Gameplay Speed Problems.

[raventrigun]

Hey guys I have a problem with my Fallout New Vegas I have the most recent patches and Dead Money with Honest Hearts

 

I have a long list of mods. Well my problem is when I went to Dead Money I noticed that the game gets so laggy it seems like I am going in slow motion (Low FPS)

 

but all of a sudden it speeds back up to normal speed and then I can play my fluid gameplay and then it slows back down. It tends to fix itself why I am talking to someone or when I load into a new area the quick load into the last area you were in doesn't help it.

 

Here is my list of mods.

I tested it at Different Qualities and Without NVSE it takes a lot longer to lag without NVSE

 

I still am running all mods I might try adding mods one by one but they don't seem to be the problem I don't understand the only thing different from this time and last time I installed Fallout New Vegas is The New Broken Hearts DLC is installed.

It feels like I am talking to myself.

Alright using Fraps I used a FPS Counter to Log my Speed in Game and The FPS during slowdowns

 

When on the menu it reaches FPS around 158 FPS

Loading it drops to 20 FPS

In-Game when Working Normal - 48-50 FPS (On High)/ On Medium Default - 60 FPS (I am using V-Sync and my Refresh Rate is 60 hertz) / Low - 60 FPS (Will jump higher than that but V-Sync tends to keep it in check)

When the slowdown occurs- 4-5 FPS

Then randomly jumps back to normal FPS but it is irritating due to the fact it happens quite often about 3 times every 10 minutes

When I hit ESC why its running at 4-5 FPS it jumps to 60 FPS if I exit it will hit 38 FPS then drop back to the 4-5 FPS withing a second.

 

I have installed the newest Video Driver for my NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB

I am running a Intel Dual Core @2.5 Ghz

and 3GB of RAM

 

Any suggestions?

You are talking to yourself. But I have the same problem, and I want to find a solution too. Also, NVSE just flat out doesn't work for me and the slowdown never fixes itself (or at least I haven't put up with it long enough for it to).

I played Fallout New Vegas before and never had this problem I proceeded to wipe my Hard Drive load Ubuntu and then Backtrack and then XP and then Vista then Back to Windows 7 by then Dead Money and Honest Hearts came out.

I tell you its probably the patches not the DLC because I turned them off and it still happens.

try removing all the armor/clothes from your character, some time ago i had a mod were some items had bugged nvse scripts when i used them and made the game lag horribly Edited May 26, 2011 by tomy999

Thanks for the suggestion I tried playing the game without any mods the only things I had enabled were the DLC's and it still ended up happening I went on a killing spree and it finally lagged up showing me that its not NVSE or my mods it has to do with the Patches or DLCs or some wacky computer thing.

 

I have played Fallout New Vegas before the DLC's Came out and never had this problem

I am going to try without the DLC's.

to narrow down the problem.
