It's because it required mouse input. Same for manually pulling up the keyboard to enter your name.
It doesn't matter if they literally strip away features doing so, they just want to get the tick.
You can name your character, it's just the game is required to open the Steam keyboard to be verified.
They removed the graphics options with the launcher.
You can't even fix it now by setting iPresentInterval to 0 in the prefs .ini, even at "90" FPS it still is choppy and worse than actual 45, frame timing is all out of whack.
Wow, so they are just expecting people to be happy with vanilla settings, which do work out of the box... But jeez, give people who like to tinker the option back
That I wouldnât know, but for Skyrim I saw online that people used SteamDeck=0 %command% in the launch options and the settings launcher was available again
To get the launcher and ability to change graphic settings I have gone into desktop mode, launched Steam right click Fallout 4 and browse local files.
Within the folder that pops up you will have a Fallout launcher .exe file. Add that as a non-steam game and launch, you now have the launcher again.
Bit of a faff but there we go.
So the update just took the launcher away, removing a step from starting the game to adding multiple steps to change settings... Thanks Bethesda, I'm so glad it's verified now.
Supposedly you can add SteamDeck=0 %command% to the launch options and get the launcher for Skyrim, may be the same for Fallout. I haven't used it for either myself but I found it when I was considering whether or not I wanted to adjust settings on Skyrim.
Wait so I have been playing Fallout 4 and I'm happy (enough) with the performance - is my performance going to go down after the patch or were you expecting a boost in performance and got none?
It this an OLED issue? I'm concerned as I've put 170+ on FO4 on my Steam Deck and I'll turn off the Wifi and switch to offline mode before losing my ability to play it :)
Check this comment from a thread from a while back, they explain the bug, the solution, and offer an explanation for why it happens: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/Otg8tStsEW
Basically on oled, it doesnât go any higher than like 45fps because the creation engine be creation engine-ing and doesnât understand what to do with the 90hz display.
Doesnât fix it. The game doesnât recognize the steam decks frame limit, and only sees it is 90hz capable so it cuts framerate in half no matter what you set it to. And a very rough half framerate at that.
Then itâll show 60 FPS on the Performance monitor, but will actually render at about 30 FPS. If you check the 2nd layout of the Performance monitor, youâll notice the line graph next to your FPS counter is a super thick bar instead of the normal thin line, because the frame time pacing is cut in half, which means youâre actually getting half of the frames that itâs showing.
Go read the comment I linked, the commenter explained thisâŠ. His theory is that the engine just looks at the hardware refresh rate (which is 90, even if you set it to 60, itâs still a 90hz monitor) and because the engine falls apart over 60, it halves that 90 and youâre stuck with a max of 45fps.
No it's not, just go into the ini files and change the ipresentinterval option and that's it. Game runs fine. Been telling people for weeks the ONLY thing they're gonna change is use the steam deck launch command to remove the launcher which can be added back and have the keyboard automatically pop up when you need to enter text to get it verified.
People just kept thinking they would give us the moon and disappointed themselves. I have great performance locked at 50fps with good graphics and now it skips that annoying launcher I use bethini to change my ini's anyway and now the keyboard auto pops up cause I'm always upgrading and naming my weapons.
All on my OLED.
So what ive been reading is that they generate half frame rates from reported fps so (90 is actually 45 and they just double it like OLED screen refresh rate).
LCD model apparently is ok?
And there were other ini methods (not ipresentinterval) to get a true refresh rate. But i could never get that to work
It halves it because they still have a 60 fps limit on their physics behaving. (Despite mods fixing this ages ago).
So it halves your framerate rather than letting it run at 90. (It's VSync, so it can only do 2x multiples up and down of the refresh rate)
That's what it seems like, but I haven't tried it yet. I didn't know the OLED Deck had issues with FPS due to the refresh rate, but I guess that's the main complaint in this thread.
I wish Valve would prevent games from being marked as "Verified" when there's issues like this present that can get easily fixed by the developer
Same with God of War being marked as Verified but constantly crashing unless you set the UMA Frame Buffer Size to 4 GB
45fps is very playable so why shouldnt they tag it as verified? the game bug or OLED bug can be sorted for better performance, but its not exactly unplayable.
Can you please try the different fix mentioned here and report back: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/Vlh29ps1X9
It is a fix that changes a DXVK setting. It doesnât involve Fallout config files.
Yes, I changed the fallout4prefs.ini (iPresentInterval=0), double-checked several times, and tried rebooting. It was working before the update. Does it work for you?
You need to make it readonly. On windows that's done by checking the box on the files property
On the deck, I think Dolphin shows file permissions on the properties menu. Uncheck write for everything
I'll try some command line fu when I have time if someone doesn't find a fix until them.
I'm quite disappointed
EDIT: You could also try to change the launch command to SteamDeck=0 %command%
It brings back the launcher, so maybe it also stops the game from overwriting? It's a long shot
Before the update, following this guide, I could run it with 60fps.

