I think I used clothes in a mod in fallout 4, and didn't realize that the back of my charters neck is invisible for 10 hours of game play. I have tried figuring it out, but the only thing that works for me is going to a previous save file. I don't get what the problem is. Any way I can add a string or something in my ini? Tomorrow I'll try full re installing the mod commonwealth haircut ks... Whatever it is. Doubt it will work.
That's Oblivion's main theme = ) Much of the rest of the video has Skyrim music playing throughout... I would say that if I were streaking naked through the video that may be considered inappropriate... the music?...I'd call that the creator's choice for what he wants to hear in the final product of is labors = ) It's good to finally be done with this video for now = ) -Michael
Litterly the best tutorial i've ever seen, if you hadnt explained it so calmly and used pictures as references i would have surly spend much time to try to understand what BethINI was all about until finally giving in and not use her at all. Big thumbs up!
this was great.easy and it was a show how too. i read a steam post gooze and it was just to much to rap my head around.thanks again.ill check out some others.
Thx for all your tutorial vid's, they have helped me so much, noticed a big difference with bethINI, I was getting random screen freezes and ctd, it seems to have solved it (hope I'm not speaking to soon)
please help. i downloaded put it in the same folder that the launcher is in and set it to run as administrator. when i start bethini it does the choose game which i choose fallout4 then it says that it can not find the launcher and to do it manually with browse. when i pick the launcher it says i dont have permission. please guide me lol im lost and cant figure it out.
this is great but can you help me with the problem I am having. It takes me 10 to 20 seconds for a texture to load and thats if I look at it. If I don't look at it it will take more time to load, my specs GTX970 3GB, 16GB RAM intel core i7.
Thank you Fabio = ) The issue itself I'm not too sure about. I've had issues where LOD files (distant static objects) would overlay on their upclose counterparts. Generally setting the postload time to 2000, (and lowering my DynDOLOD settings in Skyrim, as that is where the originated from) fixed this. Your specs are good. If this doesn't happen in a non modded game but only a modded one than I would say that perhaps the textures are pushing your GPU past it's limits. I would also suggest, on topic or not, to never use 4K textures. Doing so is asking for issues unless they are strictly in door textures (isolated from the large open world which renders much more than interior locations). Not sure that info will help but its the best I got = ) -Michael
Thank you for your reply, I don't know how to explain it but maybe you are right could be the LOD distances, because if I am casually looking around slowly everything renders okay but if I sprint my way through the wasteland...then I get these low resolution textures for a couple of seconds then they load after 10 to 20 seconds. Grass just disappears and so do the buildings. In vanilla game everything loads fine with the mods it does not, I only use textures no lower than 2k from grafix and higher resolution mods. I just uninstalled the game again its very unplayable especially when you don't like bad graphics :D
Those low res versions popping into the regular version sounds like LOD = ) If they "flicker" when you move its definitely LOD (it's z fighting-ish... the LOD and the regular ones are fighting for position). .. take your time and test the mods as you go = ) .. If you get one mod working... then you won't need to uninstall it again = ) ... get 1, test, go to the next. -Michael
GP - I have to say that this instruction set, like just about all of the things you produce, is brilliant and inclusive with great visuals to assist with the explanations. Unfortunately, while there are some good basic guides for SKYRIM SE SKSE64, they tend to lack depth and clarity as well as visual examples. Moreover, BethINI has a more than a few additional setting which are not covered in this video (obviously, because FO4 does not have these settings). In any case, if you have it within you and your time, could you please create a similar video for SSE (and a linke to NexusMod BethINI page would be great too). Thank-you, in advance, for your time and consideration, all the best...
This tool is one of the mods that is recommended in the guide. But surprisingly this guide works for Skyrim even though it is for FO4 which kinda shows your ability to explain things in a concise manner. Great job sir. PS: How to get this to work with MO so I can launch BethINI from MO and not rely on a separate shortcut in my desktop ?
