    The result? Fallout 4 has turned out to be the most stable Bethesda game I have ever played. I have logged almost 200 hours of game play, and I have not experienced one single CTD. I have 32 mods installed via NMM, organize with LOOT, launch with F4SE, and run the game with ultra settings. I installed the beta patch (now out of beta) when it was first made available. The patch improved game play and graphics and was never a problem.

    Thank you, Bethesda, for such a stable and fun game.

Still 54 .esp mods installed (incl. several that add items to build menu and many texture mods) and an unknown amount of non-esp mods.

    No idea what mod caused it, or what ini setting. But have leveled twice, have built stuff in settlements, have seen a fair bit of combat and no CDT's all evening.

    CTD's since release are minimal and up till now 100% linked to freshly installed mods, CTD's that vanished right after removing said mods.

It's possible that maybe it's CTD'd once or twice in my 243 hours of play, but those have been exceptions so infrequent that I can't honestly remember if it's happened or not.

    That's not to say i haven't crashed due to mods, cause Lord knows I've crashed repeatedly to mods. But once i get the mod sorted (sometimes deleted), or the nif corrected, it's been bubblegum and lollipops. My only complaint is how the load time goes up when you have more mods installed. Hopefully the patch fixes some of that, but i can't blame the game for mods slowing my load times, because without mods the game loads rather quick.

    I mean he totally could be, but people usually post to report a problem or to complain. Posts to actually praise something are rare. So maybe we should just trust it? I want to backup his claims.

    I have 184 mods installed, run every 4k texture I can find - 4k helps immensely on a 55'' Low latency Sony TV (17ms) - as seen below;

    http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/

    When I first installed this latest patch I got a tonne of CTD's - my first ever with Fallout 4. It soon was discovered that Gore Overhaul was to blame.

    Prior to patch, on everything Ultra I would average about 50fps with a i7 2600k @ 5.0gz, 16gb ram and a GTX980 (Gigabyte G1) - and low fps was around 35-40fps. I had to play with Shadow quality and distance medium and god rays to high to get a smooth 60fps with lowest fps of 58.

    I now play with everything ultra, even the new ambient occlusion and particle effects on ultra and I get 60fps everywhere. I also removed a lot of the old tweaks from my ini files as I feel they were not needed anymore (such as texture loading edits etc). My loading times have improved, albeit by not much - but on average by about 5 to 7 seconds.

    To get the most out of your game I would recommend using vanilla ini files with the new patch and then only edit things you need (fov, camera edits etc) and completely avoid performance ini changes. Don't do the texture load edits, don't add edits to use all threads or thread the different components of the engine. Avoid increasing gridstoload, grass distance, view distances past ultra.

    Don't touch things like bforcesmoothness (which has NOTHING to do with your mouse)...also be careful using things like the Geforce guide to tweaking FO4, as while most of the edits there each only consume 1-5 frames per second, eventually the 8-9 edits they recommend eat up 10-20 fps! The guys who make those tweaks have a gtx980ti as their reference guide - so be wary.

    These edits will only slow down your game - trust me!

    I wish the best of luck to the rest of you - happy gaming!

    Regards,

    Tony

    P.S If you guys have a Nvidia card, try changing max pre rendered frames to 1 and see if that improves any fps, or try a lower setting like 4. Lower settings will help remove stutters but increase input lag.

    Another neat trick that increased some fps for me and eliminated stuttering was playing in fullscreen windowed mode.

    Lastly, try to untick motion blur and see if that helps or not.

    Take care all!

    yeah im careful as well after past beth games and so far no ctds and no issues yet (unless one of beth's patches breaks that :P *touch wood*)

    Anyone had the same issue?


    well i have a heavily modded game on the 1.3 beta and have had 0 issues,0 crashing.

    Needing help, technical computer problems...kinda...

    tbh enb's will punish the graphics,i have a R9 280x 3gb card and even that has my fps outside at 45 fps (thought my game is heavily modded as well),not entirely sure why your having problems with flora mods thought they shouldn't knock off more then 5 fps(maybe slightly more on a laptop),most i saw was a 4 fps loss when i used to use vurts but now im running bigger trees with lush trees and grass i barely notice at difference at all.

     

    have you tried tweaking any of the enb's you've tried,like disabling ambient occlusion etc,as that's what hurts the most when running them.

     

    as for gpu not very familiar with laptop gpu's although the 880m is powerful by laptop standards(fastest laptop gpu iirc) there still not in the same league as desktop gpu's so you might be hard pressed to hit 60 fps,might be able to get around 45 on average with an enb and loads of mods (unless you only run a lightly modded game),maybe someone who knows more about laptop gpu's can answer that question.

    What computer should I get?

    thats depends on the gpu (the 5850 which is ancient) takes a 450w minimum (550w recommended), id say 650w - 750w would be the recommended atleast (got to take into account psu capacitors degrade over time by about 5%) i only went with the 850w as that leaves plenty of room for upgrades/ possibility of Xfire.

     

    do you really need 16gb of ram,true if u can afford it go for it but alittle overkill at the mo,id go with 8gb and put the money saved towards a ssd or hdd upgrade (you can get 3-4tb cheap enough these days)

    depends on what intel processor if you dont overclock id say i5 4430,if you over clock id say either the i5 3570k if you dont want to spend too much on a processor or if your willing to spend the cash the i5 4690k

    until i installed seasons of skyrim (to be expected as seasons of skyrim is a killer but looks amazing) my fps never dipped below 50,but my game is heavily modded now so i only get 45 fps outside 60 in interiors (texture pack covers 95% of skyrim lol) now so ive had to optimise all textures that are safe to optimise,i run project optimisation,unofficial skyrim and dlc patch's,tweaked my ini's as there is a drop off point where increasing the settings has little visual effect (just dont ever tweak papyrus settings as it does more harm then good) ive also cleaned the skyrim esps using tes5edit (always back them up any esps you intend of cleaning),i also use skse memory patch so i never see sudden fps drops at all.

