EnrapturedSong Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'd like to post this just to see if anyone might be able to help me. So fps issues and stuttering are a common thing in fallout 4 especially on medium to lower end pc's like mine where a ton of ini. fixes and what not have to be applied. I have one issue though, i've tried a lot of the things around here that are told to increase fps and stop stuttering, and they have worked but for some reason only on my female main characters. When i'm playing as any of my male characters, the micro stuttering persists and fps drops are often, but when i'm one of the female characters I use, the game runs smooth as butter save for the occasional hiccup around city areas. Does anyone have an idea of what might be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyRJump Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Could have to do with mods that add/alter female assets like eyes, hair, brows, make-up and some such. A lot of the time, mods tend to work smoother than vanilla textures (when done properly) and put less strain on CPU and GPU. Or it's the other way round and mods you use that apply only to male characters are a bit heavy to load and as such add strain to your system...

EnrapturedSong Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Hmm thats all good to know. It is kinda strange to me though because the only mod I have for males that has anyform of retexture is a skin mod that i've been using for quite a while now and for some reason now it has decided to cause fps issues. I've even tried making a new male character thinking maybe it is an issue with the save because of the amount of mods i've used, installed, uninstalled and so on with that character, and the fps issues were still there.

JimmyRJump Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Frame count in FO4 is the most inconsistent in any game I've ever played and doesn't make any sense at all. My character can be sitting still, staring at the grass while I roll a cigarette and out of the blue, frame rate drops from 59.9 (I have it locked at 60) to 1.7 to stutter for a few seconds around the 15 mark to again go up to 60... without touching anything or moving at all.

EnrapturedSong Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Wow, that's laughable for sure. Fallout 4 is like the only game i have that has ever had issues like this, the only reason others games I have even would is because i get too many retexture mods like in new vegas, but even new vegas with a ton of textures mods doesn't stutter as bad as fallout 4, skyrim doesn't even have these fps problems on my pc.

EnrapturedSong Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 I actually think I fixed this issue now. I simply cleared out my temp on my pc, and using a trick I found out from Ark, I added -high to launch options for the game on steam and it fixed the issues for the most part, how weird.
