Zeppelin1996

I've been having a problem recently where my game freezes and becomes unresponsive when I try to tweak any of the ENB settings in game. It doesn't always happen right away and sometimes it happens just by clicking on anything at all in the ENB menu. The only thing that is constant is that I'm in the ENB menu tweaking something when it happens. I've tried verifying my game cache, reinstalling ENB, lowering memory size for ENBoost, and setting my graphics card back to stock frequency. I've run out of ideas as to why this is happening so I'm open to suggestions. System Specs: i5-7600k GTX 1070 16GB RAM m.2 NvME SSD I'm using the Film Workshop ENB, Load Accelerator, and F4SE. I only noticed this problem after I started using Film Workshop, but I also almost never went into the ENB menu until I started using Film Workshop.

You could use the Load Accelerator mod if you are worried about load times, although I think the mod author says it only works with SSDs for some reason. I use it myself. It won't make a massive difference, but I've timed it and it takes about 10 seconds off when loading my saves. The only other thing I could recommend is to move the game onto an SSD if it isn't already on one.

The problem is that you don't have a merged patch in your load order. A merged patch will solve a lot of simple mod conflicts like this one by merging the records of conflicting plugins. You'll need to download FO4Edit to do this. After you install it, you can look up a tutorial on how to create a merged patch. It is pretty simple to do, and essential if you plan to mod your game further.

Make sure that your AWKCR and Armorsmith Extended mods are up to date and nothing is overwriting them. You should just reinstall them to be sure. I had this problem before and this fixed it.

@HeyYou Refresh rate and FPS are NOT the same thing. I play the game with V-sync on so it's already capped to 60 FPS. @RedRocketTV Unfortunately, my monitor does not have G-Sync, but I'll try enabling fast sync when I play the game next. Update: Setting V-Sync to fast in the NVIDIA Control Panel did not help.

I've found the problem. The game hates 144Hz monitors I guess. After lowering my refresh rate down to 60Hz, the game is running fine and actually utilizing my hardware. Does anyone have a way to use 144Hz with this game? Gonna be annoying lowering my refresh rate every time I want to play this game.

What do you mean by I/O load-in?

After a long break from Fallout 4, I booted it up today, only to find that the game was unplayable due to incredibly low fps. I'm getting only 40 fps in the menus and 20 -30 in game regardless of location while the game ran at 50 - 60 fps just 2 months ago and I haven't changed anything. I've already verified my game files, disabled all of my mods through mod organizer, lowered my graphics settings, uninstalled ENB and shadowboost, and even tried launched the game without F4SE. MSI Afterburner shows that both my CPU and GPU have very low usage, no higher than 40%, which explains the bad FPS. For whatever reason, Fallout 4 just isn't utilizing my hardware. All of my other games are working fine. I'm really puzzled as to why this is happening. Any help would be appreciated.

The issue could be with faulty graphics drivers, so you could try doing a clean driver installation. What GPU is in your system?

My point remains. My heavily modded game runs far more smoothly on my SSD than my vanilla game ever did on an HDD. However, you're right about how there is something wrong with the game's engine. The game's optimization is horrible in general. You could try using some optimized texture packs available here on the Nexus if you aren't already. I also find that Fallout 4 runs better in windowed mode rather than in fullscreen mode. What graphical settings are you using? Other than that, the only other thing I can think of is that you may be playing the game on an old savegame. I noticed that the game runs more smoothly on a new save and performance tends to degrade the more you play on that save and the bigger the save file gets.

How heavily modded is your game? It may be stuttering because you are running the game off of an HDD. I had the same problem, but it cleared up after I started running the game off of an SSD. Now my game runs buttery smooth, even with 300+ mods installed.

I had the same issue when I installed my SSD. The problem turned out to be Microsoft OneDrive. The game was reading the .ini files from OneDrive. After I uninstalled OneDrive, everything worked fine.

I never compressed any skin textures, only my landscape and environmental texture packs.

I've found a fix. All I needed was to set "enableunsafememoryhacks" to true in my enblocal.ini since my GPU has over 4GB of VRAM. Nearly cut my RAM usage in half and even decreased my VRAM usage considerably. And no more black textures. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Is there also a limit for system RAM usage? It seems that my RAM usage for Skyrim is significantly higher than my VRAM usage. It exceeds 3GB very often and has even gotten up to 3.5GB. Could this be the problem?

PC Specs: CPU: i5 6402p GPU: AMD RX480 8GB I am having an issue where black textures randomly appear, mostly on female NPCs, trees, and distant LOD. I have several large texture packs installed (Skyrim HD, SFO, Vivid Landscapes, SMIM) along with Realvision ENB and ELFX. I am using both ENBoost and the SKSE memory patch and I've ran all of my texture packs through the Ordenador texture optimizer. I know that the issue is usually related to the 4GB VRAM limit of Skyrim but my I've only ever seen my VRAM usage get up to 2900MB. Besides that, I've seen the black textures pop up when VRAM usage was only at 1700MB, so I don't think VRAM usage is the issue here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Check the files of all of the weapons that are invisible, specifically the meshes. If you're missing any of the files, you'll need to reinstall the your weapon mods that contain the invisible weapons.

What mod are you using? Invisible weapons means you have missing meshes.

Did you edit the Fallout4Prefs.ini? You need to add the line "bEnableFileSelection=1" under the section labeled [Launcher].

OCDecoratorDLC.esp is a merged plugin of both the DLC plugins. There is nothing wrong.

I'm assuming that you're using the Merge Plugins standalone executable. I've tried it as well but had no success getting it to work for Fallout 4. I'd recommend using the Merge Plugins xEdit Script instead as it seems to work fine for me.

You didn't mention using the 4GB Launcher, so that's what I would try next. I had a similar problem a couple of months ago when I first installed mods for New Vegas. That fixed it for me. Hope it helps.

Completely uninstall your drivers via AMD install manager, then install the old one. Not sure for NVIDIA, but it should be a similar process.

For AMD, roll back to driver 16.8.3.

I rolled back to AMD driver 16.8.3, now the game works. Hope this helps someone.
