This way it is possible to disable variables or placing comments. It doesn't matter, if this is done in an extra line, or directly after a valid value, though the latter isn't recommended. Text after a isn't regarded by the game and can serve for annotations. In rare cases values with high numbers, e.
Though f loating-point variables may have up to 4 decimal places, it is recommended to cut them down to the last digit that is not 0. This doesn't count for s tring variables, which use nothing if their value is set to empty. Removing the value of a variable or the variable at all will not disable the according setting, instead the default value will be used by the game. Only the first section with a specific label is taken into account, a second section with the same name would be completely ignored. Sections are defined by square brackets around the name, e. A file of this type can be edited with any text editor, though it is recommended to use a simple one - such as Windows' Notepad - to avoid unallowed symbols or unwished formatting. In the worst case all changes can be undone by deleting the Fallout. Editing the file can lead to game crashes, strange visual behavior, more errors or even a blue screen. In addition it is wise to do changes step-by-step, so that unwanted effects can easily be reverted. It is strongly recommended to, before doing any changes to game files at all, make a backup copy of them. There are many guides and utilities spread across the web, regarding optimization, cleaning, and tweaking for an audio-visual appearance exceeding the game's ultra settings. Some possible variables aren't listed at all, but default values for them are hard-coded.
For some variables it is unknown if the game really uses them. Some variables appear twice in the same section, in which case it's unclear which value is taken into account by the game, though it can be assumed, that this would be the first one. The sections and variables are in no specific order.
The variables are organized in sections, with some appearing in more than one section.Īlso some variables are contained in both configuration files, the Fallout. It normally remains unchanged, though the Fallout: New Vegas version is overwritten with default values each time the game is started via Steam. It is then saved in the user's My Game directory. It contains values about audio and graphical options, background processes, implementation of the Havok Physics engine, and many more.
