Many players are faced with one problem in the game Fallout 4: you can not see the lock and the pin when breaking. This is a rather unpleasant situation, because if you do not open some doors, then it is impossible to continue the adventure. This small guide will tell you how to fix this error.
How it works?
Before understanding why Fallout 4 doesn’t show a lock and a pin, let's recall how a hack occurs in a game. Opening a lock for an experienced player has always been an easy task. Especially if you upgrade the skill "Locksmith". For hacking, you must have at least one master key, which can be found both at merchants, and during a search of different boxes. Now proceed to the hack itself. The essence of this mini-game is simple - you need to correctly select the position of the master key with the mouse, and use the A and D keys to turn the screwdriver. If everything is done correctly, then the lock starts to scroll. If he does not move and the hairpin starts to tremble, then her position was chosen incorrectly. Move it a little left or right until you select the desired position. The closer you get to the correct position of the stud, the more the screwdriver will turn. At the same time, remember that with strong pressure, the master key can be broken. So be careful.
Since the whole process of hacking should take place before your eyes, it is impossible to open the lock if the lock and the studs are not visible. You will learn more about how to fix this problem.
Game settings
The easiest way is to go to the game configuration. Here you need to fix the screen resolution. The best option will be 1280x800. It is also necessary to set the aspect ratio of 16 to 9. The quality of the image from this, of course, will significantly deteriorate. But you can go through the hacking mission on these settings, and then continue the game at a different resolution.
Known solutions if you can't see the castle in Fallout 4
If changing the resolution in the game did not help, then you can try to fix the problem by changing the configuration parameters. To do this, owners of non-standard monitors must open the "My Documents" folder. Now go to the My games section and open the Fallout 4 section. Next, look for a file called Fallout4Prefs.ini here. Find the following lines here:
Now you need to enter the desired resolution after the “=” symbol, where W are the parameters of the width of the monitor, H is the height. After these steps, the problem in Fallout 4 (the lock and the pin is not visible) should disappear.
Video card error correction
Later in our review, we will tell you how to get this situation out to the owners of square monitors. In this case, the problem is that the picture is too stretched at standard screen resolution. In addition, this error is reflected in the incorrect display of power armor. You will need to make the game run in widescreen resolution. The best solution would be 1280x800.
How to do it? Go to the Control Panel and find the Nvidia settings. Now find the file “Display” and in it the folder “Size Adjustment”. Most likely, there you will find the entry “Do not perform scaling”. Now you need to scale by selecting the “format” and put a confirmation in the “Substitution” column. After such actions, the problem (with the fact that the lock and the pin is not visible in Fallout 4) should be solved.
Game fixes
If the previous methods did not help you or you do not want to delve into the system for any reason, then special fixes or mods will help to fix the problem. But keep in mind that downloading such content is only necessary from trusted sites. Otherwise, your problem is why the castle and the Fallout 4 pin are not visible, and its corrections can result in big trouble.