I reinstalled bethini after backing up my game files and basically doing a clean sweep, but now whenever I open it it just goes to the. Choose game, and closes within 2 seconds, and then bethini disappears from the folder
I don't know how, but on my last modding session of Fallout 4, after installing BethINI, I finally achieved 70+ fps at the top of Corvega and other areas where performance is normally shit. Upon making a new save game, my performance in those areas was shit again around the 40s. After two years I was finally able to see the game at a solid 60 in those areas. I'm going to try to replicate it and figure out what I did to get that performance. I was extremely pissed when this glimmer of stability faded after starting a new game. It's my new goal in life to figure out how to get 60+ fps in the shit areas and how to keep it that way. Two freaking years of modding and tweaking and I struck gold just for it to be taken away in a matter of hours. Now I know that it's possible for the game to run great in demanding areas. Seen it with my own two god damn eyes. i7 4790k, GTX 1080, 16GB of RAM. Those are my specs and honestly I shouldn't have to go through this to get that kind of performance. Guess we all have to do Bethesdas job for them. Anyways. Came here to comment because I think by some happy accident BethINI had something to do with this when I was tweaking. Will update if I manage to recreate the miracle.
I heard that the setting is broke. No testing on it on my end by supposedly one or off it still stays ok. I'd check with DoubleYou and mention it to him. -Michael
Hail! I may be a potato, but, as i understand. Mod Organizer 1, doesn't work with Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition. So, we must use Mod Organizer 2. But, with that, i've readed that MO2 have some peculiar installation process to make it work properly. And, i may just be blind, but i haven't found a tutorial, for MO2 installation on the Channel. Is the Tutorial for him, something on the works, it's launched, or it's not gonna be released, as Vortex(?) aproaches even closer to public release? Anyway, i really love your videos! Great work! By the way, I am thinking of attempting to make something similar to your great work, but in PT_BR, because many users from Brazil, can read but aren't good into hearing and understand english, and i would ask if there would be problems if i use your great tutorials as a baseline. Of course, all credits would be pointed here!
when i installed bethini for SSE i got my fps dropped to 12 fps everywhere:/ does anyone know how to fix this? i play with a controller and i cant use it either while bethini is applied
You have mentioned that if modded one should avoid changing the configuration with the game interface and do it changing the ini file. Can you give some advise changing the ini files?
Just subscribed. Man, Great channel. I have always watched Gopher & Xuul and Dirty Weasel. They are all good. Real good. Found you by accident and you are REALLY good at this. They say a true master can explain the complicated in a simple way. You, sir, are a master! Right, then, I have a question for you. At the time of this video, you make it clear that running FO3\FO4\FONV through MO, MO will use the default ini files which would include changes such as 4gb or mouse changes, right? In other words, any changes I made directly to Fallout 3 ini files (using notepad++) will be used by MO. At least when this video was made. So if MO begins to use its "own" ini files, will they be based upon those same modified files in my GOTY folder? Or does MO generate its own from some other database? How will I know which ones it is using without examining ini files individually and comparing them? Can you explain this? Thanks a ton.
Nope. MO will completely ignore the default location (my games directory) ini path. Checkout todays mod organizer video upload, look in the description and jump ahead to the ini file section (its short) It may explain it better. MO's .ini files are stored within mod organizer/profiles and that's the ones that it uses. MO2 for FO4 and SSE is something that I won't touch yet due to all the bugs with 64bit games that the new MO team is working out. I've heard that many are using it but it has too many issue for me to tackle just yet = ) .. .and thank you for yoru comment George = ) -Michael
Yup, playing around with it helped the proverbial lightbulb come on. Not the most intuitive program, but powerful. And sorta fun by itself. Thanks. Any chance on FO3LODGen tutorial? Or FNV
LODGen.. one day = ) ... After I finish remaking my older videos (many of which for the last time) and trying to figure out some more recent mod stuff to create content for I will. I already have the foundation for a FNVLODgen created thanks to someone writing a bunch of notes for me. Just need the time. I will in time. -Michael
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, I'm trying to start a new playthrough and I haven't even got to start yet because I noticed my hair color mods aren't showing in game. I have the beautiful eyes mod and that shows up, even the hair styles show up. Only the hair colors aren't there. I've made all the ini edits, I've tried deleting them and re doing them. I've tried uninstalling fallout 4 and reinstalling it, still no success. Can anyone help me?
