New Vegas has suddenly started running slowly

[delta9857]

EDIT: Well, I feel like an idiot, turns out that the problem was being caused by a backup program that I recently installed running in the background automatically. Pausing the process fixed the problem completely!

 

Hi everyone,

 

So recently I have noticed FNV has started running slower and slower. It usually takes quite a long time (a good 30-40 seconds) just to get to the main menu, and then loading a save takes ages too. I've posted my specs below; I have a fairly decent rig and haven't had any problems until very recently. I thought it might be the latest nVidia drivers so I uninstalled them and reverted to 331.58 but that doesn't seem to have made any difference. I also uninstalled a few of the mods that I thought might be causing it (NV Restoration etc) but that hasn't solved the long menu load times.

 

I am also playing with the 4GB launcher for NVSE and NV Stutter Remover.

 

If anyone has any suggestions or needs any more information please let me know. Also, I wasn't sure what the best way to post my load order was so I just used the plain text output of BOSS.

 

Thanks, delta.

I'd suggest you uninstall mods you do not use. It is bad (potentially unstable) to have a load order over 120. It is essential to not have one over 140.

You are WAY over 140, but I don't know where you are at on the 'active' ones. I am not sure how hard and fast the 140 limit is with regards to inactive mods, but I do know that inactive still play a role in game stability but just not as big a role.

XFO, for example, has 69 entries and it seems you are using none of them. Uninstall it. I'd recommend uninstalling XFO no matter what. It just pollutes the load order. the right way to make such a mod is using MCM.

WMX, change out for WMXUE (drop/throw away all modded weapons carried by you and your NPCs first)

YUP, change out the single files for the 'roll-up' version.

 

Also the YUP author recommends being loaded early in the load order.

 

Maybe use FNVEdit to create a merge patch would help also.

Yeah I'll get the main YUP version. I originally installed it before I got all the DLCs (got the in the steam sale yesterday) and forgot there was a DLC version. What do you mean about using MCM for the XFO mods?

It is how XFO should have been made. It is not something you can do yourself unless you are a reasonably skilled mod creator and scripter.

For now, I suggest you just uninstall it. You're not using it.
