benzzodude Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 So after upgrading my PC (I'm running an i7 4790k, GTX 970, 16gb RAM) Fallout 4 would run like a charm for the most part (fps drops in only a couple of exterior locations), but now about a month later I'm experiencing FPS drops in more places than before, and the game will also stutter pretty badly when near lots of trees coupled with shadows. Tried lowering settings like Godrays, shadow quality and distance etc with no difference made. I also tried verifying the integrity of the game cache. Nothing. Any advice here would be appreciated. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 No advice. Seems to be inherent to the tinkering of Bethesda themselves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimsonhawk87 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I've noticed it alot more since the DLC....I'm sure there's some un optimized something or another that will take a couple of patched to sort out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 (edited) I've noticed it a lot more since the DLC....I'm sure there's some un optimized something or another that will take a couple of patched to sort out. Haven't installed the DLC yet; been reading around and the DLC brings too many bugs to my taste (even patch 1.4, which contained code to prepare the game for the DLC made the game more buggy than before, at least, for yours truly) so I'll wait til that patch comes along before I get the DLC... As an after-thought, it could be that there's more stutter now because of the change in how the game renders textures: through some kind of streaming instead of a direct rendition --although this was supposedly done just to get rid of micro-stutter and/or the game hanging when trying to render large parts of texture. For me (and a lot of others) this switch has made for a lot of blurred and soupy textures which don't fully render at all...
