Well this is why i have my game on a disk no steam bull s#*! nothing just need to uninstall and install good to go and will stay away from the update till later the GECK is out if i recall SKYRIM had the same issues

"Well this is why i have my game on a disk no steam bull s*** nothing just need to uninstall and install good to go and will stay away from the update till later the GECK is out if i recall SKYRIM had the same issues"

The game uses SteamWorks, which means there is no such thing as a non-Steam version.

That is an old problem man, if you use NMM and launch from there it will be fine.

Turned off all Mods, uninstalled Fallout 4... nothing helps. Any advice? Im in the process of uninstalling all mods, fallout 4 and steam then reinstalling but any help would be nice.

I have AMD R 380s crossfired. I reinstalled the drivers and rebooted. I also had to switch to the 'default' setting in crossfire. Maybe something in that can guide you toward a solution for your box.

I sometimes see textures either flicker or disappear depending on how I pan the camera. I tried the same save with the backup exes and data (without the new update) and the issue doesn't happen.

Sometimes when I lower the ambient occlusion or shut it off, it diminishes the issue. I am thinking this might be a cumulative problem with AO + the updated way the game renders/loads textures upon getting into the cell (from a load screen).

The result? Fallout 4 has turned out to be the most stable Bethesda game I have ever played. I have logged almost 200 hours of game play, and I have not experienced one single CTD. I have 32 mods installed via NMM, organize with LOOT, launch with F4SE, and run the game with ultra settings. I installed the beta patch (now out of beta) when it was first made available. The patch improved game play and graphics and was never a problem.

Thank you, Bethesda, for such a stable and fun game.

No idea what mod caused it, or what ini setting. But have leveled twice, have built stuff in settlements, have seen a fair bit of combat and no CDT's all evening.

CTD's since release are minimal and up till now 100% linked to freshly installed mods, CTD's that vanished right after removing said mods.

That's not to say i haven't crashed due to mods, cause Lord knows I've crashed repeatedly to mods. But once i get the mod sorted (sometimes deleted), or the nif corrected, it's been bubblegum and lollipops. My only complaint is how the load time goes up when you have more mods installed. Hopefully the patch fixes some of that, but i can't blame the game for mods slowing my load times, because without mods the game loads rather quick.

There's a good chance he's not BS-ing, I have a couple hundred hours in it and have never had a CTD that wasn't related to a mod, and once I fixed my 1.3 by disabling the gore overhaul mod it works wonders, I don't get fps drops in the city anymore and the new HBAO+ is a dream come true, the PhysX is cool I guess but I don't even notice it most of the time.

Why would he be lying?

I mean he totally could be, but people usually post to report a problem or to complain. Posts to actually praise something are rare. So maybe we should just trust it? I want to backup his claims.

I have 184 mods installed, run every 4k texture I can find - 4k helps immensely on a 55'' Low latency Sony TV (17ms) - as seen below;

http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/

When I first installed this latest patch I got a tonne of CTD's - my first ever with Fallout 4. It soon was discovered that Gore Overhaul was to blame.

Prior to patch, on everything Ultra I would average about 50fps with a i7 2600k @ 5.0gz, 16gb ram and a GTX980 (Gigabyte G1) - and low fps was around 35-40fps. I had to play with Shadow quality and distance medium and god rays to high to get a smooth 60fps with lowest fps of 58.

I now play with everything ultra, even the new ambient occlusion and particle effects on ultra and I get 60fps everywhere. I also removed a lot of the old tweaks from my ini files as I feel they were not needed anymore (such as texture loading edits etc). My loading times have improved, albeit by not much - but on average by about 5 to 7 seconds.

To get the most out of your game I would recommend using vanilla ini files with the new patch and then only edit things you need (fov, camera edits etc) and completely avoid performance ini changes. Don't do the texture load edits, don't add edits to use all threads or thread the different components of the engine. Avoid increasing gridstoload, grass distance, view distances past ultra.

Don't touch things like bforcesmoothness (which has NOTHING to do with your mouse)...also be careful using things like the Geforce guide to tweaking FO4, as while most of the edits there each only consume 1-5 frames per second, eventually the 8-9 edits they recommend eat up 10-20 fps! The guys who make those tweaks have a gtx980ti as their reference guide - so be wary.

These edits will only slow down your game - trust me!

I wish the best of luck to the rest of you - happy gaming!

Regards,

Tony

P.S If you guys have a Nvidia card, try changing max pre rendered frames to 1 and see if that improves any fps, or try a lower setting like 4. Lower settings will help remove stutters but increase input lag.

Another neat trick that increased some fps for me and eliminated stuttering was playing in fullscreen windowed mode.

Lastly, try to untick motion blur and see if that helps or not.

Take care all! Edited February 3, 2016 by sydney666

For example with everything on ultra to include weapon debris I played a solid 30 mins fast traveled from Jamaica Plain to coastal cottage ran to Salem discovered the convalescent home went inside of it killed the zombies that spawned from the TRD mod. Exited killed some supermtants and ran to dunwhich borers killed everything but crashed when trying to enter it. I also crash when running past the townhall where you met Preston Garvey in concord.

I had the same problem with Dunwich Borers. After doing some reading and testing, it turns out that in my case the culprit was the Architecture module from Grafix. Disabling it allowed me to enter the mine. So for now my game works, but is a little uglier.

Game runs great till I reach a new level and then it CTD can run all over the place if I don't get XP to next level.

Brumear wrote: Nope

Tried all the Ideas I seen here and nothing

Uninstall/Reinstall, No Mods, Delete INI Files, don't have gore mod

just got to wait for the Muppet's to hear all the Rants and come up with a FIX

great too do all the work for them to debug it...

Same here. Just before few xps to level up, all seems fine. No mod for any leveling system.
