If I remember well:
I used the arrow keys to flip the pages.
I made my selection on the last page using the mouse.
I use a key (A ?) to exit the book...

If you can't get through with this information, I could try back in the game...

I would like to contribute that I've tested the game extensively* on 2560x1600 and it plays wonderfully. The resolution was supported by the out-of-the-box version, and I noticed no glitches or anything.

*: read "loved and played the game until my fingers felt numb"

I apologize for bumping this, but have been trying to play this again and one or two more issues.

Firstly, manually increasing the resolution to 6060x1080 has worked perfectly via the "isize=" line in fallout.ini and the fov is correct thanks to altering "fdefaultfov=" to 145.

These settings caused a few issues though...

1. HUD was not centered.
2. PipBoy could not be read due to blurriness
3. Terminals are too blurry to be read, and were far too zoomed in to exit.

Issue 1 was solved via editing the "isafe" lines. I found the values below to work well at 6060x1080 (bezel corrected).


Issue 2 was half-solved. I reduced the blurriness by settings "fBlurIntensityPipboy=" and "fBlurRadiusPipboy=" to zero. It is still somewhat difficult to read though, I wonder if there is a way to make it 100% readable. Any ideas?


Issue 3 is also half solved. I managed to get the terminal to be visible in it's entirety on the screen by a simple edit of the "fRenderedTerminalFOV=" line to 0.25. The screen is still quite blurry though, and the cursor doesn't seem to match up to were your clicks actually happen.


I hope some of the above may be useful (in particular being able to adjust the HUD) and maybe someone else can help me fix all these blurry menus.

Anyone having trouble with the game crashing? Sometimes, can occur after 1 minute or 20 but my game always crashes :(
It looks like its freeing but nothing else happens and i have to ctrl + alt + delete because it stops responding. searched somewhat here but dident really find anything like this. Running the Uk version of the game i guess and latest patch :( Anyone else experiencing this?

I've had my share of crashes in the past. Generally patches have resolved most issues, but when that fails I find lowering some settings can reduce the frequency of crashes. If possible, try monitoring your memory usage (such as on a separate monitor) and see if it exceeds your installed memory.

Only other suggestion I can make is that you use quick-save frequently (F5 is the default key I believe).

And if you are using unoffical plugins all bets are off.

This sounds like a known issue from before with the multi-monitor users. You may want to check the F3 threads in that section of the site.
