Severe random framerate drops

[Tulaketh]

Hi folks,

 

I recently tried to start playing Fallout 4 again but for some reason I am getting random drops in my frame rate. These drops can drop me down to literally 4 fps. I have looked on the net for fixes and to to find out what to do. I have disabled vsync & capped the framerate to 60fps, lowered my settings (I previously had most setting on ultra with no issues) nothing has helped & I can't see if any of my mods are responsable. So I have come here hoping someone with a greater understanding of this stuff can see something I am missing.

 

My pc specs are as follows;

it could be Raider Overhaul

Those random frame drop are related to super mutant overhaul and raider overhaul.

I've made a replacement esp for Raider Overhaul, its in the installer of my Better Locational Damage mod. It fixes the frame drops. I haven't fixed Super Mutant Overhaul yet. Probably doing it some day....

Hi, I decided to remove raider overhalu and super mutant redux but nothing has changed. I am still getting really bad random frame drops. Most of the time it occurs during combat, but not limited to it. One question, I can see th last main patch for pc was released in November 2016. Do mods for Fallout 4 need to be updated after a patch?

DLCUltraHighResolution.esm has been known to cause a few problems. I stopped playing a few months back, Don't Call Me Settler messed up my game, but it was still playable. Then I followed a quest into Nuka World and I had chronic stuttering and frame rate drops. When I left Nuka World, my previously smooth game was awful with stuttering and frame drops in the main game as well.

true. Its totally not worth it. Its better to use http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3747/?

Quality is much better. the HighResDLC is an overkill