Hey GP, been a huge fan since forever ago. I have a question related to the ini files. I have a 75hz monitor and a graphics card that can kick ass. However I have load times of upwards to 30 seconds. How can I lower this? I have read that the game's physics is tied to the FPS but so are the load times. I don't want to screw with the physics but I want to not wait around in loading screens for 35 minutes when I only have half an hour to play. What suggestions do you have?
why can't i delete the ini files? My fallout 4 keeps crashing and it is the only method left that bethesda has given, the rest didn't work. Please tell me what to do
@@gamerpoets but at 1:55 you said don't delete them. It doesn't matter any more though, the problem with my game has been solved. Thankyou for replying though
Do I need to use Mod Organizer or can I still use Nexus Mod Manager? If no, then do I just direct my file path for "Mod Organizer" to NexusModManager.exe? Or do I leave it blank?
OMG IM SO EXCITED!!!! I LITERALLY JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE BETHINI WORK WITH MY MICROSOFT STORE VERSION OF FALLOUT4 GOTY. I SEARCHED FOR DAYS AND THERE WAS NO HELP ANYWHERE. SO PROUD OF MYSELF.
Hello Michael, would you recommend this instead of fallout 4 configuration tool? my priority is to boost performance, remove or lower what i dont really need etc.
Never used that one = ) Any program like this, for me, is a good starting point. If I'm trying to optimize anything I'm getting into the .ini files directly and playing around. But this does give you a decent amount of options and its created by someone I "know" and trust. -Michael
Man fallout 4 runs but it doesnt load the game just the start menu i have 1-3 fps on loading screen and it gets stuck while my start menus has 3 to 16 fps
Make sure things are working before using bethini. Then you can go and try to dial things down. If you use a custom.ini it's going to overwrite what this app does to the default ini files. -Michael
Hello, I would like to start using BethINI but the mod manager that I am using is Vortex. Do I install this mod manually without applying it to Vortex or route it to Vortex like you would with Mod Organizer? Thanks in advance to anyone that can share the answer.
Hey Jack = ) I don't know much about Vortex. Check with DoubleYou on the STEP wiki forums. He's the person who created Bethini. If you will get a correct answer anywhere it will be there. -Michael
Quick problem. Really it's a small thing but since it never happened before I started fiddling with BethINI, I figured I'd bring it up. No idea if BethINI is even the cause, it just started happening after I followed your video. Whenever I start NMM from my E drive (similar to how you present it in the NMM install video) a window pops up saying "You have no Fallout 4 INI file. Please run Fallout 4 to initialize the file before installing any mods or turning on Archive Invalidation." It honestly runs fine after that window. I can even install mods fine (I tried a single cheat console mod to test it on an older save) The thing is I did run FO4 before DL either BETHINI or NMM, so I'm confused as to why this would be happening. In the end it seems just to be a hoop to jump through before getting into NMM proper. Although I am curious as to what I may have done to have this appear. Anyone else come across this? Any help is appreciated.
I don't use NMM much but I've actually been seeing this recently as well. I only use it to test out things on rare occasions for FO4 and Skyrim SE (I get it with both games). I think it could just be something to do with NMM (but that's really just a guess from not using it much). I never had any issues either after ignoring the message and it always returns. In case it is a BethINI related issue (i doubt it, but I can't tell you that for certain) I could check with DoubleYou on the STEP wiki forums (post a new topic if need be). He will give you a direct answer. -Michael
also, i don't get this issue with Mod Organizer on my 32bit games that I've used BethINI on, which is what makes me think that it may just be something new with NMM... but again... -Michael
I think I've used subtle ENB. May even be used in the comparisons other than the shadow ones... can't remember which one I have but sounds familiar. -Michael
GamerPoets It's not as good as fallout new Vegas or 3 but it's ok. I was wondering because my god it doesn't run well in urban areas even on a gtx 1080
Yeah, I noticed the slow downs when I was getting footage... there will be a lot of tweaking to really mod the game and pump up some of the settings. I'll have time one day for it I hope = ) -Michael
Installation, yes. ini files settings will all be different. Will make a vid eventually showing the comparisons. This month is about updating old vids for me. -Michael
GamerPoets awesome can't wait, can't launch skyrim SE. it won't read my video hardware and sets it to low. do you know anything that can help me with that? I tried checking my gtx card but nothing works.. I also use Nexus, just in case that might be a problem.
