chewchewbuh Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 I'm not sure if this is a silly post with a silly answer sorry if it is but I feel like Fo4 can run with decent FPS at high quality with my setup... but it's not. I have a GeForce GTX 950m (on a laptop, which may be why it doesn't run well with high settings) with 2 GB Dedicated RAM and 16 GB RAM Total. Minus the amount the OS uses and other necessary things it goes to around 12 (it says 15.9 usable but...). Shouldn't the game be able to take any necessary RAM left over so it can perform better? Idk I monitored the RAM usage while running the game and it juuuuuust went over the dedicated memory amount and I feel like it should be able to snag some more. I'll be honest I'm not an expert on how games run and whatnot, sorry for that, I just thought someone might be able to help someone not so tech savvy. Thank you.

Purr4me Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 (edited) increase your swap file size to match that of the physical ram installed.

ddavies10693 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 This goes back to the issue of the outdated engine. Frankly, newer engines utilize memory better, plain and simple. It's been heavily modified, I know, but there's only so much you can do before it just becomes obsolete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewchewbuh Posted April 29, 2016 Author Share Posted April 29, 2016 You mean the engine the game was built on? Purr4me thank you, it worked, except for places where it's just loading up and where a lot of random s#*! is but that's bound to happen. Thanks again.

ddavies10693 Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Yeah the engine the game was built hasn't been changed for quite some time, although it's been modified and improved, it's never been truly upgraded. Unfortunately there's only so much you can do by tweaking settings, modding ini files, downloading plugins, or whatever. You're gonna get FPS drops, stutters, etc., no matter what you do at some points, regardless of you rig. The fix suggested above is something I've personally never heard of, and will be trying it very soon. so thanks for that as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yeah I expect fps drops I'm just trying to limit them for the most part. Thanks for the feedback, guys :smile: Should I look into Nvidia SLI for the game?