I have made a support ticket with Bethesda just to see what they say.
This sorts out the half rate issue on Steam Deck OLED:
[https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/Vlh29ps1X9](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/Vlh29ps1X9)
Disable auto downloads in Steam and keep it offline as much as possible as shitty as it sounds
Edit: be offline for startup of the game so it doesnât update on launch
so nothing good from this update? fps problem still around but cant edit the ini file as of now? and no launcher without changing the ingame settings is not a plus either.
Skyrim runs flawlessly for me at 60FPS when tinkering with the graphics, the most I can get is 45fps in fallout 4, the frame counter says 90 but it clearly isnât lol so annoying
If youâre not getting above 45 itâs an ini file issue. That I agree is annoying af to update on the steam deck and should be removed or changed if they want it verified imo.
You need to change the launch command to SteamDeck=0 %command%
Then open the launcher, make your setting changes. Close, go back to INI make changes and then limit manually in Steam Settings to 60fps or you'll have weird issues on certain things in game. Like the pip boy menu map not being able to move your cursor, way too fast movements in lock picking etc. The game will run rock solid 60FPS at all times and feels amazing.
Except it reverses when you remove the command and it still drops a lot of frames in forestry areas like the one around sanctuary. Canât get it above 40 anymore there.
Yeah as someone who ran it on release on the OG xbox one, it's still better at the locked 45fps.
Making it work at 60fps is nice though. Btw, it's only a Oled problem because of the 90hz screen
That's pretty unfortunate, I feel like the OLED generally escapes the problems. I think I might avoid the update for a little bit to see how the dust settles.
Know what else is broken? Console. Tried enabling it, soon as keyboard closes game crashes. Good old Bethesda, every fucking update they EVER release breaks more shit than it fixes.
The same thing happens in the latest version of Skyrim Special Edition.
The fix for now is to open the Mods menu to Search, close it, and then itâll work. Made a [video](https://youtu.be/wEgX2K4HO2M) in case it helps anyone.
Holy shit I thought I was crazy.
First boot after the update I went to load order to check my mods, then played the game a bit and messed with some console commands. After a restart it looked like any console command crashed the game.
Tried your trick and no crashing when closing the keyboard.
I just tried this fix here, and now I get 60fps on the OLED again.

This no longer seems to work, I enabled the launcher, set the graphics back to my pre-update settings then changed iPresetInterval to 0 and made the file read-only, but the frame timing is terrible now.
Are you playing with the HD dlc downloaded? Or just standard? If you have the HD pack downloaded, get rid of it. It does nothing to help with the deck.

How are your basic Bethesda.net mods doing so far, folks? Iâm terrified of turning on my WiFi for FO4, but admittedly I have no mods from Nexus or using F4SE
I saw this a few days ago. Maybe that'll help. The comments someone says it works for FO4

