Fallout: New Vegas
A fantastic game set in a post-apocalyptic Nevada Desert.
Configuration
Widescreen
WARNING:
The following ini tweaks work alright, but the flawless widescreen mod for the game runs absolutely perfectly. It is by far the best solution.
#### "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Fallout_default.ini" #### "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Fallout.ini" [Display] fDefaultFOV=180.000 ## makes pipboy/computer terminals usable iSize W=5760 ## widescreen resolution iSize H=1080This file gets routinely rewritten, you can also change the FOV in-game using the command fov.

There is a serious lack of variation in lightweight armours. This will hopefully alleviate some of the pain of using medium/heavy armour.

Bugs/Workarounds
INI file being rewritten
There are 2x points where the fallout ini file is rewritten (that I have discovered):
- when the fallout newvegas launcher opens
- when a new game is created
If you are having an issue with an INI file being replaced constantly, instead of using your local copy of the gameprefs, modify the ini file installed with the game, and set it to readonly.
You can check on a value in the console (to see if it worked) with the help command
help fDefaultFOV
Loading Issues
I fairly regularly encounter loading issues in fallout new vegas. These can be sidestepped by creating a new game, then loading your savegame from the esc menu.
Mods
C:/Program Files (x86)/GeMMexecutable C:/Games/FalloutNVMod Storage C:/Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Fallout New VegasGame Install The defacto way of installing mods in Fallout NewVegas is to use FOMM (fallout mod manager.
If you want to create separate profiles of mods you will need to keep a copy of both the Mod Storage dir, and the Game Install dir. Restore the originals of both and you should be in good shape (untested).