     

    haha yeah most of Bethesda's games its always the shadows that cause problems (atleast from experience)

     

    this is the guide i use for ini tweaking,you dont have to follow the guide strictly,if you dont wait to change a setting (or feel you got it perfect already just move on to the next one.)

    valkasha is right about no difference between high and ultra but still somethings up,you shouldn't be getting fps that low,i cant say what amd processor's are like as i have a intel i5 2500k, amd R9 280x with an extremely heavily modded with seasons of skyrim enb and i still see 48fps outside at all times,skyrim is a very cpu dependant game (much more then gpu,unless you mod),have you tried cutting your skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini to desktop and getting the game to re-make the ini's?

    hey bradley welcome to the nexus,glad your enjoying skyrim on the pc,i did the same thing as you (had skyrim on 360 got bored decided to get skyrim on pc and have been loving it 100x more then i ever did on 360)

     

    i have that exact gpu and the thing is beast :smile: (thought i have the i5 2500k proccessor)

     

    i actually posted some essential mods over on this thread http://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/2170654-new-member-greetings-as-well-as-seeking-for-advice/

    that would be a good start (natually im running a lot more (like 100 mods stably) but that should point you in the right direction)

    hope that atleast helps.

    Thanks for the suggestions! I really have no Idea about processors, so i don't even know if mine is good xD

     

    the processor itself is decent enough but from what ive heard the fan that comes with it isnt that great (im not too familiar with amd as i prefer intel for processors and amd for gpu)

    you should be able to install smim (with very little impact) but if you dont have a great gpu def avoid 2k hd textures,the little things like cloud etc have no impact what so ever,realistic water 2 has minimal impact (a few fps at most)

    if you play female characters then the best hair and face textures are without a doubt Sg's hair and SG;s face textures by hello santa.

    hey welcome to the nexus :)

     

    for mods id say some of the ones i always play skyrim with would be

    realistic water 2,

    enhanced light and fx

    skyrim immersive creatures (adds loads of new mobs to fight as its pretty boring in the wilds)

    organised bandits in skyrim (not for the faint of hearted,had my ass handed to me on many occasions xD)

    duel combat hardcore edtion (thought any of the duel combat version is fine)

    apocalypse spells for magic casters (forgotten magic is also worth a look)

    skyrim UI

    skse (not a mod per say but allows mods to do things they couldnt without it)

    bigger trees,lush trees and grass

    unique grasses and ground covers

    skyrim 2k HD

    HD 2k ivy

    smim (essential imho)

    interesting npcs (you already have that :) )

    vilja (best companion ever!)

    immersive armors

    unofficial skyrim patch (also grab the unofficial dlc patches and they all fix a crap ton of bugs left in the game)

    deadly dragons (must have as dragons are weak as hell without this,has defualt skyrim settings so you will have to tweak this your self)

    any house by Elianora as she does simply the best houses on nexus (beats even the official dlc hearthfire) http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/3231858/?tb=mods&pUp=1 link to find her houses

    IPM - More Realistic Potions and Poisons Sizes (definitely this,makes potion bottles more realistically sized instead of 4L bottles)

    skygazers moons are byfar the best

    this mod for snow (by far the best snow on nexus http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/49011/?

    bryce nebula galaxy replacer (best imho)

    http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/users/2141127/?tb=mods&pUp=1 RaiserFx's beauty of skyrim mods are definitely the best dungeon-caves-mines textures around.

    design of the nords for flags http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/13429/?

    Gamwich clouds http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/56279/? (most realistic and best clouds ive used)

     

     

    thats a small list of some of the best ones around,your choice which you use/dont use,just pointing you in the right direction,hope you enjoy skyrim as much as i have :)

    Help with CTD due to ENB!

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted · Edited by Phoenix_1982

    ok 1) sorry about long reply was playing FF14 arr,

    2) except EFF i use the exact same mods as you (thought my mod list has like 100 mods) so its not the mods you use

    3) camaro is right dont use more then one enb preset,i myself use seasons of skyrim as ive tried all of them and found its the best though thats down to you which to use,thought get rid of the project enb climates of tamriel as thats for climates of tamriel weather mod which your not using so thats gonna cause issues.

    id recommend deleting all files where your skyrim.exe is and verifiying your cache,once thats done install enb,then manually install your preset (reason i say manual as nmm has been know to install it wrong) its really not hard just extract archive of your choosen enb preset to desktop and simply copy paste all files in to the folder where your skyrim.exe is.

     

    the system tray is the up arrow located near your clock on your windows bar,dont disable anything thats required like sound,graphics,keyboard,mouse drivers.

    any skyrim enb after 0.236 doesn't work

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted

    tbh ive never seen the issues your having when using enb 262 with seasons of skyrim,the only reason i changed back to 236 was seasons of skyrim enb was made for that version plus i noticed certain effects not working as intended,personally id say change back to whatever version the enb you use is made for.

    Skyrim Combat?

    in Skyrim LE

    Posted

    for combat duel combat definitely,for magic i just use apocalypse as thats the best magic mod imho (forgotten magic is also worth using/looking at,very nicely made),i also use mighty magics dual casting module and spell scale.
