Lag for no reason

[Electric1Money]

I was playing Fallout nv with high frames but out of nowhere it started to lag and have frame drops.

I have a few mods but i deleted them and it still lags.
I ran the game in the lowest settings but it didnt do anything.
I went into the data and removed Vsync but it still didnt do anything
I ran fallout nv with windows 7 compatability but it didnt solve my problem.
I have downloaded mods to fix it but it didnt work so i decided to reinstall the game and nothing worked.

Any help will be appreciated

Hi, i've got the same problem! Did you fix it? Could you tell me how please? Thanks!

Install NVSR (New Vegas Stutter Remover) and NVAC (New Vegas Anti-Crash) and see if those fix the issue.

ive already tried everything and it only helped a little.

Very long and easy to screw up, but I did it and now I get a smooth 60 on my garbage PC.

I know this thread is old, but I'm bumping it since I'm having the same problem.

To be entirely clear: I already installed NVSR and NVAC and all that long ago, and for many hours of gameplay things were running just fine. The lag spikes are an entirely new development the game did not have before, I am not talking about the standard problems most people are talking about and suggesting solutions for, I already took care of that stuff.

Yesterday I started the game up after changing nothing, and suddenly the game takes longer to start and gets huge lag spikes it never had before. Between spikes it runs as smooth as ever, but it now just randomly comes to a near complete stop briefly for two or three seconds at most at random times, though turning seems to be the most consistent trigger. Also it always takes longer than usual to load between map trasitions, along with even the music hanging/looping until the next area is ready to go.

Anyway, because it ran fine for the last few weeks, something must have changed, but I don't know what. I vaguely remember reading something about save files eventually harming performance after enough play time somehow, but I can't seem to find anything about it now. Otherwise, anybody have any idea what would suddenly cause lag spikes in an otherwise long-time stable game out of nowhere?

I'm omitting system specs because it already ran smoothly for a long time, so it can't be my hardware that's the issue, as it hasn't changed. And if it were a quiet Windows 10 update or something causing it, I'd think I'd be finding more complaints like this by now, so I doubt that's it.

Old thread, but... I have the same problem. No mods; my laptop was able to run throughout almost all game (with all DLCs) on ultra for 152 hours of gameplay. Suddenly it started to stuttering. In fact it works like a complete crap now. No matter what is the resolution or details level, no matter whether I'm using the lev.8 save or lev.50 - still framerate is terrible...

Yes, it is a global issue on laptops now after some recent Windows or Nvidia update.

The problem never was never resolved so i deleted the game and all existing data and reinstalled it. It seems to working fine now though i lost all the progress which kinda sucks

I upgraded my gpu and my save game lagged enough to me feel ill. I started a new game (applied settings from geforce experience) and it works fine with no lag.

I deleted every file in the entire game and validated the game files

Did you change any hardware?

A new game start lag?

The game need to run at 60 fps?

This thread is 6 years old, with the last reply from almost half a decade ago.

Start a new ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thread, the issues you have are almost certainly not the same ones that existed back then.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
