Sudden FPS drop???

[jolly2807]

Hello, I've been playing FNV for a while now (since release date) and on the Heartache by the Number quest, whilst I was tracking down the attacked caravens, the game suddenly dropped significantly in fps, from an average 45-60fps to a max of roughly 25fps, anywhere I go, even the Mojave Outpost where I always received approx. 60fps.

 

I've tried several things, including removing d3d9.dll, stutter remover, enabling/disabling v-sync, restarting the PC etc. and its only FNV I'm having trouble with.

 

I have the latest patch as well, which has been fine up until now.

 

Any ideas on how to tackle this?

 

Many Thanks

 

UPDATE:

 

I've noticed its only my latest save with this problem, the save (and those before it) I did before the attacked caravan search is fine.

 

So its a bug thats somehow been saved onto that save data...?

 

UPDATE 2:

 

Whenever I go anywhere near the first caravan (Cass' caravan) thats when it starts to get a little dodgy in the FPS.

Acquiring Cass and going elsewhere in NV is no problem.
