Turns out it was THIS stutter remover that was making my game crash almost every time I fast travel or enter towns.

Windows 10 Fall Update broke this mod.

First you'll need: New Vegas Script Extender, New Vegas Anti Crash, RoyBatty's 4GB Patch, and enboost, and setting the enblocal.ini to look like:

Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout new vegas\enblocal.ini :

[MEMORY]
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=true
ReservedMemorySizeMb=1024
VideoMemorySizeMb=10240
EnableCompression=true
AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false

To use ENBooost without having to turn off Anti Aliasing add this to the bottom of your enblocal.ini file:

[GLOBAL]
UseENBoostWithoutGraphics=true

And also using the Sheson memory patch (Google it) in the NVSE .ini file to look like:

steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data\NVSE\nvse_config.ini :

[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=496
scrapheapsizeMB=256

And finally, I am using BOTH the Sheson Memory patch heap replacement as shown above, together with the NVSR heap replacement.
I don't know why it works, but if I only use one or the other I still get crashes around Primm, West Vegas, and other over-modded areas.

Anyone know a fix? This is my Stutter log:
hook_GetTickCount bPreserveDC_Bias=1 Sync=0ms bForceResolution=1 bPreserveHighFreqComponents=0 bPreserveHighFreqComponents=0
replacing libc rand(), srand()
Critical Sections mode 3 (staggered prioritization)
hooking LCS functions (partial hooks, 3, 1000)
used 38 hashtable size overrides
hook point 1: hooking call to main game function
timeBeginPeriod: 0 -> 1
timeEndPeriod: 1 -> 0

A fix for what problem exactly? Whatever it is, a common fix related to your log is to go into the NVSR ini, find the line bHookCriticalSections = 1, and change the value from 1 to 0. It seems that setting can potentially cause problems with newer/modern systems. For more in depth, and probably better settings, check out the next post below by redmaxblower. If you aren't already, you should also be using NVAC and the 4GB patch.

Since this mod has been completely ruined by Windows 10 and will lead to eminent frequent crashes, I would recommend deleting it, uninstalling all your mods, clean installing your entire game and then follow this video.



Basically, the guy shows you how to install his own 4GB Patcher and his custom Fallout INIs. On top of this, you may have to adjust your settings in the NVidia Control Panel (ensure that your gaming driver is selected in the FNV Launcher Options), update your driver via GeForce Experience and also reduce your game resolution as a last resort. However, I would say these are the main options to try as there were many other fixes I had to carry out. I was able to get in touch with the the user who uploaded the video via the comment section and he was willing enough to help run me through getting the game to run smoothly without the stutter remover (you can find my comment easily in that video since it's got like, 28 replies as of now). While it may be an annoying chore, I would recommend taking the time to read our conversation. This guy is such a genius when it comes to gaming performance and he deserves more recognition. So far, I'm able to run the base game with minimal stuttering (even though it is still slightly present, but not on a bothersome level). I'll get round to installing my mods step-by-step without reducing the games current performance and see where that gets me.

I'm a huge fan of Carinth, his ENB hosted on MoDB is the only one I use.

I also use the .ini files he includes with his 4gb patcher; with a few tweaks added from EesArrBee's: "Fear and Loathing in New Vegas" guide.

However, his 4gb patch is a bit cumbersome to use and as soon as I install texture packs and mods like Project Nevada, AWOP, etc. I get crashes.

Glad it works for you though.

- Added a critical sections fix posted by Brad852 on October 1, 2018 , Tested and works. Thanks Brad852!.
- Added fallout.ini and falloutprefs.ini edits to use multi core, I've always used these but thought I'd add them here for anyone who doesn't.
- Set the Stutter Remover bManageFPS = 0 and use my video card's vsync instead as that seems to smooth the framerate much better [not the vsync on the game launcher. as that doesn't seem to work or prevent tearing at all].
- Added the Audio fix recommended by RoyBatty and the TTW team and VariableEagle in a reply below along with a mod recommendation to remove audio distortion even after decompressing and reformatting .ogg files to .wav.
- Glad this helped so many people, and even if it didn't... my game's runnin like butter. heh.

---Original Post---
My NVSR .ini file settings which fixed the windows 10 crashing issue and now runs stable and fairly smooth with only the occasional stutter.
My game is heavily modded (FOOK-PN-WMX-WME-EVE-AWOP Convergence, Warzones, IWS, MoMod, Factions Reloaded, 2K textures etc)
Hope this might help someone suffering crashes like I was before I made the changes.
My Specs: i7 7700k - GTX 1080ti - 16GB RAM - 500GB SSD

First, edit your .ini files in my games\falloutnv\fallout.ini and falloutprefs.ini to read
***** Note - Tale of Two Wastelands does this by default so TTW users can skip this *****
[General]
bUseThreadedAI=1
iNumHWThreads=8