Haven't really messed around with it much. You can manually change the hardware in the .ini file (i think.... you would in skyrim 32bit). Might want to check the STEP wiki forums. DoubleYou (who created this) is on those forums as well. I'm about to go back to sleep lol = ) -Michael
@@reeceyb505 People with more knowledge than me have warned me against it for fnv in the past... I knew their reasons but have since forgot:) ... I personally dont use much of anything that's automated any more, though I understand the need -Michael
TAA sucks! It really does. This post processing crap isnt anti aliasing, it's just blurring your image so you cant see aliasing anymore. Use DSR (nvidia) or VSR (amd) instead. Both are available in the driver. And I would recommend HBAO over SSAO in every game since the latter just adds shadows to every object, no matter if it makes sense or not. Generally speaking that is, since I dont own FO4. And Michael you really need fo calm down. The amount of information you put in each of these tutorials is just epic. Haven't seen something like this in my many years in youtube.
great to hear. Btw I didnt mean to sound rude. It's just that the devs at Bethesda and modders as well put so much time and effort into making these detailed textured, only to have them ruined by some fake AA.
I get you = ) But if your only choice is FXAA or TAA... using FXAA will leave you with a light show around the edges of objects lol. Its even worse than AA in FO3 (my assumption is because FO3 was more "cartoon like" and FO4's image is more sharp and "realistic" so the contrast between the crawling edges and their objects was lessened.. at least to my eye). I use ENB myself so I always turn it all off = ) -Michael
FO3 had MSAA as an option iirc. And MSAA is proper AA. FO4 uses defered rendering, where MSAA isn´t possible because the lighting information isn´t available at the time the geometry (ie your polygons) are getting rendered. And ENB just uses SMAA, which is a post processing effect as well, but it´s not nearly as bad as TAA or FXAA.
FO3, now that I think about it, was actually pretty good with it's AA. The issues came from disabling the AA for purposes of using ENB. But.. i couldn't play FO3 without ENB anymore lol. The FO4 FXAA is similar to FO3 without having any AA at all activated. Yeah, TAA does blur the hell out of some objects (power lines noticeably.. to me anyways). Would be nice to have had a better option. -Michael
Less information please. Those prerequisites really put me off of every mod you cover, and it freaksme out, like my game is an eggshell. will my game just stop running forever if I ignore one of the 82 things I'm told to consider, before installing?
GamerPoets lol, that was a fit of frustration. Though, i don't get what i need from these videos, i acknowledge the quality and dedication that goes into it. I know i'm an outlier, as many people give you endless praise. I did install the mod, and everything works fine. Or at least as "good" as it did before. Assuming you respond i might have a question on an issue, that's seemingly specific to my game. I can't find any help anywhere else, and i'm thinking your more extensive knowledge might help a bit.
You may not need anything form them = ) What you need is whatever it is that you are looking for. You're watching a video on Bethini for FO4. You get to know what the program does and at least at the time of the upload each and every piece of your game that using this app will alter. I don't use it = )... I do this stuff manually. Some people don't have the time to learn/mess with their ini files directly. ... but.. for those who do have time I provide what those settings are in case you want to manually mess with them. Also... welcome to come over to my discord = )... link is on the channel banner. Comments eventually get buried but at least there you can get me whenever I'm not working on content/on the pc. -Michael

Hi, how to avoid flickering as in 15:50 right bottom corner?
After all these years I am finally doing a clean install of the game and modding it fresh. This video is amazing. Thank you so much!
Glad it could help = )
@@gamerpoets This should still be compatible with Mod Organizer 2, right?
honestly that intro is one of the most amazing things i have ever seen
also : at around 14:40 there's the skyrim theme. seems a bit inappropriate (and distracting) to me.
That's Oblivion's main theme = ) Much of the rest of the video has Skyrim music playing throughout...
I would say that if I were streaking naked through the video that may be considered inappropriate... the music?...I'd call that the creator's choice for what he wants to hear in the final product of is labors = )

Very nice video. Followed right along without problem. If I missed something, well then I just move the red line back a little.
