gunslinger6792 Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 I've recently noticed that my game has started shuddering or stuttering what ever its called. when ever i try to turn my character really fast or im in a firefight my screen will be begin to stutter and i've never had this problem before. could this be due to me having to many mods installed (in all i have about 40) or could it be some other problem. i've tried installing a few other mods that are supposed to help with this and my graphics are set to low so im kinda out of ideas. would defragging my laptop help? thanks for any advice you can give me.

BarefootWarrior Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 You might want to give a list of your system specs. But the fact that you are playing on a laptop says a lot just on it's own. No offense, but not to many laptops can handle everything that a game throws at it, even the high end systems. Your video is 'built in' and it may not be able to handle all the processing for the mods would be a good guess. Also, the load order of your mods might be an issue as well. Just a thought.

gunslinger6792 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 No offense taken. is there a way to copy and paste you system specs ive found my specs in the past but for whatever reason i can't copy and past the specs. as far as the specs go they're not good but have always been able to handle new vegas on low high graphics settings or even medium graphics in the past without stuttering. i hadn't played the game in a few months came back to it and it just starting getting choppy in gameplay.

Quetzlsacatanango Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 The game doesn't handle a ton of NPCs very well, so if you have something that adds a lot, it could definitely cause your problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunslinger6792 Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 I think i locked it down my problem to one gun mod i have. not sure why but it seems to be the cause of most of the shuddering that occurs though i still haven't gotten rid of all of it.

BarefootWarrior Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It has surprised me what a mod can do in terms of performance. I have a fairly robust system and played Skyrim at Ultra settings, never even slowed down. I got turned on to FO3 and now FNV and installed some mods, settings at Ultra. I started to get stuttering and then things started to crash. This was (as I found out later) due to the load order of the mods, but also one mod in particular just brought my system damn near to a stand still at times, that being the 'Dynavision' mod. I love this mod, gives a depth of field touch to the game, but now leave it off and use it for screen shots only. There is also the issue in the back of my mind how well FO3 and FNV work with Win7 / DTX11? I don't believe theses games like DTX11 and wish we had a way to play them at DTX9. I could be way off base here, but just my thinking. I have had a myriad of issues with FNV on my system, but FO3 seems to be happy, have no clue why. In my case, I replaced my video card last fall and now I think I may have made a bad choice. That isn't helping my situation either, seems to be a constant driver issue and I finally rolled mine back to the driver that came with the card. Seems to run smoother now, so I gave up on the 'newest' and greatest drivers...for now anyway. But back to your issue, you might just want to 'clean' out your system, get rid of old files and the like so WIN 7 / Win XP...what ever, doesn't have to keep registering those while you are in game, and as you mentioned in your OP...defrag the drive, see if that helps. Also, if you have an application to use such as 'Advnaced System Care'...clean out your registry, that might help too. Hope some of this info helps, good luck.