Then you'll need: New Vegas Script Extender, New Vegas Anti Crash, RoyBatty's 4GB Patch, and enboost, and setting the enblocal.ini file located in Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout new vegas\enblocal.ini to look like:
***** Note - Tale of Two Wastelands adds NVSE and the 4GB patch by default so TTW users only need NVAC and enboost *****
[MEMORY]
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=true
ReservedMemorySizeMb=1024
VideoMemorySizeMb=10240 <------------- <Change this variable to reflect your video card's ram>*****************
EnableCompression=true
AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false

To use ENBooost without having to turn off Anti Aliasing add this to the bottom of your enblocal.ini file:
[GLOBAL]
UseENBoostWithoutGraphics=true

And also using the Sheson memory patch (Google it) in the NVSE .ini file to look like:

steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data\NVSE\nvse_config.ini :
[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=496
scrapheapsizeMB=256

And finally, I am using BOTH the Sheson Memory patch heap replacement as shown above, together with the NVSR heap replacement.
I don't know why it works, but if I only use one or the other I still get crashes around Primm, West Vegas, and other over-modded areas.

Finally... I f you're having audio problemns, edit your .ini file in my games\falloutnv\fallout.ini and falloutprefs.ini, to read:
***** Note - Tale of Two Wastelands does this by default so TTW users can skip this *****
[Audio]
bEnableAudioCache=1
iAudioCacheSize=8192
iMaxSizeForCachedSound=1024

And if you're getting distortion with any sounds even after using RoyBatty's decompressor or installing Tale of Two Wastelands try this mod:
True 3d Sound for Headphones https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/65094
It's not designed to be a fix, but I installed it for the 3D sound and it fixed some crackling voices I had even after a TTW install, and It works for stereo speakers too. Just make sure to change the .ini file it installs in Steam\steamapps\common\fallout new vegas\alsoft.ini to read
[General]
sources=1024

Happy Gaming!

After the FCU update I was able to keep playing with no issues until a week or so ago. After about an hour (sometimes longer if I was lucky), the game crashed with just a small window saying "Out of Memory." These crashes mostly happened whenever something triggered a loading screen like going from an interior to exterior or loading a save, but it got worse. It got to the point where after 3 loading screens, the game would crash on the 4th one with the out of memory error, and started happening when walking around in the wasteland and cells were loading in. That's when I searched for a fix and heard that the Win10 FCU causes problems when using NVSR. I applied your settings and to test it, I fast traveled to several locations and loaded several games, and not a single crash. Now I can get back to playing.

But If I just say f*** this mod and uninstall it my game crashes every 4-6 hours. Sorry just upset over how awful the engine is for new vegas.

Then I upgraded to the 1080Ti and still had crappy performance! I had just assumed that the game had reached its limit with the number of textures I'd installed or it was TTW. I'd messed around with the Fallout Stutter Remover.ini as well. Editing all sorts of values and giving people advice on my own discoveries.

But it was your fix man...like I'm so happy. I can finally play TTW with the 100 something texture mods that I have installed at 60 FPS with ENB!! Thank you so much! Now Im gonna be fooling around with ENB files again! New Vegas lives again!!! :D

redmaxblower wrote: Glad this helps so many people. Just some reminders for some of the issues listed lately...

If you get an infinite loading screen at start up, you are missing a master (.esm) file that is requires by one of your plugin (.esp) files.

If you get a black screen at startup BUT you still have sound. It's a weird bug I experienced with using the 4GB patcher and the latest Enb d3d9.dll.

To Fix this you can do one of two things:

1) Use the d3d9.dll from the Enboost Patch. But this won't allow you to use enb's that change lighting and use effects.

2) Run the game using the NVSE Loader. I've read that some people even rename the NVSE Loader to FalloutNV.exe.

These workarounds aren't perfect, but at least the game will run.

First thing I've noticed is that, while I do still have some rather awful FPS drops and stutters, it may not be from the settings. It could more so simply be from my specs for my PC (Currently running AMD Radeon RX 580 8gb, Intel i5-2400 without it being overclocked, and then 8gb RAM). However what I have noticed is, and maybe this is thanks to your settings, or maybe it's simply with the way I've modded this, is that the game DOES run stable. I've streamed for about three and a half hours yesterday, without one crash. There was one minor bug (the Bison Hotel texture kind of f***ed up on me and made me unable to really continue that area), but overall it was playable. Stable and playable to me is better than smooth FPS.

If you quit from the main menu title theres a 50% chance of getting a black screen that you cant alt tab or anything.

Anyways im gona keep testing hopefully it works.

I'm rather quickly losing confidence and hope that this game will run stable-y and smoothly at the same time. Has anyone used RoyBatty's TTW Performance Guide and used these settings? Did you manage to make it work? Because for me, well, nothing seems to really work. Everything to me seems like having the reverse effect. It seems to make the game act and behave much worse.

I cannot overstate how grateful I am for your tweak, and for anyone wondering if it works and if it's worth it, yes and hell yes.