Glad to hear = )

please help. i downloaded put it in the same folder that the launcher is in and set it to run as administrator. when i start bethini it does the choose game which i choose fallout4 then it says that it can not find the launcher and to do it manually with browse. when i pick the launcher it says i dont have permission. please guide me lol im lost and cant figure it out.

Always fantastic!

this is great but can you help me with the problem I am having. It takes me 10 to 20 seconds for a texture to load and thats if I look at it. If I don't look at it it will take more time to load, my specs GTX970 3GB, 16GB RAM intel core i7.

The issue itself I'm not too sure about. I've had issues where LOD files (distant static objects) would overlay on their upclose counterparts. Generally setting the postload time to 2000, (and lowering my DynDOLOD settings in Skyrim, as that is where the originated from) fixed this.

GP - I have to say that this instruction set, like just about all of the things you produce, is brilliant and inclusive with great visuals to assist with the explanations. Unfortunately, while there are some good basic guides for SKYRIM SE SKSE64, they tend to lack depth and clarity as well as visual examples. Moreover, BethINI has a more than a few additional setting which are not covered in this video (obviously, because FO4 does not have these settings). In any case, if you have it within you and your time, could you please create a similar video for SSE (and a linke to NexusMod BethINI page would be great too).
Thank-you, in advance, for your time and consideration, all the best...
This tool is one of the mods that is recommended in the guide. But surprisingly this guide works for Skyrim even though it is for FO4 which kinda shows your ability to explain things in a concise manner. Great job sir.
PS: How to get this to work with MO so I can launch BethINI from MO and not rely on a separate shortcut in my desktop ?
You can't launch it from MO. Just like the opening says. You just point BethINI at MO on setup and let it do its thing.
-Michael
thanks guys. and a great video. thank you
Glad you liked it = )

when i get into my profile for the bethini setup for MO2 there are no profiles but default and that has no ini
I reinstalled bethini after backing up my game files and basically doing a clean sweep, but now whenever I open it it just goes to the. Choose game, and closes within 2 seconds, and then bethini disappears from the folder
which is better for configuring the ini files of fallout 4, beth ini or fallout 4 configuration tool by bilago?
I don't know how, but on my last modding session of Fallout 4, after installing BethINI, I finally achieved 70+ fps at the top of Corvega and other areas where performance is normally shit. Upon making a new save game, my performance in those areas was shit again around the 40s. After two years I was finally able to see the game at a solid 60 in those areas. I'm going to try to replicate it and figure out what I did to get that performance. I was extremely pissed when this glimmer of stability faded after starting a new game. It's my new goal in life to figure out how to get 60+ fps in the shit areas and how to keep it that way. Two freaking years of modding and tweaking and I struck gold just for it to be taken away in a matter of hours. Now I know that it's possible for the game to run great in demanding areas. Seen it with my own two god damn eyes. i7 4790k, GTX 1080, 16GB of RAM. Those are my specs and honestly I shouldn't have to go through this to get that kind of performance. Guess we all have to do Bethesdas job for them. Anyways. Came here to comment because I think by some happy accident BethINI had something to do with this when I was tweaking. Will update if I manage to recreate the miracle.
On Fallout 4 Bethini turns off Rain Occlusion every time I run it even though it's not one of the choices.
I heard that the setting is broke. No testing on it on my end by supposedly one or off it still stays ok. I'd check with DoubleYou and mention it to him.
-Michael
bethINI is totally broken. if i press the Default preset, it will always say bethINI failed. but not pressing it will make bethini useless.
Hail!
I may be a potato, but, as i understand.
Mod Organizer 1, doesn't work with Fallout 4 and Skyrim Special Edition.
So, we must use Mod Organizer 2.
But, with that, i've readed that MO2 have some peculiar installation process to make it work properly.
And, i may just be blind, but i haven't found a tutorial, for MO2 installation on the Channel.
Is the Tutorial for him, something on the works, it's launched, or it's not gonna be released, as Vortex(?) aproaches even closer to public release?
Anyway, i really love your videos! Great work!
By the way,
I am thinking of attempting to make something similar to your great work, but in PT_BR, because many users from Brazil, can read but aren't good into hearing and understand english, and i would ask if there would be problems if i use your great tutorials as a baseline.
