Hazzerone Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) Hey guys, Ever since Fallout 3 was released in 2008 I have not been able to enjoy this game. When I had it on PS3 the framerate was horrible and it was clearly so. Now it's 2015 and here are my (important) system specs: Windows 8.1i5 4690kSapphire R9 290 Tri-X2x1TB 7200RPM Seagate HDD in a RAID0 array (where the game is installed)2x4GB RAM I can get stable 60fps in Megaton...in buildings...in Vault 101...but as I go deeper into the wasteland if I look in certain directions my framerate will fall to like 39 (but this 39 does NOT feel smooth...all animations look and feel slow...the game generally feels choppy...and I simply cannot play a game which feels this way). As far as mods installed and fixes I've tried here goes: FOSEWindows 7/8 fix..ini tweaks (iNumHWThreads and bUseThreadedAI)Stutter Remover (including removing FPS cap entirely, trying to cap at 60, and trying to cap at 30 - capping at 30 works in the sense that I can maintain 30fps but the 30fps which is maintained does not feel fluid even though there are no framerate drops).Unofficial FO3 PatchLarge Address Aware Enabler for FO3Borderless Windowed ModeForcing on V-synch through AMD Catalyst Control Center NMC Texture Pack (Performance Pack...although the EXACT same thing is happening even without any texture packs installed). It's been 7 years since this game was released and I still can't maintain a stable 60fps at all times? Let's say this is an engine issue and not a hardware issue...how the HELL do people regard this game so highly if this is the case? Do they not FEEL this choppy gameplay? For me this game right now is like a 1/10. I can't stomach even 2 minutes of it in this current state! I would really appreciate some help! Any ideas?

JW1 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Try turning off anti-aliasing and AO in the game and turn them on in the CCC. Also, what's the game like if you run it without the stutter remover and borderless window mode? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hazzerone Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 I've completely uninstalled FO3 and everything related to it and I'm now following this guide: http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Kelmych/Fallout3 But I've failed at the first hurdle trying to optimize textures using DDSopt... does anyone here have experience in following the DDSopt guide?
