-- v 1.05 out.

- minor stability and performance tweaks.

-- v 1.04 out.

- tweaked level of detail for land to smooth ground drawing to match building and tree draw better.

-- v 1.03 out.

- Changed Field of View when using the pipboy 3000 from 47 to 55 to match player field of view; It no longer 'zooms' when bringing your arm up or putting your arm down.

Changed the specular and shadow level of detail fade distances to correspond with light fading (raising their values to 3500):

fSpecularLODStartFade=3500
fShadowLODStartFade=3500
fLightLODStartFade=3500


-- v 1.02 out.

Tweaked these values to improve performance while still maintaining maximum quality [reverting back to my original pre-release settings].

fTreeLoadDistance=100000.0
fBlockLoadDistanceLow=100000.0
fBlockLoadDistance=125000.0000

-- v 1.01 out.

- Changed multithreaded tags from 0 to 1 for most threaded options. Those with multi-core systems may see a slight improvement in performance.

** Threaded option under the Audio section not recommended, can lead to crackling audio on some systems. **

- altered cell size to tackle the grass draw issue.

--------------------------

This is my own custom fallout.ini and falloutperfs.ini for increased visuals past ultra high while maintaining the same level of performance or better.

- MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS:

4+ GIGS RAM, pc6400+
Geforce 8800 GT/Radeon 3850 or better
dual-core/quad-core 2.4ghz or better


** REMEMBER ** This config is tweaked directly from the Ultra High setting so any controls/sounds will be all default. These files are for reference and may not be directly compatible with your machine, use at your own risk. Should you have a problem, simply remove these files and the game will automatically default back to it's original settings.

The system I use:

EVGA GTX 280 SSC
q6600 2.4ghz @ 3.0ghz/1333fsb
4gb pc6400 ddr2
vista ultimate x64

---

** These values i've tweaked are not for everyone. Make sure you have a system capable of handling these enhanced settings. **

Main points of my configuration:

- improved draw distances for trees and buildings and other small tweaks.

Here are some highlights:

My Configuration:
fTreeLoadDistance=115000.0
fBlockLoadDistanceLow=115000.0
fBlockLoadDistance=135000.0000

====

VeryHigh:
fTreeLoadDistance=40000.0000
fBlockLoadDistanceLow=50000.0000
fBlockLoadDistance=125000.0000

- Much higher limits decals, good in conjunction with improved blood decals mods.

My Configuration:
fDecalLifetime=1200.0000
iMaxDecalsPerFrame=1000

Very High:
fDecalLifetime=10.0000
iMaxDecalsPerFrame=10

- More shadows drawn on screen at once.

My Configuration:
iActorShadowCountInt=50
iActorShadowCountExt=50

Very High:
iActorShadowCountInt=6
iActorShadowCountExt=6

bInvalidateOlderFiles=0 has been changed to bInvalidateOlderFiles=1 to allow mods such as higher resolution weapons/blood.

- other minor tweaks

There are other tweaks included in the files if you wish to dig through them. Some of the shadow related features are enabled but do not work, i'm not sure if this is a limitation with the game engine or a bug.