Of course, all credits would be pointed here!
when i installed bethini for SSE i got my fps dropped to 12 fps everywhere:/
does anyone know how to fix this? i play with a controller and i cant use it either while bethini is applied
Hey GamerPoets I need help cuz I check marked the maximize window without any consideration and now my game won't run anymore :( pls help!!!!
Thanks for your job,but how Can i put in fullscreen???? I don't know what to do please help
bethini not saving I did everything but nothing works I even changed INI Path Mod organizer 2 Well, it still doesn't work
You have mentioned that if modded one should avoid changing the configuration with the game interface and do it changing the ini file. Can you give some advise changing the ini files?
Just subscribed. Man, Great channel. I have always watched Gopher & Xuul and Dirty Weasel. They are all good. Real good. Found you by accident and you are REALLY good at this. They say a true master can explain the complicated in a simple way. You, sir, are a master!
Right, then, I have a question for you. At the time of this video, you make it clear that running FO3\FO4\FONV through MO, MO will use the default ini files which would include changes such as 4gb or mouse changes, right?
In other words, any changes I made directly to Fallout 3 ini files (using notepad++) will be used by MO. At least when this video was made. So if MO begins to use its "own" ini files, will they be based upon those same modified files in my GOTY folder? Or does MO generate its own from some other database? How will I know which ones it is using without examining ini files individually and comparing them?
Can you explain this? Thanks a ton.
Nope. MO will completely ignore the default location (my games directory) ini path. Checkout todays mod organizer video upload, look in the description and jump ahead to the ini file section (its short) It may explain it better. MO's .ini files are stored within mod organizer/profiles and that's the ones that it uses. MO2 for FO4 and SSE is something that I won't touch yet due to all the bugs with 64bit games that the new MO team is working out. I've heard that many are using it but it has too many issue for me to tackle just yet = )
.. .and thank you for yoru comment George = )
-Michael
Yup, playing around with it helped the proverbial lightbulb come on. Not the most intuitive program, but powerful. And sorta fun by itself. Thanks. Any chance on FO3LODGen tutorial? Or FNV
LODGen.. one day = ) ... After I finish remaking my older videos (many of which for the last time) and trying to figure out some more recent mod stuff to create content for I will. I already have the foundation for a FNVLODgen created thanks to someone writing a bunch of notes for me. Just need the time. I will in time.
-Michael
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong, I'm trying to start a new playthrough and I haven't even got to start yet because I noticed my hair color mods aren't showing in game. I have the beautiful eyes mod and that shows up, even the hair styles show up. Only the hair colors aren't there. I've made all the ini edits, I've tried deleting them and re doing them. I've tried uninstalling fallout 4 and reinstalling it, still no success. Can anyone help me?
Hey GP, been a huge fan since forever ago. I have a question related to the ini files. I have a 75hz monitor and a graphics card that can kick ass. However I have load times of upwards to 30 seconds. How can I lower this? I have read that the game's physics is tied to the FPS but so are the load times. I don't want to screw with the physics but I want to not wait around in loading screens for 35 minutes when I only have half an hour to play. What suggestions do you have?
why can't i delete the ini files? My fallout 4 keeps crashing and it is the only method left that bethesda has given, the rest didn't work. Please tell me what to do
Why can't you? You just go to My Documents/Fallout 4 and delete them. Once you launch the game they will be regenerated.
-Michael
@@gamerpoets but at 1:55 you said don't delete them. It doesn't matter any more though, the problem with my game has been solved. Thankyou for replying though
@@MarcusofMenace Glad you got it working = )
-Michael
Do I need to use Mod Organizer or can I still use Nexus Mod Manager? If no, then do I just direct my file path for "Mod Organizer" to NexusModManager.exe? Or do I leave it blank?
Would you recommend using the bethini ultra preset?
I've got a 1080, i7 4790k, and 16gb of ram if my specs help any.
OMG IM SO EXCITED!!!! I LITERALLY JUST FIGURED OUT HOW TO MAKE BETHINI WORK WITH MY MICROSOFT STORE VERSION OF FALLOUT4 GOTY. I SEARCHED FOR DAYS AND THERE WAS NO HELP ANYWHERE. SO PROUD OF MYSELF.
Are there any significant changes I should know if starting to mod now, being that this video is nearly three years old?
