Major lag after OWD playthrough

[tesguy50]

Hello!

 

After playing though the game for a few days and deciding to begin one of the DLC's... my fps had dropped considerably that it went from 60+ to 15-20 fps after doing a playthough of old world blues and now the game is next to unplayable due to the incredible lag! i did revert to another save that i made before starting the DLC and all was fine but is there any way to fix this incredible FPS drop from the playthough of the OWB?

I have a similar thing, it's not lagging nessecarily and it doesn't really have anything to do specifically with any one of the DLC's. But the game memory file gets larger and takes a lot longer to load as you explore more areas and complete more quests.

 

My first time playing the game I went through and did absolutely everything and played through the DLCs and gradually I noticed that the game was taking longer and longer to load up until eventually I found myself waiting up to 10 minutes to load up, and of course, I got sick of it and created a new character :biggrin:

 

There's not really much you can do to avoid this in any meaningful way, but you could set the game to run in a higher priority in task manager, and delete some of your unwanted save games to create more space.

 

 

However... what I've started to do, which helps, is to limit what you do in the game to a specific character. So, one character can avoid Dead Money and Old World Blues entirely and only plays Lonesome Road and Honest Hearts, and then another character does the opposite.

 

That probably doesn't help you now, but bear it in mind the next time you replay the game ;)