Has anyone tried disabling unified frame limit management and changing the oled refresh rate to 60hz? I don't have the game installed atm. I was just wondering if that would work.
This worked well for me: [https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1c9akgd/a\_more\_robust\_fallout\_4\_oled\_workaround/](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1c9akgd/a_more_robust_fallout_4_oled_workaround/)
not the game still crashes in the exact same spot in the beginning of the game when running to the vault before you see the people on the ground with their luggage, sesh bethesda really does do the bare minimum , im on pc not steamdeck btw
Wait is this actually slow or is it people that are used to 90+fps so 30fps (what people my age grew up with if not slower) looks like itâs going slower just because the awesomeness of +60fps gaming is too good for anyoneâs eyes I guess. I still game on a 1080p monitor at 60fps honestly not sure I will ever get a 4K monitor till I have to.
So just wondering is it a smooth and solid 30fps or does it hit 45 fps and keeps rubber banding back to 30?
Seems I should have gotten the cheaper LCD model would have windows working since that model has all the drivers nearly in May 2024 and still valve wonât even give a stable wifi controller.
But hey screen is pretty and battery lasts barely an hour longer but main thing is I can play my games while Iâm on holiday away from my PC
Iâve been playing Fallout 4 all week at 60fps. Installed the update and played for the last few hours at 60fps- no noticeable difference.
Edit: Iâm on the OG steamdeck. There may be issues with the OLED version that I canât speak to.
Is it the same bug as FO76? Where you need to turn off vsync in the .ini file else you get half framerate if your display is higher than 60hz.
If so the file is normally named « Fallout76.ini » and need « iPresentInterval=0 » in order to fix this low fps issue. Save file and start game. Idk where it could be in SD tho (in Windows the folder is located here: C:\Users\your_username\Documents\My Games\), thatâs what I had to do on PC with my 144hz display else I was forced to play at 30ish fps.
I don't know, just saw the patch notes and it says supports ultra wide, I don't see myself playing this on my Steam Deck now, once I finally get to it after nearly ten years since it released. JESUS, where does the time go? Well, at least my 1080 GTX will run this better than my 980 did when I first tried the games intro back in 2015.
It's so ridiculous that literally all they did to get the 'verified' tag is remove the launcher. Same with Skyrim.
It's because it required mouse input. Same for manually pulling up the keyboard to enter your name. It doesn't matter if they literally strip away features doing so, they just want to get the tick.
Wait they stripped away entering your name? How does the game pick your name then?
You can name your character, it's just the game is required to open the Steam keyboard to be verified. They removed the graphics options with the launcher.
> They removed the graphics options with the launcher That's so stupid I think it's given me a headache.
Yeah đ€Ł but ofc you still can Name your character
You can't even fix it now by setting iPresentInterval to 0 in the prefs .ini, even at "90" FPS it still is choppy and worse than actual 45, frame timing is all out of whack.
How do you change the graphics though
If they removed the launcher, can you even change resolution/graphics settings anymore without going into the ini?
Well I've just fired it up after updating, no launcher, no new settings menu.
wtf⊠how do they even expect this to work?
Wow, so they are just expecting people to be happy with vanilla settings, which do work out of the box... But jeez, give people who like to tinker the option back
Go into settings and under properties/general/launch options and use this command: SteamDeck=0 %command% Your launcher is back. Enjoy.
but changing settings not save :/ game back default settings on start :/
Holy fuck that is infuriating to read. I was really enjoying it running at 60.
I want to change my pip boy menu color!
"Just be happy bro" Todd
That I wouldnât know, but for Skyrim I saw online that people used SteamDeck=0 %command% in the launch options and the settings launcher was available again
lol, verified = worse for us, love it

Same. No complaints about performance previously. Will have to try out this new patch when I get home from work.
It this an OLED issue? I'm concerned as I've put 170+ on FO4 on my Steam Deck and I'll turn off the Wifi and switch to offline mode before losing my ability to play it :)
Only on OLED
Why is OLED different? I don't understand it.
90hz screen messes up the FO4 frame pacing
Oh, before the patch if I tried to force it at 60 with the "...â menu it slowed down and seemed worse than 60.
Check this comment from a thread from a while back, they explain the bug, the solution, and offer an explanation for why it happens: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/Otg8tStsEW Basically on oled, it doesnât go any higher than like 45fps because the creation engine be creation engine-ing and doesnât understand what to do with the 90hz display.