No clue. I don't use Bethini.
Hello Michael, would you recommend this instead of fallout 4 configuration tool? my priority is to boost performance, remove or lower what i dont really need etc.
Never used that one = )
Any program like this, for me, is a good starting point. If I'm trying to optimize anything I'm getting into the .ini files directly and playing around. But this does give you a decent amount of options and its created by someone I "know" and trust.
-Michael
is there a way to undo the tweaking you did if you fucked something up? if there is please do tell
10:16
-Michael
omg thank you so much! it must have been a part of the video i missed, i should have watched more of the video before saying anything xD
no worries = )
-Michael
This channel is the tits. I love it.
=)
Name of the intro song?
Man fallout 4 runs but it doesnt load the game just the start menu i have 1-3 fps on loading screen and it gets stuck while my start menus has 3 to 16 fps
Make sure things are working before using bethini. Then you can go and try to dial things down. If you use a custom.ini it's going to overwrite what this app does to the default ini files.
-Michael
@@gamerpoets thanks man
So if i use this mod, i dont have to change ini settings as recommended in the mods i download?
It really depends.
You should check your ini before changing something.
Hello, I would like to start using BethINI but the mod manager that I am using is Vortex. Do I install this mod manually without applying it to Vortex or route it to Vortex like you would with Mod Organizer? Thanks in advance to anyone that can share the answer.
Hey Jack = )
I don't know much about Vortex. Check with DoubleYou on the STEP wiki forums. He's the person who created Bethini. If you will get a correct answer anywhere it will be there.
-Michael
Thank you very much for the quick reply and the great vids, their top notch!
I don't have a Steam version ...
Does "NPCs Use Ammo" apply to followers as well???
Huh!... never thought of that = )
I'd imagine so but I honestly don't know. Good question.
-Michael
Quick problem. Really it's a small thing but since it never happened before I started fiddling with BethINI, I figured I'd bring it up.
No idea if BethINI is even the cause, it just started happening after I followed your video.
Whenever I start NMM from my E drive (similar to how you present it in the NMM install video) a window pops up saying "You have no Fallout 4 INI file. Please run Fallout 4 to initialize the file before installing any mods or turning on Archive Invalidation."
It honestly runs fine after that window. I can even install mods fine (I tried a single cheat console mod to test it on an older save) The thing is I did run FO4 before DL either BETHINI or NMM, so I'm confused as to why this would be happening.
In the end it seems just to be a hoop to jump through before getting into NMM proper. Although I am curious as to what I may have done to have this appear. Anyone else come across this? Any help is appreciated.
I don't use NMM much but I've actually been seeing this recently as well. I only use it to test out things on rare occasions for FO4 and Skyrim SE (I get it with both games). I think it could just be something to do with NMM (but that's really just a guess from not using it much). I never had any issues either after ignoring the message and it always returns. In case it is a BethINI related issue (i doubt it, but I can't tell you that for certain) I could check with DoubleYou on the STEP wiki forums (post a new topic if need be). He will give you a direct answer.
-Michael
also, i don't get this issue with Mod Organizer on my 32bit games that I've used BethINI on, which is what makes me think that it may just be something new with NMM... but again...
-Michael
Hey gamer poets since you use a similar setup as me I was wondering what graphic settings work best for you for fallout 4?:)
I haven't played much of FO4 =)
I wouldn't say that I have any solid way to really tweak or modify the game yet. Will probably be a while.
-Michael
subtle enb works good, if that's what you meant.
-sleggo of the gamerpoets
I think I've used subtle ENB. May even be used in the comparisons other than the shadow ones... can't remember which one I have but sounds familiar.
-Michael
GamerPoets It's not as good as fallout new Vegas or 3 but it's ok. I was wondering because my god it doesn't run well in urban areas even on a gtx 1080
Yeah, I noticed the slow downs when I was getting footage... there will be a lot of tweaking to really mod the game and pump up some of the settings. I'll have time one day for it I hope = )
-Michael
does the instructions in this video also work for skyrim SE as well?
Installation, yes. ini files settings will all be different. Will make a vid eventually showing the comparisons. This month is about updating old vids for me.
