I just fixed both of these on my own 3 x 16:9 surround setup. You can edit the scales and camera positions for the 3D UI elements using the ini file.

Unfortunately, this doesn't allow us to fix bad aspect ratios, but at least we can make things big enough to see details.



On the bright side, the books/notes already display in the right aspect, just not big enough, so this properly fixes them.

Option 1: Simply make the height correct. Merge this with Fallout4.ini:



Option 2: For the horizontally-squished elements, make them a bit taller than originally intended, in order to show more detail that has been lost from the squishing. Merge this with Fallout4.ini:



Note this assumes 48:9 (surround/eyefinity). For 21:9 you'd want to scale fWorkshopMenuItem3DScale and the two distances by 48/21.

TL;DR version:

If you like 1300 at 5760x1080, try using 1396 at 6048x1080.

Long version:

That value is supposed to be the left edge of the UI on a 1280x720 display, since the UI was authored for 1280x720. It's simply scaled up or down as needed for the actual resolution.

The default value is 64. Personally I think that's way too much safe zone on a computer monitor, but that's nevertheless the default. I personally use a value of 20.

For non-bezel-corrected 3 x 16:9 surround, you just need to add the left monitor's width to the value. Remember the UI thinks a monitor is 1280x720, so that's 1280 to add. By default, that gives 1280+64 = 1344. However, most people seem to agree with me about a smaller default of 20 or so, so they go with 1280+20 = 1300.

For bezel-corrected 3 x 16:9 surround, you also need to add one bezel to the value, but it has to be as if you were running 1280x720 monitors. Your actual bezel correction appears to be 144 when running 1920x1080, but if you were running 1280x720, it'd be one-third fewer pixels, so I'd say to add 96 to whichever value you like best for the non-bezel corrected resolution.

I gave up and started playing on my centre monitor only. Sad Abe. The premade fixes worked well enough, but my wonky PLP aspect ratio have me a stretched HUD, and other weirdness.

So... this thread is really scattered. Any chance someone in the know could do a write up and consolidate the information in a new topic or have an admin update the original post?

I'd potentially take a stab at an automated patcher. It doesn't look like it would be that difficult. I scanned through some of the GUI files and they're just SWF files, so doing some sort of batch decompile/edit/recompile makes a lot more sense than manual editing.

I can not even play on 1 mon. now so I think I have a new problem. It played fine on 1 mon. before I tried the fix & now both of them my char. stops in mid air, just ridiculous.

I am just going to wait for a better fix, the lag is just terrible like this. I just can not believe like others that a Game Dev. today would be so reckless in my opinion. Cross Fire did not come out yesterday & to leave that alone out is pathetic & just plain laziness. They need to get their head out their ass & get caught up with the new cards on the market.
