[General]

; 0 is off and leaving it blank is on. Turns on or off the intro movie on a new game.
; It's pretty easy to tap Escape, but it doesn't hurt to save yourself a tap.
SMainMenuMovieIntro=0

; 0 is off, and leaving it blank is on. Turns on or off intro slides.
; They hide an invisible loading, so this doesn't mean you'll instantly have mouse control.
SIntroSequence=0

; Default's 0. Cleans up RAM of old areas' cache.
; Probably unloads during loading screens, but not 100% sure on specifics.
bPreemptivelyUnloadCells=1

; Default's 0. Let's the game handle AI processing a little easier.
; The other "bUseThreaded" lines are either not read by the game at all, or don't make noticeable difference.
bUseThreadedAI=1

; Default's 2. Tells the game the number of CPU threads it can use for things.
; Setting it to 2 generally helps stability and performance. The game engine can only handle 2 threads at a time.
iNumHWThreads=2

; Default's 3. Memory used for loading interior cells.
; Anymore than 9 would be excessive, even with interior expanding and/or NPC adding mods.
uInterior Cell Buffer=6

; Default's 32. Memory used for loading exterior cells.
;This setting can easily waste RAM, so don't raise it over 64.
uExterior Cell Buffer=42

; Default's 0. Whether the game stores cache on the drive instead of RAM.
; Usually causes stutter on hard drives. No idea if it'll hurt or help. Don't enable it unless you've installed the game on a SSD.
bUseHardDriveCache=0

; Default's 0. Forces the game to make NPCs' face textures as you play, fixing any "grey face" bug.
; This has a hefty performance toll. Don't uncomment unless you have a mod that explicitly requires it.
; Commented out due to afforementioned lag risk.
;bLoadFaceGenHeadEGTFiles=1


[Display]

; Default's 1. Vertical sync, along with a built in 60 FPS cap.
; Don't turn it off unless you use an external frame rate capper (i.e. ENB, ENBoost, or RTSS).
; Have your frame rate capper set at 60 or less, if you disable this. The game breaks at higher frame rates.
iPresentInterval=1

; Default is set between 0 and 8. Antialiasing.
; Set it to 0 if you use ENB, or you'll get objects and effects showing through walls.
; Commented out since not everyone uses ENBs.
;iMultiSample=0

; Anisotropic filtering. Can be set between 0 and 16.
; Set it to 0 if you use ENB, since ENB's own AF feature will conflict (even if ENB's is off).
; Commented out since not everyone uses ENBs.
;iMaxAnisotropy=0

; Default's 75. Third person field of view.
; Set it higher to see more around you. Anymore than 90 is excessive.
fDefaultFOV=90

; Default's 55. First person field of view.
; Most people prefer 90 these days, but anymore than 75 causes animation clipping.
; Any higher than default might cause clipping with gun-adding and animation mods.
; Commented out since you probably want the default.
;fDefault1stPersonFOV=55

; 0 is off, 1 is Medium, 2 is High. Blurring on shadows' edges to help reduce jagged lines.
; You probably won't see a difference between 1 and 2 (unless you set the resolution especially low).
; Commented out since you probably want the launcher settings or BethINI to handle it.
;iShadowFilter=1

; Default's 1. Whether NPCs cast a shadow.
; Commented out by default since you probably want the launcher settings or BethINI to handle it.
;bDoActorShadows=1

; Default's 1. Whether some objects will have a subtle shine on them.
; Disabling helps performance on older GPUs.
; Commented out since you probably want the launcher settings or BethINI to handle it.
;bDoSpecularPass=1

; Default's 1. Gives windows a reflection.
; Disabling helps performance on older GPUs.
; Commented out since you probably want the launcher settings or BethINI to handle it.
;bDynamicWindowReflections=1

; Default's 0. Puts shadows on grass.
; Looks nicer having grass with shadows, but has FPS hit in grassy areas.
; Commented out due to afforementioned lag risk.
;bShadowsOnGrass=1

; Default's 0.
; Whether NPCs can cast shadows on themselves, i.e. arms and nose. Improved the look of NPCs in Oblivion.
; May or may not work on New Vegas. Haven't made comparisons yet.
; Commented out since you probably want the launcher settings or BethINI to handle it.
;bActorSelfShadowing=1

; Defaults are 12 on Ultra. Highest I've tested is 24.
; Amount of shadows casted on screen. Resource intensive with ENB, but relatively safe to raise (within reason).
; Commented out due to afforementioned lag risk.
;iActorShadowCountInt=24
;iActorShadowCountExt=24


[BlurShaderHDR]

; Needs to be 1 for ENB. High definition rendering.
; If you don't use ENB, feel free to turn it off for an FPS boost.
; Commented out since not everyone uses ENBs.
;bDoHighDynamicRange=1


[Audio]

; Default's 1024. Memory for caching for sounds.
; Setting of 8192 helps with sound lag/delay issues. 16384 is max I've tested, if you want to go higher.
iAudioCacheSize=8192

; Default's 256. Maximum file size of sounds to be cached.
; Setting of 1024 helps with sound lag/delay issues. 1024 is max I've tested, if you want to go higher.
iMaxSizeCachedSound=1024

