Re-asking here since no one visits the Fallout 4 PC board anymore I just changed my gpu to a GTX 1060, then updated the nvidia drivers. When I started up the FO4 launcher, it says couldn't detect my card & dropped the graphical settings down to lowest.

Comment on the appropriate page if you have a tip to share with other readers.Fallout 4 Stealth The Detection Meter and Sneak Mechanics Utilizing stealth in Fallout 4 can prevent enemies from detecting you.Sneaking is a handy ability in Fallout 4, whether you're playing a Sniper, short-ranged character, or getting up close in Melee. In all of these circumstances, you are able to move closer to your effective range before the enemy detects you. What causes them to detect you and the way the meter works seems to be a point of interest for new players, so I'll explain how some of this works to help you be a bit more successful.The Purpose of SneakingWhen you're crouched, you'll see 'Hidden'.

This means you're sneaking. You can use this to pickpocket enemies when behind them, steal items lying around without anyone noticing (just don't make noise!). You may want to avoid battles, or pick off enemies one by one from a distance and be a sneaky sniper. The game's AI will never catch you, though this method can take some time and it's not as useful when you're inside a building.
Sneak attacks and critical hits stack for massive damage, so you can save these for super-long range kills on powerful enemies - or just to sofen up a tough one.Sneak AttacksSneak attacks deal double damage to enemies, but only if they haven't detected you. You're guaranteed to do double damage if you hit when the Stealth indicator is still green. I have seen a sneak attack occur at red, and now theorize that it has to be on its way back to hidden in order for the sneak attack to work at that point, or else that one opponent has called off their search. Your results may vary, and my memory may be tained. 100s of hours of play, ya know?Sneak Attacks aren't just for gun users - Players who build up a high level of sneak skill and use melee weapons can do incredible things with the Blitz Perk in the Agility tree - it lets them engage at great distances - between that of a sniper rifle and handgun, while the Ninja Perk will increase the Sneak Attack damage for both guns and melee users - heavily favoring Melee because of how hard it's supposed to be to sneak up close with a super-sledge. Not at all, with Blitz!While Sneak Attacks won't multiply with your, Crits can be used to ensure that a sneak attack will land and make the damage reliable when you need it to be and have a poor chance to hit. The Detection Meter Explained: Getting DetectedThis is best done graphically, so you can understand how the detection indicator works.
The meter - indicated by brackets - grows outward, then collapses inward as you near detection: Hidden, nothing detects you at all. You're beginning the path to detection.
At this stage, something is very close to being suspicious you are there. Now we've hit caution.
An enemy is looking for us and will appear on our compass. You'll note the brackets are in a similar location - they begin to collapse in on the word Caution. As they collapse inward, the enemy grows closer to detecting us. Extreme risk of detection. Staying still may help avoid detection, if it's dark. Combat has been initiated - we've been found and every enemy within range now knows our location.It goes in reverse as you flee, then initiate sneak again. If you kill all enemies it can go straight back to hidden:What Non-Perk Factors Affect Stealth Detection?
Playing Sniper means getting into a good position, and sometimes it means you have to get close because of obstacles. Learning to sneak well will help you with this.Daylight, Spotlights and Room Light.
Even the best sneak builds will have trouble in daylight or spotlights - there is a reason for those annoying spotlights in some areas, and lights pointed straight down tunnels that are unavoidable. Many of these, you can't shoot out although sometimes you can use a terminal to disable them. In general, the darker an area the better your stealth will work.
Some Armor modifications greatly impact the ability to stay stealthy in dark areas. Note that your Pip-boy's light is far from a spotlight in terms of brightness, but it DOES affect stealth - so shut it off!Armor Weight - This is a big factor, but only for when you are moving. It matters even with the lightest gear, though you can minimize the impact by moving slowly (Caps Lock on PC) (whatever moves you slow on console!). Using Ultra-light build mods on your armor will reduce total armor weight, while also giving you extra AP.