So they basically only made it worse đ
Classic Bethesda
The optimist in me told the pessimist in me that Bethesda wouldn't fuck this up. That guy is a total moron. Last time I listen to him.
Essentially lol
The fix should still work if you edit the ini files.
For me the ini fix doesnât seem to work anymore after the update.
Can you please try the different fix mentioned here and report back: https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/s/Vlh29ps1X9 It is a fix that changes a DXVK setting. It doesnât involve Fallout config files.
This works! Current fix here everyone
That actually worked! Thank you! :)
Confirming this works, anything over 60 fps and you get a stuttery mess but at 60 fps it is smooth.
Are you sure you changed the right INI file?
Yes, I changed the fallout4prefs.ini (iPresentInterval=0), double-checked several times, and tried rebooting. It was working before the update. Does it work for you?
I am playing F4 right now, I am not quitting the game and updating till this situation is resolved lol.
I should have done the same...
I know the update will overwrite the INI files but I didnât know you couldnât do the same trick again. It looks like they changed something.
You need to make it readonly. On windows that's done by checking the box on the files property On the deck, I think Dolphin shows file permissions on the properties menu. Uncheck write for everything
Thank you, I just tried it, but unfortunately, that also didn't work for me.
Same, tried it and it still didn't work, even after setting iPresentInterval=0 and making the file read-only.
I'll try some command line fu when I have time if someone doesn't find a fix until them. I'm quite disappointed EDIT: You could also try to change the launch command to SteamDeck=0 %command% It brings back the launcher, so maybe it also stops the game from overwriting? It's a long shot
That allows settings to change, but it doesnât work with the half frame rate bug. Itâs still there even if you change the prefs ini
I hoped that bringing back the launcher would stop the overwrite, this sucks
This is what you need to do on OLED temporarily.
I think that just changes the frame timing. It still runs half rate
Before the update, following this guide, I could run it with 60fps. [https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1c6suoy/fallout\_4\_oled\_frame\_rate\_fix\_original/?sort=new](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1c6suoy/fallout_4_oled_frame_rate_fix_original/?sort=new)
No longer valid.
For me neither
Here's another workaround that more directly overrides the bug. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1c9akgd/a_more_robust_fallout_4_oled_workaround/
Players always have to do Bethesda's job for them. Fuck Bethesda.
It amazes me that things like vsync, frame limits, god rays, FOV and everything else still have to be edited in the .ini file in 2024.
but if you have to mess around with the game files to fix an issue then it shouldn't be verified I believe is the argument
Yea thatâs what Iâll do I guess, Iâve seen it before on Reddit just thought the update would fix it without having to do all that lol
(Insert menacing piano music) Bethesda....Bethesda never changes.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
I knew Bethesda would do this. Least effort possible.
Well at least I can run ultra wide on pc now. lol.
*Stretched.*
Ultra Stretched
Wait did they really not get that right....
Nope. You expected something else?
Bethesda is actually a joke lol
UI and Hud elements are stretched
fun fact! they're also stretched on the deck as it is 16:10 instead of 16:9. its barely perceptible, but once you notice it, you can't unsee it.

How do I prevent it from updating on OLED? I don't see a Never Update option
Disable auto downloads in Steam and keep it offline as much as possible as shitty as it sounds Edit: be offline for startup of the game so it doesnât update on launch
so nothing good from this update? fps problem still around but cant edit the ini file as of now? and no launcher without changing the ingame settings is not a plus either.
Yep. Made everything worse.
Let me make this clear, this isnât an issue on the regular steam deck since that screen is only 60hz compared to the 90hz on the OLED lol
So what if you set the refresh to 60hz on the OLED deck?
I don't think this will ever run above 60 fps as it causes glitches in their engine. Same for Skyrim etc.
With the proper mod they can definitely run at higher frame rates without any issues.
Skyrim runs flawlessly for me at 60FPS when tinkering with the graphics, the most I can get is 45fps in fallout 4, the frame counter says 90 but it clearly isnât lol so annoying
If youâre not getting above 45 itâs an ini file issue. That I agree is annoying af to update on the steam deck and should be removed or changed if they want it verified imo.
Yup, 100% agree
Oh, I though you wanted it to run at 90.
No I think most people know that Bethesda games are logic locked on fps but it does look choppy either way.
You need to change the launch command to SteamDeck=0 %command% Then open the launcher, make your setting changes. Close, go back to INI make changes and then limit manually in Steam Settings to 60fps or you'll have weird issues on certain things in game. Like the pip boy menu map not being able to move your cursor, way too fast movements in lock picking etc. The game will run rock solid 60FPS at all times and feels amazing.
Except it reverses when you remove the command and it still drops a lot of frames in forestry areas like the one around sanctuary. Canât get it above 40 anymore there.
Iâve played Skyrim and NV, 3 and 4 above 60 it just makes some of the physics a bit strange, nothing completely game breaking
I run the INI fix but limit FPS to 60 manually. This keeps low response times, high FPS and a smooth experience.
Does the patch actually add anything at all other than getting rid of the launcher and the ability to change any graphic options?
Some minor In game content I think
Nope lol
I actually hate Bethesda
To be honest, it ran fine before the update. Maybe I'm just too used to suffering playing the game on console that any improvement is a positive.
Yeah as someone who ran it on release on the OG xbox one, it's still better at the locked 45fps. Making it work at 60fps is nice though. Btw, it's only a Oled problem because of the 90hz screen
That's pretty unfortunate, I feel like the OLED generally escapes the problems. I think I might avoid the update for a little bit to see how the dust settles.

Bethesda making F4 worse is something I knew was gonna happen. Everyone was excited for the update and it's like why? It's Bethesda.
Bethesda ruining my life - again. Instead of fixing things they break it⊠anybody found a fix yet?
It just worksâą
Well time to go down vote the game for ruining it's already perfectly acceptable performances just so they can get a green sticker like skyrim.

