Excuse me? Sounds like it's been a while since you had a good look around the dozens of fora around the Nexus where people go out of their way to answer questions to whatever problems that might arise, even when those questions have already been answered over and over again, because, guess what, some people don't look around first before adding their problem to the queue. Saying you haven't found a fix implies you had a look at what the problem might be, like, drivers that are outdated or have been updated and no longer work as they did before. The problem with a lot of... errm... problems is that there can be hundreds of reasons why some of them occur. Giving that the original poster more or less found the solution to his problem (a solution which should be applicable for those that say they have the "same" issue) and that later posters are probably site-hoppers (one post on every available website, posting the same question to never be seen again) there wasn't much reason for most people to go digging into the matter. And of course you know most of us are sleeping next to our desktops to be at the ready with solutions in case someone pops-in with whatever issue... Everybody has the right to ask for help. Nobody has the right to demand help. Seriously? Lol. A lot of words that help nothing and no one in this thread. All you had to do is say "use google and/or search bar here". Or kindly take a few seconds to do it yourself and hastily post something related to the OP post. I know how you feel sometimes,trust me. However, having been here since 2009 registered member and even before that lurking the nexus. I've realized - better not to post at all than post something not helpful. Anyhow; I've had this problem for over a year or more, It's come and gone, there are a bunch of mixed solutions on the internet, which helped many, but others like me still have the stutter and mysterious 'loading icon' next to Audio at start-up. These are some of the solutions posted around: 1.Update to latest video drivers. (do a thorough removal and clean install - google "how to use DDU") 2.Try to move or delete excessive saves in your Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Saves , leave only the last 5 or so. 3.Disable intro movies and/or intro music. 4.Download mod to change main menu video 5.Set "Controller" and "Vibration" in settings>gameplay to "Off" Some people have had luck disabled multithreading settings in their Fallout4\Fallout4.ini Try removing old saves and turning off the Steam Cloud Sync. None worked for me, problem comes and goes over the months...