; Default is 1. Some useless audio debugging that you'll never need.
bUseAudioDebugInformation=0


[Grass]

; Default's 80. How densely patches of grass are packed together.
; You can set it to 90 or 100 for a minor grass density difference, in exchange for more FPS in grassy areas.
; Commented out since not everyone would need to edit it.
;iMinGrassSize=90

; Default's 2. Maximum amount of grass textures the game will use in-game.
; Various grass mods in other Gamebryo/Creation games usually suggest 15.
; The setting alone doesn't hurt FPS so I upped it.
iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=15

; Default's 0. Makes light render differently on grass.
; Commented out, as it's up to personal taste and if you use a grass mod that needs it.
;bGrassPointLighting=1


[Controls]

; Leave the following settings as I left them, or comment them out.
; Everything in this section turns off mouse acceleration.
fForegroundMouseAccelBase=0
fForegroundMouseAccelTop=0
fForegroundMouseBase=0
fForegroundMouseMult=0


[FootIK]

; Leave the following settings as I left them, or comment them out.
; This section assumes you're using the spiritual successor to NVSR, New Vegas Tick Fix.
; You should use it if you aren't already. Quite a few of NVSR's features don't work on Windows 10.
; https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/66537
; Everything in this section makes foot placement on stairs mildly less accurate, but will fix leg physic bugs with NVTF.
fOnOffGain=0.01
bFootPlacementOn=0
fPelvisUpDownBias=0
fPelvisOffsetDamping=0
fOriginalGroundHeightMS=0


[GamePlay]
; Allows you to grab and move unconscious NPCs, same way you can if they're dead.
; Commented out as it's entirely preference.
;bAllowHavokGrabTheLiving=1


[Interface]

; These commented lines change the colors of the Pipboy UI and HUD.
; Fallout 4's shade of green is 352262143. You can set it to whatever you'd like.
; Commented out if you'd rather use in-game setting.
;uPipboyColor=352262143
;uHUDColor=352262143

; Default's 50. Makes held keys repeat faster.
; Commented out since it can cause issues with controller users.
;fKeyRepeatTime=300


[InterfaceFX]

; The following section's settings will make the Pipboy's screen look more like nice LCD screen, and less like a busted CRT.
; Intended for smaller-than-vanilla Pipboy replacers (Pipboy PDA, Pipboy 5000, ect.) so the small text isn't obscured.
; You can find a comparison video below.
; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eotlviTqDE
; Commented out as it's entirely preference or if you use a mod that could benefit.
;bEnableFlickerPipboy=0
;fVertHoldChance=0.00
;fShudderChance=0.00
;bEnableFlickerMenus=0
;bEnableScanlinesPipboy=0


[Pipboy]
; Rest of the LCD appearance tweaks in [InterfaceFX].
; Commented out as it's entirely preference.
;fBlurRadiusPipboy=0
;fBlurIntensityPipboy=0.00


[Loading]

; Default's 10 seconds. How long until the main menu changes between slides.
; Commented out since it's up to personal taste. I personally like it staying on one screen.
;fMainMenuBkgdUpdateInterval=100000


[LOD]

; Default's 0.5000. Was 1.2000 in Oblivion. Possibly something to do with how many tree LODs can be shown at a time.
; Commented out since you might not need it. May lessen tree flickering in greener locations, especially for TTW.
; fLODMultTrees=1.200


[Water]

; Default's 0. Makes water reflections forced to be a higher detail.
; Will probably hurt performance around the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.
; Commented out since you probably want the launcher settings or BethINI to handle it.
;bForceHighDetailReflections=1

; Default's 0. Makes explosion effects get reflected too.
; Will probably hurt performance around the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.
; Commented out since you probably want the launcher settings or BethINI to handle it.
;bReflectExplosions=1


[Menu]

; Default is 50. Lets you scroll through more of your console history.
; More useful than you'd expect, if you deal with the console often.
iConsoleHistorySize=400

; Default's 15. Amount of lines displayed on each "page" of the console.
; Feel free to experiment. I believe 25 is a nice boost, and should fit on most aspect ratios.
iConsoleVisibleLines=25


[Archive]

; Default's 1. Makes the game no longer use vanilla's files when newer ones are present.
; Required to be set at 1 for any kind of modding.
bInvalidateOlderFiles=1

; The next commented tweak is set up assuming you used FNV BSA Decompressor.
; It only takes 5 or 10 minutes to run, and makes a huge difference on how much stutter you get.
; https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65854
; Only uncomment it if you've used it. It repackages the BSA's assets a bit differently than Obsidian did.
;SArchiveList=Fallout - Invalidation.bsa, Fallout - Textures.bsa, Fallout - Textures2.bsa, Fallout - Meshes.bsa, Fallout - Meshes2.bsa, Fallout - Voices1.bsa, Fallout - Sound.bsa, Fallout - Misc.bsa


[BackgroundLoad]

; Default's 1. Multithreaded loading of NPCs' faces.
bUseMultiThreadedFaceGen=1

; Default's 0. Will clear some unused cache from RAM when fast traveling.
; If you use Zan's Autopurger, get rid of it. Both it and the "PCB" console command are known to break things.
bSelectivePurgeUnusedOnFastTravel=1
