Runs Ridiculously Fast (Not in a good way)

[KingdomKey63]

Hey everyone,
I just wanted to ask how to best handle an issue I am having with Fallout NV. All of the animations and everything are running a mile a minute and I don't really know how to go about fixing it? It's not like it doesn't work or anything is broken per se, its just that the animations are so jarring when they're happening as fast as they are. And because the animations are so fast, the audio is accelerated too. I thought they may have added a sprint button or something because I get to my destination in like a quarter of the time it would take to get to that same place on console or an older PC, and my character walks so fast. I went online and looked for some answers but I didn't see like just one, concise, simple solution and am unsure how to best tackle this issue. It seemed that everyone had a different answer and I don't want to mess up and accidentally brick my PC or my game. Is there a really good way of handling this? Does this require a mod or a third party installation? Or is there a way to somehow fix it myself? Thanks again!

You'll have to lock your framerate to 30

lock it to 59 not 30. You don't need to limit frames like you're playing on a ps3.

Why 59 and not 60...?

Well it really depends on what you're using to limit frame rate. Some that say 60 still go to like 60.1, 60.2 etc. Choosing 59 means that the highest you really go is like 59.9999 or whatever.

Apparently, the Tick Fix mod lets you play at higher framerates without bugging out the game. Give it a go.

I recommend checking out all the mods on the game's PCGW page: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Fallout:_New_Vegas

Thanks! Is there a way to do that in game or do I need to download the mod suggested below?

Thank you! I have never used mods before, is there anything at all I need to look out for?

Nothing in particular. Just make sure you follow the instructions and you'll be okay.

I suggest downloading that Tick Fix first. If that doesn't fix it, you should try to cap your framerate. There's a few ways to do it - the most effective is changing the settings for the game in your graphics card control panel. But that's harder to do than installing the mod.

Even then, the Tick Fix and other stability mods on PCGW do a lot more than fix that issue, like solving crashes and stutters, improving loading speeds, etc.

you will need New Vegas Script Extender for New Vegas Tick Fix,
as well as many other FONV mods.

https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/6194
this is the more recent version of mod organizer, to the original which I have used extensively in the past.
(I know it says Skyrim, but is also for Fallout New Vegas. scroll down further on the page.)

You'll likely be doing a lot of reading as well as trial & error getting everything up & running smoothly, as I did at first. good luck!

Thank you everyone for the help! I will do my best to work on this and come back later if nothing works

hey waitaminute, you're not using a television as opposed to a computer monitor to view this game are ya? 'cause there's this godawful nauseating effect that's been set as the factory default for over the past 10 years on most televisions called motion smoothing or trumotion, motionflow, auto motion plus or what have you depending on television manufacturer if you are. (also known as soap opera effect) IT'S GARBAGE.
If using a television, definitely set that hindrance to OFF. It ruins any good movie as well.

DO NOT USE THAT VERSION OF NVSE.

Please, people, stop linking classic NVSE. It's long-since deprecated and has long-standing memory leak problems that were never fixed. DO NOT use it.

Again, DO NOT USE THAT VERSION OF SCRIPT EXTENDER. You should *ONLY* be using xNVSE at this point - https://github.com/xNVSE/NVSE/releases .

Secondly, a new modder generally shouldn't be directed to MO2. I know, power users and oldschool players love it, but it tends to toss terminology and procedures at people that they don't need to know in [current year].

OP, just use https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex/ . You'll have a much easier time of things. It does basically everything for you - and if you get to a more advanced stage where you need more control, it will afford you that as well. There is almost no point these days where you actually *need* the extra power-user features that MO2 provides unless you plan on doing much more advanced things.

That will eliminate 90% of the "trial and error" for new modders.

Not relevant when gaming on a TV. The "soap opera" effect only occurs on broadcast content because it's being upconverted from 29.97 FPS to 60 (or 120, or 240, or whatever) and movie content because it's being unconverted from 24FPS upward. At a game already running at higher FPS, the same effect won't be used, and if it is, wouldn't actually be doing anything visible. 120 FPS content will look the same on a 120Hz upconverting TV as it would just being played on a 120 Hz screen. It isn't adding extra frames when it doesn't need to.

Even if that was the case, it wouldn't cause the audio to bug out and the actual game animations to speed up.

o.k. I stand corrected, haven't modded nor played FO3 or FONV in the past 4 years, was a tad hellhammered last night as well. Apologies for any misinformation on my part to all parties involved, wasn't deliberate.

I was a bit ♥♥♥♥ canned when responding, hence my overly aggressive tone. My apologies as well.
