moriartykain Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 This is not a problem I am having. (Well it is, but its not something I think anyone can help with) This is more of a announcement to something I have discovered! We all know about the fallout 4 stuttering.If you have not had it you most likely know someone who has.And there is a hundred thousand pages and posts about how to fix it.. But thanks to a friend of mine, who helps me with some modding stuff.We have found that... Malwarebytes sometimes makes fallout 4 stutter! Now before you go uninstalling anything, remember that Malwarebytes may not be the reason why you get stuttering! It is also a good bit of software to have. If you have it, and a stutter, there is a simple test and solution to the problem. Disable self-protection option in the startup setting of Malwarebytes. This will not disable the program but it will hopefully stop the stuttering, and is the best way to test if it was the problem. If you find that this was the reason, I would not uninstall Malwarebytes.It really is a good program. Just turn off self-protection when you play and back on after you have finished!! Well thats all I have to say, but do reply to this if it helps you! Good luck and may the force be with you. Always. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark47 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Not just Malwarebytes, but all anti-malware, anti-virus programs. Might not hurt to go off-line when playing also. Hell, when I play Fallout 4, I shut down almost everything else. (Well, the non-essential things anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabbit1251 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I don't know. I use Malwarebytes and Fallout 4 and I have not run across any issues as yet. The Rabbit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AGreatWeight Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 (edited) Any program/s running in the background whilst you play has the potential to cause your game to stutter or affect performance if they are hogging enough system resources. Not just anti-virus or anti-malware, game overlays like Steam and even Nvidia software have been known to affect things. Best to turn off as much un-necessary software as possible whilst gaming.Somewhere in the forums, I'm sure I saw a post that had a list of every background app that can cause problems with performance, but can't recall where that post is now.