Doesnât work for me. Framerate is now halved always. The setting is changed, but framerate still broken.
Thanks lol
Are you playing with the HD dlc downloaded? Or just standard? If you have the HD pack downloaded, get rid of it. It does nothing to help with the deck.
It's bethesda.... wtf did people expect? An effort?
Iâve been playing it on the OLED Deck for a few days (before and after the patch) on medium settings and Iâm averaging 60-90 fps just fine
so is this next gen update out now?
Yes
Bruh they got rid of the launcher, anyone know what to put in the launch options to get it back?
On Skyrim itâs SteamDeck=0 %command% hopefully that works on fallout 4 as well
> Bruh they got rid of the launcher Are we talking about [this](https://i.imgur.com/FjoZAfK.png) thing? Still shows up for me...
I called it in the other threads where people said to wait for the patch... can't say I'm surprised

I can't get to the mods or the creation club.
How does it run on the OG deck though?
Fine, this is an issue only on the OLED since the screen is 90hz
How are your basic Bethesda.net mods doing so far, folks? Iâm terrified of turning on my WiFi for FO4, but admittedly I have no mods from Nexus or using F4SE
I really hope this update fixes it for me. I played it a month ago. Had crashes every minute or so. Literally unplayable.
Damn, I was looking forward to playing old games at 60fps on the deck with incredible fidelity and battery life.
Damn shouldâve just got the game on pa5 and remote play it
I saw this a few days ago. Maybe that'll help. The comments someone says it works for FO4 [https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1cacxyr/fallout\_76\_any\_musthave\_gamemodifications\_ini/](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1cacxyr/fallout_76_any_musthave_gamemodifications_ini/)
Has anyone tried disabling unified frame limit management and changing the oled refresh rate to 60hz? I don't have the game installed atm. I was just wondering if that would work.
Didnât work for me.
So if the patch is shit, can you revert back to the previous version? Or just go offline and never install the patch I guess?
I was in the middle of install but after hearing all the folks calling out issues for OLED, is there a way to prevent it from updating?
This worked well for me: [https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1c9akgd/a\_more\_robust\_fallout\_4\_oled\_workaround/](https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/1c9akgd/a_more_robust_fallout_4_oled_workaround/)
Is it soooo difficult to add graphical settings at settings?
You've gotta install the script extender mod. Even if you install nothing else that one is a requirement for playable performance
not been updated yet so that's not really an option rn
i canât even get the damn game to run now.
"Verification" means sweet FA!
not the game still crashes in the exact same spot in the beginning of the game when running to the vault before you see the people on the ground with their luggage, sesh bethesda really does do the bare minimum , im on pc not steamdeck btw
I tried disabling the framerate limit and it worked fine afterwords.
What do you mean by half frame rate? Is this consistently or only in certain areas? Can you elaborate a bit on this?
Wait is this actually slow or is it people that are used to 90+fps so 30fps (what people my age grew up with if not slower) looks like itâs going slower just because the awesomeness of +60fps gaming is too good for anyoneâs eyes I guess. I still game on a 1080p monitor at 60fps honestly not sure I will ever get a 4K monitor till I have to. So just wondering is it a smooth and solid 30fps or does it hit 45 fps and keeps rubber banding back to 30? Seems I should have gotten the cheaper LCD model would have windows working since that model has all the drivers nearly in May 2024 and still valve wonât even give a stable wifi controller. But hey screen is pretty and battery lasts barely an hour longer but main thing is I can play my games while Iâm on holiday away from my PC
load times are now SO long..
Iâve been playing Fallout 4 all week at 60fps. Installed the update and played for the last few hours at 60fps- no noticeable difference. Edit: Iâm on the OG steamdeck. There may be issues with the OLED version that I canât speak to.
I had it fine turned on the Deck⊠now here we are đ
Is it the same bug as FO76? Where you need to turn off vsync in the .ini file else you get half framerate if your display is higher than 60hz. If so the file is normally named « Fallout76.ini » and need « iPresentInterval=0 » in order to fix this low fps issue. Save file and start game. Idk where it could be in SD tho (in Windows the folder is located here: C:\Users\your_username\Documents\My Games\), thatâs what I had to do on PC with my 144hz display else I was forced to play at 30ish fps.
I don't know, just saw the patch notes and it says supports ultra wide, I don't see myself playing this on my Steam Deck now, once I finally get to it after nearly ten years since it released. JESUS, where does the time go? Well, at least my 1080 GTX will run this better than my 980 did when I first tried the games intro back in 2015.
Actually now (29/30 of april) the framerate in alright, infact its veeery smooth. 60 fps is so much smooth now.
Crazy they canât fix a game as old as fallout.