Choose between this and sneaking better in darkness. I like the AP.Noise - Like above, gunshots without silencers/suppressors will make a lot of noise, and alert others to your presence.
If playing a sniper, try to shoot the nearest enemy, so that when their friends come looking they are outside range to fully detect you. Guards will only look so far before they decide it's just the Jet giving them jitters.Line of Sight - Coming up from behind is good, though some guards patrol. Watching their patrol routes can help you to sneak past them.Dead Bodies - These seem to put human opponents on edge a bit when they discover them - they'll remark that they have trouble, and it feels like it's easier to get detected afterward. Just my experience, may not be true - could just be dialog.Perception - The Culminating Factor - All of these contribute based on the Perception of the enemy you're sneaking up on.
They may have better hearing and vision, or even sense of smell as with the Wasteland's wildlife. Certain foes have horrible perception, like Ghouls. Others, like Deathclaws - and even worse - Yao Guai, have very high perception. Human opponents that you encounter when your level rises - the harder ones - will have higher perception than a basic raider.
Their senses are generally not as in tune as that of beasts, but they tend to be more intelligent and patrol. Boosting StealthThere are three main ways to boost your ability to Sneak.
Higher agililty directly affects the sneaking ability of your character. They're more light-footed and the higher this stat, the more they'll get out of other boosts.Second, Perks and Covert Ops Magazines - Namely the, which gives you +20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% reduced chance of detection the further you take it. In combination with light armor, this can make a massive difference. At the fourth rank, you do not need to move slowly - note the distinction between running and sprinting which drains AP. You do not need to tip-toe with Rank 4 of Sneak.

Heavy hitter and fast-firing Comparison - two guns from the same base. I think what gets folks is that light plays more of a role then it did in Skyrim sneaking.If you're a stealth character and want to leverage it to full advantage, you essentially have to reverse your day/night sleep cycle. Sleep during the day, skulk around at night.Using items that highlight npc's is also very useful.Power armor helmet with npc highlighting (makes all characters, friend or foe, even robots, glow red)Berry mentats that make everything glow.This stuff used at night makes it feel like you're practically cheating.Go to your location of operation at night, pop some berry mentats, then sneak around and snipe (or back stab).You just have to become a night owl. I’m sure you worked this out long ago now but you mentioned that if the sneak status bar goes red you occasionally still get a sneak multiplier on the shot but haven’t worked out the pattern.In my own experience a sneak hit should still apply during Caution as at this point you are still undetected. They know something isn’t right but they haven’t actually detected you yet.I’ll quite often get the sneak attack just as they go in to caution mode right before they spot you. I.e they are looking in your direction.If you have a clear shot, as soon as the status changes the caution that’s the time I’ll instantly go into VATS and provided you don’t take too long in VATS you should still score your sneak multiplier. You're right that it is worded pretty badly, mainly because it doesn't point out you're not getting to keep the +20, +30 and +40 when you level up the perk.
You have the bonus of your current level and that is all. It's coincidental they go over 100 when added.From the manual for the G.E.C.K. We know there are multiple parts to the huge formula that goes into detection.
Your own sneak value gets larger and makes it harder for even high perception enemies to find you. The formula itself is too dense for a page like this, just because of all the factors like in-game distance and the light levels (which to us is imprecise and hard to gauge).The sneak perk ranks themselves do not add up, but give you a bonus that stacks with agility among other things. So when you have +50% to sneak, gear bonuses, high agility and covert ops you're going to have (probably ) double the sneak score and thus can get a lot closer before an enemy can detect you.
So instead of a 17 you get a 34, meaning you'd have to be substantially closer to be detected.So I did not mean a 100% reduction in chance of detection but adding all the bonuses may result in a much larger score (as I think the% boost from sneak should play off the character's current agility).The creation kit wasn't out (or I didn't yet know how to use it) back when I wrote this so I wasn't sure of exact values due to the complexity of the formula for detection. Covert ops manuals lower the impact of movement on detection by 4% each, a bonus that is additive. This is different from the high rank sneak perk (4), which eliminates the noise from moving faster while sneaking.
So both help.In case someone wants to see the actual formula, it is here.
