Fallout 4: To many draw calls when building skyscraper at settlement (performance issue)

[majorsky0609]

Hi

 

At first an essential thing:

Neither my CPU, GPU or RAM are anything near 100 % of load when experienced these problems:

Actually I’m on building a skyscraper on Spectacle Island with the Home Extended Mod.
The Building is about 20 stories tall and atm equipped with a few furniture, cables, turrets etc.

I experience stuttering which is getting even worse when I go on building things. With this issue
I can’t finish all the apartments, offices and so on because at some point it will get unplayable because it freezing every 1 second for about 2 seconds. :-‘(

I know it is an engine thing but is there any possibilities to fix it in some way?

Once more:
Both my CPU, GPU or RAM are anything near 100 % of load and the normal gameplay away from my settlement with the skyscraper is smooth as ever.

Specs:

CPU: i7 4790K
GPU: 780TI
RAM: 16 GB

Hope there is any help because I already spent more than 20 Hours building this piece of S… skyscraper xD

(btw: thanks for putting this in the right forum!)

Did you find a solution?) I'm building on the same island using a bunch of building mods. Looks something like this:

Draw calls at night:

During the day it's better:

I reduced the number of calls at night below 30k, but that didn't affect fps, because this engine cannot handle anything above 10k.

 

Some suggestions to reduce draw calls:

1. If you are using lights with dynamic shadows, don't :smile:

2. Use Scrap Everything mod and remove hundreds of objects on the island - crates, sunken ships, shrubs, rocks, etc.

3. Remove some of the objects you added, it's the only way (game actually have a building limit, it is based on the number of draw calls and triangles in your settlement, did you bypass it? :smile:)

 

As for the "solution" I was asking in the beginning, I mean the only reasonable one - create a separate location and build all indoors there, then add a door to that location. There is a reason all buildings in F4 have interiors that need loading, engine just can't handle so much details at once.
