Fallout 3 - Stuttering For No Apparent Reason (Only in Certain Areas).


Trinkets

Recommended Posts

Alright, I'll start off by saying that I'm running the game on Windows 10, despite the obvious difficulties that came with doing just that, and I've been through all the common culprits that tend to assist people in this type of situation.

Basically, my problem is this. While running a modded game (will post load order below), I can traverse many parts of the wasteland and it's interiors just fine, no problem.
However, in certain areas, my game will take a MASSIVE frame drop. Starts lagging immensely, however, it's also rather sporadic as to how intense the lag is.

Sometimes I can enter a "lag-zone" and it will just completely bomb, and sometimes even crash.
Other times, I can enter the same zone and walk around "fairly" normally, there's still micro-stutters in this scenario though.
And other areas, just walking into them, even if my FPS is a solid 60, I'll just immediately crash.

I'm wondering if anyone can help me out here?

Here's my load order below, though I recently used LOOT to sort it out just to check if it faired any better (I'm fairly good at making my own load order).
I'm using NMM and FO3Edit to sort and manage my mods.

Any suggestions?
Oh, also worth mentioning, that my rig should be more than enough to handle this game, as my old PC built in like 2007 was handling the load in the exact same manner.

From your load list, I would guess you either used LOOT to set it or just did it yourself.

 

You need to get your load list in the correct order. The best way to do this is to use B.O.S.S. Never use LOOT for FO3.

Also, I have had the problem you describe around Arefu when using Arefu Expanded. I could only fast travel there.

 

Whenever I tried walking to or around Arefu my game would freeze and I would have to force close the game.

I had recently used LOOT, yes.

No worries on that front though, my load order was perfect beforehand (I had organized it myself), and I only used LOOT just before posting this to see if it would have an effect on the issue....which it did not.

 

I've been able to get to Arefu with the Expanded mod installed and had no issues there.

 

Although it occurs in multiple, random areas, the specific area that I'm using as a testing ground isn't too far from Raven Rock (I'm using the alternate starting from FWE).

 

I can see no specific traits of the area that would cause frame droppings. It's just blank, hilly terrain, but as soon as I walk a certain amount towards it, the lag just starts.

 

Normally I've been able to troubleshoot this kind of stuff, but I'm at my wits end here.
