SirGalahad Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I just started using the Script Extender and Place Everywhere yesterday. The first difference I noticed was an increase in speed of the game's startup. Normally, I get a lot of stutter and pausing during the initial loading of the game, during the black and white film sequences, and a little as the camera zooms in toward the power armor (before you access the main menu). Things settle down at this point. With the Script Extender launcher, the black and white sequences have no stutter or pausing, and the camera movement toward the garage and power armor is smooth from the beginning. Otherwise, frame rates are consistent, which I imagine is to be expected. Just the launching of the game is faster. Anyone know why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evangela Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 ... well this is more of an opinion than an answer, but while I have not seen how the game is coded in C++ and Assembly, I've obviously seen vanilla scripts. Optimization and best practices aren't a common thing with BGS. I'd say the guy that coded that F4SE launcher was careful and coded with optimization in mind. That and the sources(SKSE too) are very readible. tl;dr - less junk code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I must wonder how much of the game is just like this? Most? Little Hangman's Alley and its low frame rates jump immediately to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
