevels. I am goingto try moving them to the center screen.

Sorry that question was meant for colthorn.

I have tried various values for the settings 'iSafeZoneXWide' and 'iSafeZoneX' and it doesn't affect the interface at all. These are the settings that one changed in FO3 to alter the ingame interface and it worked in FO3. I still get unreadable text on the computer terminals as well, so now I have to hope for a font fix as well.

Yes, it works, binocs and hacking works fine since aspect ratio is unchanged

Try changing the settings in both INI files. Mine are working. Lockpicking, computer terminal are fine. Compass/health meter, AP and Ammo are in the middle.

My settings were actually stuck until I set bEnableEyefinity to 0, now the iSafe values have a definite effect, although it seems my resolution took a hit as the aspect ratios look a bit messed up now

* attempting to run the game at 5300x1050

I have tried both the following, which have been shown to work with fallout 3:

Changed these values in the "/user/documents/my games/FalloutNV/FalloutPrefs.ini" file

iSafeZoneXWide=15
iSafeZoneYWide=15
iSafeZoneX=15
iSafeZoneY=15
.
.
.
fDefaultFOV=75.0000

To this:
iSafeZoneXWide=770
iSafeZoneYWide=15
iSafeZoneX=770
iSafeZoneY=15
.
.
.
fDefaultFOV=150.0000


This did not do anything from what I can see. I have noticed that they do get overwritten when I launch the game. Also, there is a file in the same directory named "fallout.ini" that contails the same fields. I have tried changing these also like others have said. None of this seems to work.

I know that a technology like Eyefinity, along with the nVidia version, is for a reasonably small subset of gamers, but these "enthusiasts" are the same guys who buy all the latest games. Throwing them a quick patch or a bugfix here or there would do more good than "adding horse armor". Hope the fine people behind this great series will do whats best for the community.

*also why can I not open the console in-game. I tried "~" and made sure bAllowConsole=1. help us help ourselves.

Had the same problem myself all night, the solutions are peppered across a few threads so hoping we can centralize some here. They way I was about to change the settings and get it to stick was to do the following:

1) Go to Documents>My Games>FalloutNV>Fallout.ini , turn off Read Only, make your wanted changes
2) In the same folder, find FalloutPrefs.ini, copy the contents of Fallout.ini into this, saves the time of changing each individual value
3) Browse to Program Files > Steam > userdata > [whatever your UID is] > 22380 (this seems to be the ID assigned by Steam to NV) > remote > falloutprefs.ini, and copy the contents of Fallout.ini into this as well
4) Go back to the original Fallout.ini file, and set it back to Read Only

Start it up, hopefully some UI elements have shifted a bit.

Everytime you start up NV after going through this process it autodetects your optimum video settings, which I think is what is overwriting the FalloutPrefs.ini files, so I'm thinking you could probably just delete the contents of the files each time to save a small amount of time. As well, if this doesn't seem to change anything find the "bEnableEyefinity" variable and set it to 0. Worked for me but it seems doing that removes some optimal settings and the resolution gets all screwed. I'm still looking for antialiasing and raw resolution options hiding in here, Fallout 3 was pretty easy to tweak so its pretty dissapointing that it is somehow more difficult now.

And I thought getting the Stalker UI to do what I want was a headache, if anyone has better solutions please chime in, grasping at straws here!

Evefinity vs Nvidia Surround.

So far the only ones who I've seen that say it works multi-monitor have been ATI card users with eyefinity. Has anyone with an nvidia surround setup got theirs working?

I don't even see a resolution section in the ini files. Where are people adding 5760X1200?

Oh and someone please patch this, most all games these days support Eyefinity, Nvidia Surround, so why are you devs so lazy?

With bEnableEyefinity the native resolution seems to function out of the box, without it though everything is stretched and fuzzy, so I'd like to know the same thing. Posting between here and WSGF to hopefully dig up an answer.

The lines for setting the resolution do not seem to show up in the Fallout.ini file in My Documents, rather the lines appear in the FalloutPrefs.ini. In the [Display] section look for the lines that read 'isize W=' and isize H='.

I still need fixes for the fonts on the Pipboy and the especially the computer terminals, which might never happen. Pipboy is mostly legible so not such an issue, but the computer terminal fonts are messed up.

It is incredibly stupid and lazy of these devs to not have polished this game more, being the glorified mod that it is. I won't be bothering with anything made by Obsidian anytime soon. They droppd the ball with Alpha Protocol and now they released a fairly unpolished and buggy mod of another game, pathetic.

Not me. None at WSGF seem to have either.
What is the cheat code to unlock computers? :angry:

I really would like to keep this page bumped to the top!

We need some type of feedback, c'mon!

Still nothing come on can we get some kind of response to this, it is 2010 get with it... I don't know of any other developer that has this issue...

Everybody this game works realy nice on eyefinity. (I have a screenshot but don't know how to include this here...)
Leave everything in the .ini files the way it is (so bEnableEyefinity=1) except for:
resolution:
iSize W=5760
iSize H=1200
FOV:
fDefaultFOV=180.0000
HUD:
iSafeZoneXWide=770
iSafeZoneX=770

And make very shure that the .ini files are READ ONLY when you start the game.

Does your UI appear correctly within the center screen in it's entirety? And are the hacking screens and character creation screens legible? I'm wondering if the default settings are better suited for 5760x1200 than 5760x1080, as the default setup looked good save the UI problems.

So I take it your changes stick with bEnableEyefinity on? Mine certainly didn't, and I find it highly troubling that the games configuration files function drastically different between machines.

In the end though I did get mine working (save some blurry fonts), results at http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=20661&start=15

Two patches later, and I still cant see terminals. Please change the field of view for multiple monitors, please!

I should mention I am running eyefinity, too bad for the people who are using nvidia cards. Game runs smooth at 5790x1080 ultra-high with no AA and only 4 AF. Everything else works really well for me: Lockpicking is fine, dialogue looks ok., crafting and bartering menus work perfect, the pipboy being blurry isnt a very big issue but not being able to power off a terminal is.

Please change the field of view on terminals.

Chiming in to say that eyefinity is not working, at all, for me. Nested menu's aren't even on screen with a default install, without modifying any ini's. If I take the time to modify the ini's, I still can't get nested menu's to show, which means I can't even start the game without using the keyboard (and hoping I select the right thing).

Running 3 x 1080x1920 (in portait mode obviously, so total of 3240 x 1920), and nothing works. Wish to buy games that actually work. Atleast Fallout 3 was managable. Fallout New Vegas isn't.
