Fallout 4 – Texture Optimization Project
By default in fallout 4 a LOT of textures come in huge resolutions with horrid compression methods – for example 2048×2048 ground textures that take up 5.4mbs for 1 texture – which i turn into a 1024×1024 identical texture with better compression only taking up 650kbs (THAT LOOK ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME while not staring directly at them while standing still (like some sort of critiquing person you!) – which you shouldn’t be anyways…you should be looking at explosions! But since there isn’t a working method for automatically resizing and re-compressing and adding mipmaps to the base game textures ill be doing it manually which will take quite some time.
HOWEVER!
My mod is usable in all releases and every release will be BETTER FOR YOU than not having it at all! (performance wise) so there is absolutely no reason not to download &install it!
GOALS FOR THE MOD
1. Improve framerate “massively” by reducing the load on the GPU and CPU for the purpose of reducing microstutter – mainly for making 60fps REALLY 60fps because 60fps with microstutter is worse than 30fps but 60fps without microstutter looks like glass!
2. Get lots of up-votes then get dunked by some teckie with his wizard-optimizer.
3. Actually continue finding the performance increasing textures that mean anything and then converting them because i’m lazy as heck.
4. ????
5. Profit off the kudos and retire to jamaica WITH RAGING E-FAME.
6. Remember to double space.
READ THIS IF THE README FILE ISN’T WORKING!
“\SteamApps\common\Fallout4\Data\textures” is the file structure you need. you must put the textures folder INSIDE the data folder.
ALSO AS OF 11/16/2015 or EARLIER you MUST edit your Fallout4.ini and Fallout4Prefs.ini
1. Go to your user documents C:\Users\MyNameHere\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4.ini and replace the following line,
sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\ with sResourceDataDirsFinal=STRINGS\, TEXTURES\, MUSIC\, SOUND\, INTERFACE\, MESHES\, PROGRAMS\, MATERIALS\, LODSETTINGS\, VIS\, MISC\, SCRIPTS\, SHADERSFX\
2. in the Fallout4prefs.ini in your user documents folder C:\Users\MyNameHere\Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Fallout4prefs.ini UNDER the catagory named “[Launcher]” INSIDE THE .INI you MUST ADD the line “bEnableFileSelection=1” WITHOUT THE QUOTATIONS!
If you followed these instructions and the mod did not work then somewhere along the line something didnt happen.
if this is the case, check that you saved the ini or if you closed it without saving, then your problems should be fixed.
if this did not work then is on you to figure out your own problems.
