Good stuff. Hopefully will be in good shape in a few months once I have completed Baldurs Gate 3 and Wasteland 3

 

[neojay]

I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as ive never played this game.... will I actually play it this time around? Probably not but installing mods is fun haha

 

[Coolasmoo]

Nice one @Neil79 will keep an eye or three on this

Not to deny anyone their "fun", but for the rest of us we now live in a post-Wabbajack world and can leave that kind of "fun" to the modlist authors

 

[Neil79]

First change that needs to be made if widescreen isn't working ( Native is broken )

bBorderless=1

 

[Neil79]

If you have Geforce Experience, or the Nvidia App... Use the sharpen filter as the game is a little blurry!

 

[loftie]

Has it always been blurry? Or have they added 'something' in their improvement?

 

[OpenToSuggestions]

I cannot seem to get it to work 3840 x 1600.
If I do the .ini fix mentioned here then the main aim cursor and cutscenes are all wonky and off centre.

me neither but struggling at the moment for a game to play.

will give it a go i think.

 

[Cully]

@Neil79 nice ill keep an eye in here but first off we need to get F4SE working, its in the works but not ETA.

 

[kola]

Is F4SE required for all mods because I've got a few texture mods but haven't noticed any difference, is it because of F4SE ?

Scripting Extension should not be required for texture mods.
Even games which make it hard to do mods (aka those where the developer does not rely on the modding community to fix almost all their bugs!), generally have texture mods.

Might want to post the mods in the first post as well, since if this grow the half size of the Skyrim mod thread, it be a pain to find all mod suggestions ??

Temped to play this rather than Baldurs Gate 3 which I fear if I start and get into I won't be able to stop until I am done and will be with it until Xmas
