Extreme stuttering

[democles_pl]

Holy crap so its been years since I played this game, got a new rig and it's become unplayable.
Got like a 980gt 8gigs of ram.
Turned settings down to high from Ultra
Tried installing Mod that removes stutter
Tried to install performance enhancing mod

Tried the weird ini modifying suggestion on this thread
https://steamcommunity.com/app/22380/discussions/0/630799815369184123/

Nothing.

Any tips? Was really looking forward to diving into it again. Currently running no mods. Still happening.

If you mean stuttering every few seconds, it is because of asset loading in the background. Defrag the HDD the game is on or install it on an SSD.

If you mean a constant microstutter, then Stutter Remover handles it. You need to adjust its settings though to make it work reliably: https://wiki.step-project.com/User:EssArrBee/FalloutNewVegas#New_Vegas_Stutter_Remover
You also must keep its heap replacer disabled and use this instead: https://forum.step-project.com/topic/4490-memory-patch-has-been-ported-to-nvse/

If you mean the game feels like as if it had very low framerate in general, then your fps is over 60 and it is causing the physics engine to act out. Limit your framerate to 59. You can use the Stutter Remover, or the traditional MSI Afternburner, or adding the FONV specific ENBoost to your game from the enbdev site, then enabling unsafe memory hacks in its config file.

Will try defrag and reinstall first we'll see how it goes. That shouldn't be much of an issue honestly though. It's on my games drive that doesn't see a lot of action and frags reaaaalllly slowly historically. And no other game has this issue.

Ok 0% fragmented like I thought. Ugh.

So Talgaby: It's stutering every few seconds for like a second + each time. And not even as I'm travelling. Just as I'm standing there moving through inventory.
Wish I knew why it was happening now and not ages ago on my old rig.

Do you have controller enabled in the settings? The game may be looking for one.

Other than that, try the usual full treatment then:

Sections 3-4. Stability enhancements and bug fixes.

Also, if you have some software that tries to hook into games, disable them. Same goes for antivirus, whitelist the entire game folder.

Windows 10 is the issue alot of the time.

Have you tried playing in compatibility mode? You can also try one of the patches in the pinned thread of this discussion.

Running Win 7

And I'll try that tonight Talgaby, ta.

I bought the game while it was on sale a few days ago and the only thing that fixed my stuttering issue were mods which were the new Vegas Stutter Remover mod and Better Game Performance V5 mod. You could also try the New Vegas Anti Crash Mod.

Ward just in case.
