fShadowBiasScale[edit | edit source]
fShadowBiasScale is believed to be unused by the game. In testing, no difference was noticed. In Skyrim it set the depth bias of the shadows applied to surfaces, but it does not have this effect in Fallout 4.
Default is 1.0000.
fShadowBiasScale=(...,-0.0001,0,0.0001,...)
fShadowDistance[edit | edit source]
fShadowDistance is believed to be unused by the game. In testing, no difference was noticed. In Skyrim it set the distance that shadows were rendered. This setting has been replaced by fDirShadowDistance in Fallout 4.

iVolumetricLightingQuality[edit | edit source]
iVolumetricLightingQuality sets the quality of Godrays. 0 is low. 1 is medium. 2 is High. 3 is Ultra (recommended). It doesn't appear that there is a difference between low (0) and medium (1). Anything below Ultra (3) has been reported as causing the player character (PC) to pixelate.
Dependent upon:
- bVolumetricLightingEnable=1
Default is 0.
iVolumetricLightingQuality=(0,1,2,3)
sAntiAliasing[edit | edit source]
sAntiAliasing sets the kind of anti-aliasing (AA) used. Leaving it blank disables AA. FXAA (Fast Approximate Anti-Aliasing) costs little performance, but blurs the image, albeit not as much as TAA. TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) costs more performance than FXAA, reduces more jaggies, but can cause flickering at places. TAA can be further modified via the various fTAA- settings in Fallout4.ini > Display, but does not improve much.
Default is TAA. Recommended to leave it blank and use SMAA via ReShade.
sAntiAliasing= sAntiAliasing=FXAA sAntiAliasing=TAA
sD3DDevice[edit | edit source]
sD3DDevice appears to only be used by the Fallout 4 Launcher to detect the correct preset. It has been verified that it is not used by the game itself, just the Launcher. If Fallout 4 is not using the correct graphics card, fix that elsewhere (i.e., the driver).
sD3DDevice="Name of Graphics Card"
uiOrthoShadowFilter[edit | edit source]
uiOrthoShadowFilter sets the level of filtering (blur) applied to shadows.
Default is 3. 1 is no filtering. 2 is a low filtering. 3 is max filtering.
uiOrthoShadowFilter=(1,2,3)
uiShadowFilter[edit | edit source]
uiShadowFilter is believed to be unused by the game. In testing, no difference was noticed. It is likely an old setting that was replaced by uiOrthoShadowFilter.
Default is 3.
