Fallout 76 is out now worldwide on PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As with most of the recently released games from Bethesda, PC players will have to make some changes to the “.ini” files to improve their overall gameplay experience, and Fallout 76 is no different. However, the way you make changes to the Fallout 76’s “.ini” file is a little different than the previous games that Bethesda has released. In this Fallout 76 PC Error guide, we have listed the changes you have to make in the “.ini” file to Turn off Depth of Field, Adjust FOV, fix blurry graphics issue, and many other things. So let’s get started without wasting any more time.

Fallout 76 PC Error And Fixes

The old process of editing the .ini files includes going to the game’s folder, searching for the .ini file and opening it in NotePad and making the changes. This process is not applicable to Fallout 76. Check out the instruction below on how to make changes to the .ini file in Fallout 76.

  • Step 1: Go to the Fallout 76 Folder – the path/directory should look something like this: /Documents/My Games/Fallout 76.
  • Step 2: Look for a file named: Fallout76prefs.ini, make a copy of it and rename it to Fallout76Custom.ini.
  • Step 3: Delete all the content that is present in “Fallout76Custom.ini”. Once it is empty, open it in NotePad or NotePad++ for editing.

Note: Any changes made to this file will rule any other .ini in that folder.

Add the following text in the Fallout76Custom.ini file
