Freezing/ Fps drops at certain times

[SaintChewy]

Hello everyone,

 

I've been having this problem for awhile now and I've tried messing with it but have not had much luck. I have done my share of googling and troubleshooting but Im at my wits end. So there are two points in this game that I can make the FPS drop every time.

 

One of the two areas are:

 

When loading into the game and the video in the background is playing its okay, no stutter or anything. But as soon as I hit a button to continue, I get a major stutter/ FPS drop into the single digits for a second or two and then it loads just fine.

 

Things Ive tried for this:

 

--Deleting all my saves from the saves folder

 

--Turning off the cloud saves

 

--Verifying the integrity of the cache

 

--Making a fresh set of ini files

 

None of this helps

 

The second area where it has a major stutter is Settlement Building. Anytime I activate it the whole game freezes for at least a couple of seconds.

 

Things I've tried for this:

 

--Making a new character

 

--Verifying the integrity of the cache

 

--Making a fresh set of ini files

 

--Deleting all the resources that I had in the workshop

 

That hasn't helped either. I do have a feeling that this could be do to settlement mods that I have, but i haven't seen any thing about the whole game freezing when activating it. I have maybe 5 or so mods that add items. I did try to remove the settlement mods to see if it helps and it does, but a tiny bit where it goes down from several seconds of freezing to a second or so of a full stutter. Which I still find unacceptable

 

Here are my PC specs:

-i7 7700k oc @ 5ghz

-EVGA GTX 1080ti SC2 Hybrid oc @ 2025mhz

-Corsair Dominator Platinum @ 3200mhz

-Game being ran off a Samsung 850 evo 1TB

 

So I don't think its anything hardware that is causing this. Looking for any suggestions or things that could help. Thank you very much

Check your power properties for your SSD, make sure it is set to NEVER turn off. Leave the machine running overnight, and try again. See if that doesn't improve anything.