-Michael
GamerPoets awesome can't wait, can't launch skyrim SE. it won't read my video hardware and sets it to low. do you know anything that can help me with that? I tried checking my gtx card but nothing works..
I also use Nexus, just in case that might be a problem.
Haven't really messed around with it much. You can manually change the hardware in the .ini file (i think.... you would in skyrim 32bit). Might want to check the STEP wiki forums. DoubleYou (who created this) is on those forums as well. I'm about to go back to sleep lol = )
-Michael
GamerPoets ok cool, thank you lol
=)
will this work for the Vortex manager
I dont see why not. Shouldn't need a manager at all if I remember correctly.
do you still recommend using beth ini and these settings?
I don't use anything automated. I think Bethini is good and is something to use if you don't have time to learn how to do things manually.
-Michael
Can you make a new vegas version?
It's not something I recommend for New Vegas.
-Michael
@@gamerpoets Why not? Will it break the game?
@@reeceyb505 People with more knowledge than me have warned me against it for fnv in the past... I knew their reasons but have since forgot:) ... I personally dont use much of anything that's automated any more, though I understand the need
-Michael
@@gamerpoets Alright, know any good alternatives?
TAA sucks! It really does. This post processing crap isnt anti aliasing, it's just blurring your image so you cant see aliasing anymore. Use DSR (nvidia) or VSR (amd) instead. Both are available in the driver.
And I would recommend HBAO over SSAO in every game since the latter just adds shadows to every object, no matter if it makes sense or not. Generally speaking that is, since I dont own FO4.
And Michael you really need fo calm down. The amount of information you put in each of these tutorials is just epic. Haven't seen something like this in my many years in youtube.
Can't stop now friend = ) In the literal sense I"m actually more calm then I've been a while. Ready to work =)
-Michael
great to hear.
Btw I didnt mean to sound rude. It's just that the devs at Bethesda and modders as well put so much time and effort into making these detailed textured, only to have them ruined by some fake AA.
I get you = )
But if your only choice is FXAA or TAA... using FXAA will leave you with a light show around the edges of objects lol. Its even worse than AA in FO3 (my assumption is because FO3 was more "cartoon like" and FO4's image is more sharp and "realistic" so the contrast between the crawling edges and their objects was lessened.. at least to my eye). I use ENB myself so I always turn it all off = )
-Michael
FO3 had MSAA as an option iirc. And MSAA is proper AA. FO4 uses defered rendering, where MSAA isn´t possible because the lighting information isn´t available at the time the geometry (ie your polygons) are getting rendered.
And ENB just uses SMAA, which is a post processing effect as well, but it´s not nearly as bad as TAA or FXAA.
FO3, now that I think about it, was actually pretty good with it's AA. The issues came from disabling the AA for purposes of using ENB. But.. i couldn't play FO3 without ENB anymore lol. The FO4 FXAA is similar to FO3 without having any AA at all activated.
Yeah, TAA does blur the hell out of some objects (power lines noticeably.. to me anyways). Would be nice to have had a better option.
-Michael
Less information please. Those prerequisites really put me off of every mod you cover, and it freaksme out, like my game is an eggshell. will my game just stop running forever if I ignore one of the 82 things I'm told to consider, before installing?
These are tutorials not mainstream fluff ads. If you are freaked out there are other hobbies = )
-Michael
GamerPoets lol, that was a fit of frustration. Though, i don't get what i need from these videos, i acknowledge the quality and dedication that goes into it. I know i'm an outlier, as many people give you endless praise. I did install the mod, and everything works fine. Or at least as "good" as it did before. Assuming you respond i might have a question on an issue, that's seemingly specific to my game. I can't find any help anywhere else, and i'm thinking your more extensive knowledge might help a bit.
You may not need anything form them = ) What you need is whatever it is that you are looking for. You're watching a video on Bethini for FO4. You get to know what the program does and at least at the time of the upload each and every piece of your game that using this app will alter. I don't use it = )... I do this stuff manually. Some people don't have the time to learn/mess with their ini files directly. ... but.. for those who do have time I provide what those settings are in case you want to manually mess with them. Also... welcome to come over to my discord = )... link is on the channel banner. Comments eventually get buried but at least there you can get me whenever I'm not working on content/on the pc.
