Boston FPS Fix

[jdrfox]

I've tried this mod on and off, because it doesn't seem to solve anything for me. I keep reading anywhere there's a FO4 mods discussion about how this mod miraculously fix previously 'unplayable' Boston locations so I might be doing something wrong here. It is widely recommended as a 'must have' mod, as well.

 

I don't have any 'green' mods installed, and I always check mods that I download for dirty precombine/pre-vis edits. Without the FPS fix, I probably run around a fairly stable 50 - 60 fps in boston, no replicable crash or stutter issues (a couple ctd that never happened again, some stutter when I get close to hangman's alley, which I built up to max build limit).

 

When I install Boston FPS Fix and place it at the very bottom of my load order (as recommended by people), the game runs smoother, initially, running around Boston center. About 20 minutes in, the game drastically starts to slow down, til it hits about 1 FPS, then it totally freezes and I'd have to task manager my way out of FO4.

 

Do people who recommend this mod Fast Travel often? Any survival mode players who never fast travel played with this fix? Am I doing something wrong here?

I've used it in my survival games, I have PTSD from the skyrim fast travel bug so I decided to never fast travel in future beth games. It makes my game pretty stable, and it usually fixes problems my mom has with her game (she has a crappier computer). It also fixes more than boston, would have to look at the mod page since I don't remember. However you may just be fixing the same thing the mod fixes, not a modder so it may just seem like a simple fix for you guys lol.

 

I also use Private Profile Redirector, it fixes a very glaring problem with how scripts are loaded with this antediluvian engine beth games use.

Yeah, I'll check if it's ENB related or something. I've tried it about 3 times now, each doing the exact same thing. Very smooth for the first 15 - 20 minutes, then suddenly grinds to a halt. It's not even a CTD, it just stalls and freezes. I can even access my pipboy and when the pipboy is up, the game's FPS goes back to 60.

 

I have a pretty stable mod load order I use on multiple different playthroughs (a long play through, a fresh playthrough, a mod testing playthrough) so I'm pretty sure my load order works just fine. Boston FPS fix is just the one mod that I want and can't seem to make work.

Well I read the mod page, and it seems it really only works if you use mods that jack-up the precombines by altering the outside world space. If your not using mods that add objects to the world space, you might not need the mod. Also under posts he/she notes that if you use this ini entry "bUseCombinedObjects=0" that you should remove it (I don't know if I ever had that, been playing Skyrim lately).

 

I would say you don't need it unless you have mods that alter the landscape, or if you have really bad FPS in boston.