First you'll need: New Vegas Script Extender, New Vegas Anti Crash, RoyBatty's 4GB Patch, and enboost, and setting the enblocal.ini to look like:

Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout new vegas\enblocal.ini :

[MEMORY]
ExpandSystemMemoryX64=true
ReduceSystemMemoryUsage=true
DisableDriverMemoryManager=false
DisablePreloadToVRAM=false
EnableUnsafeMemoryHacks=true
ReservedMemorySizeMb=1024
VideoMemorySizeMb=10240
EnableCompression=true
AutodetectVideoMemorySize=false

To use ENBooost without having to turn off Anti Aliasing add this to the bottom of your enblocal.ini file:

[GLOBAL]
UseENBoostWithoutGraphics=true

And also using the Sheson memory patch (Google it) in the NVSE .ini file to look like:

steam\steamapps\common\Fallout New Vegas\Data\NVSE\nvse_config.ini :

[Memory]
DefaultHeapInitialAllocMB=496
scrapheapsizeMB=256

And finally, I am using BOTH the Sheson Memory patch heap replacement as shown above, together with the NVSR heap replacement.
I don't know why it works, but if I only use one or the other I still get crashes around Primm, West Vegas, and other over-modded areas.

After the FCU update I was able to keep playing with no issues until a week or so ago. After about an hour (sometimes longer if I was lucky), the game crashed with just a small window saying "Out of Memory." These crashes mostly happened whenever something triggered a loading screen like going from an interior to exterior or loading a save, but it got worse. It got to the point where after 3 loading screens, the game would crash on the 4th one with the out of memory error, and started happening when walking around in the wasteland and cells were loading in. That's when I searched for a fix and heard that the Win10 FCU causes problems when using NVSR. I applied your settings and to test it, I fast traveled to several locations and loaded several games, and not a single crash. Now I can get back to playing.

But If I just say f*** this mod and uninstall it my game crashes every 4-6 hours. Sorry just upset over how awful the engine is for new vegas.

Then I upgraded to the 1080Ti and still had crappy performance! I had just assumed that the game had reached its limit with the number of textures I'd installed or it was TTW. I'd messed around with the Fallout Stutter Remover.ini as well. Editing all sorts of values and giving people advice on my own discoveries.

But it was your fix man...like I'm so happy. I can finally play TTW with the 100 something texture mods that I have installed at 60 FPS with ENB!! Thank you so much! Now Im gonna be fooling around with ENB files again! New Vegas lives again!!! :D

redmaxblower wrote: Glad this helps so many people. Just some reminders for some of the issues listed lately...

If you get an infinite loading screen at start up, you are missing a master (.esm) file that is requires by one of your plugin (.esp) files.

If you get a black screen at startup BUT you still have sound. It's a weird bug I experienced with using the 4GB patcher and the latest Enb d3d9.dll.

To Fix this you can do one of two things:

1) Use the d3d9.dll from the Enboost Patch. But this won't allow you to use enb's that change lighting and use effects.

2) Run the game using the NVSE Loader. I've read that some people even rename the NVSE Loader to FalloutNV.exe.

These workarounds aren't perfect, but at least the game will run.

First thing I've noticed is that, while I do still have some rather awful FPS drops and stutters, it may not be from the settings. It could more so simply be from my specs for my PC (Currently running AMD Radeon RX 580 8gb, Intel i5-2400 without it being overclocked, and then 8gb RAM). However what I have noticed is, and maybe this is thanks to your settings, or maybe it's simply with the way I've modded this, is that the game DOES run stable. I've streamed for about three and a half hours yesterday, without one crash. There was one minor bug (the Bison Hotel texture kind of f***ed up on me and made me unable to really continue that area), but overall it was playable. Stable and playable to me is better than smooth FPS.

That's to be expected with increasing multiple heap allocations. Try changing the following in your FalloutPrefs.ini
 

bEnableAudioCache=1
iAudioCacheSize=8192
iMaxSizeForCachedSound=1024

I don't know what your specs are but if those cache sizes are too much, try halving them.

Anyone else having their post count go down every day they come to the site? Irrelevant I know but it has been bugging me.

Cheers :)

BakumatsuX wrote: Your sugestions worked like a charm. Thank you. Just one thing: if I try to load more than two times a saved game, suddenly I lose the effects sounds. And if I try to quit to the main menu to solve the bug, the game enters into a infinite loading screen. Any suggestions?

I been having this issue two, more the once, i load a save file, it loads LONGER then usual and then audio is gone, if you quit to main menu, it stuck on infinite load.
I never noticed that it happens if you load a bunch of times in a raw..
Ill try to remove NVSR and play the game in windowed-fullscreeen Windows 10 mode that forces VSYNC and triple buffering and see how it goes

Hope that helps.

Are you married? Seriously you just resurrected my favorite game from the ashes of windows 10. Much thanks!
