FO3 Random "stable" crash & weird speed bug

[roycer113]

Firstly here are my specs

 

64-bit, Windows 8.1

Intel Core i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz 3.40GHz

8.00 GB RAM

AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series

 

Game settings mostly on Ultra except Shadows and also any settings that conflict with ENB are turned off

 

So basically I'm running a good amount of mods that I have tried my best to follow all instructions on each separate mod page. My game runs very stable, usually around 50fps, and my rig is more than adequate for what I am trying to run. However I get random crashes that seem unrelated to performance while in the wasteland.

 

I have also noticed a weird bug that I don't know the cause of but happens consistently, either the speed of the game slows down or my character's animations (or both? its very peculiar)

 

I am running latest FOSE and use Fallout Mod Manager, and have Archive Invalidation enabled and 4gb patch. Also I am using the stutter remover plugin for FOSE and installed CASM

 

I am also running with Blackout ENB revamped (it works fine w/ more features, chose it because it is actually more stable than standard Blackout which was also crashing)

-Using ambient occlusion, DoF, etc. just no detailed shadows or bloom, and my FPS sits around 49-50. Also deleted rendererinfo and recreated through official launcher after installing

 

This is all on a fairly fresh install and a new save game, no autosaving or quicksaving. I did the alternate start in FWE if that helps

 

Before I give load order here are some mods that aren't shown within it

I assume its either an unrecognized mod(though none of them are even major) conflicting, my load order is screwed up or there is something I haven't done

Thank you in advance should you help me troubleshoot the issues

Did you do the .ini change to limit your CPU to two cores?

 

Have you followed any guide regarding installing Fallout 3 on Windows 8? http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/1465357-installing-fallout-3-with-windows-78-and-xp/
