Game Profiles (v1.10)
This page is for v1.10. If you're looking for the latest, click here.
"Game profiles" sound more fancy than they really are. They allow you to manage multiple game installations more easily and tailor settings to your needs.
Game profiles determine...
- which *.ini files are edited,
- where mods are installed,
- and how the game is launched.
To edit or select a different profile, click on the game edition icon in the lower left corner:
Then this window will appear:
From here, you can click on a profile on the left (under "Game") to select it.
Click on "Add game":
You can rename or remove profiles by right-clicking on them:
When you select a profile, you can edit the settings on the right.
Here's a description of what the options do:
| Group | Option | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Game edition | Game edition | This is basically a preset. It changes the icon that's displayed, the *.ini prefix, executable, and launch URL. |
| Game location | Game location | Points to where the game is installed (same folder where the *.exe file is). Required if you want to start the *.exe or install mods. |
| Launch options | Launch via Steam / Xbox | This will start the game as if you click on "Play" in Steam or the Xbox App. |
| Launch options | Run "Fallout76.exe" directly | This will start the game as if you double-click the Fallout76.exe. Doesn't work with the Xbox edition. |
| Advanced | *.ini prefix | Prefix of the *.ini files. Default would be "Fallout76" or "Project76". The tool uses this to locate the *.ini files: "{prefix}.ini", "{prefix}Prefs.ini", and "{prefix}Custom.ini" |
| Advanced | Executable | The name of the executable. Default would be "Fallout76.exe" or "Project76_GamePass.exe". |
| Advanced | Parameters | When you set the launch option to run the executable directly, it will pass these parameters to it. Default: Empty |
| Advanced | Launch URL | When you set the launch option to use Steam / Xbox, it will open this link. Example: "steam://run/1151340" |
Also, if the *.ini files don't already exist, then the tool will create them.
