Extremely low FPS

[Valhalla_Eriksson]

After hearing about the Frontier, and having hours upon hours in the fallout games, I figured I would redownload the game and install the new mods. upon a fresh install, the game ran perfectly fine on my rig* right up until I installed mods, big surprise there. I uninstalled all the mods hoping to fix my problem but somehow I have broken my game. I can only play the game at 10fps, maybe even less and nothing I do will fix it. I have tried validating the game files, uninstalling and reinstalling. I have tried installing on a new SSD, I have tried completely deleting the game folders, uninstalling the Vortex mod manager, and pretty much any fix I can find. Somehow I have broken my game and im unsure how to fix it. Keep in mind, in the past ive had no problems playing this at what I would assume is 60fps or higher usually. Any help is appreciated, im out of options and lockdown has me craving a game I can put endless hours into.

Mods I installed before I broke the game, were:
NMC Texture pack
The Mod config menu
Nevada skies
Project nevada
Fallout character Overhaul
EVE
Weapon animation replacer
Weapon retexture project
UIO
Wasteland Flora and terrain overhaul

Which mod load order do you use to install your mods? Do you have LOOT? (a program that formats your mod list). What is your current load order? (listing the mod's name doesn't help us as some of the mods listed have patches/compatibility. that are required to run). Do you have the Dependency mods? (I.E xNVSE, 4GB patch, JIP, etc.) I know its a lot of question to take on but modding New Vegas is no joke and is a life or death situation. (jk)

In all seriousness, I would disable all and reinstall NV to start from square one and follow Viva's guide:

if you plan on installing The Frontier, Follow the compatibility spreadsheet as well:

Ive reinstalled NV with all mods disabled and the issue persists, I'm not fully sure why the issue persists at all when it should be a completely fresh vanilla install

If you have a fresh install, turn off HDR and AA. Then, run the game. If the problems still persist, run the game on 1080p or 1440p. If the problem still occurs, run the game with low graphics settings.

Thanks for your help so far, unfortunately following all these steps gives me no difference, it is the same 10fps, regardless of which setting I try

Make sure your graphics card settings in the windows menu and your drivers are up to date. (Probably won’t do thing but just trying to find a solution.) if that doesn’t work, try disabling your AV. If that doesn’t work, try installing OneTweak to force the game to be borderless window mode. If that doesn’t work, set all of the games setting as low as you can. If that doesn’t work, you might as well reboot your PC and see if anything changes.

Tried all and still to no avail, I used an fps overlay and found that during the title screen, and intro movie I get 60 fps, but as soon as the game loads it drops to 5/15fps, this is so bizarre as prior to the mods installing the game ran smoothly and I made it to the sunny smiles tutorial with im assuming 60fps

Did you delete the ini's in documents/my games/falloutnv when you reinstalled?

I deleted the ini files

Try using nvidia profile inspector and taking a look at the profile for fallout new vegas. Main things to set are application controlled for AA and AF, prefer maximum performance on power management mode, and single display performance mode for multi-display/mixed-gpu acceleration.

If the game isn't causing the gpu to clock up from its power saving state, I imagine that could be the issue.

I installed profile inspector and the setting for AA and AF are both application controlled, Edit* also changed to maximum performance and single display performance was already on, still no luck

Since you said you've already tried uninstalling and such, I am at a loss. Reinstalling and properly setting up mods fixed it for every other case I've found via google.

I will recommend that you ditch vortex in favor of MO2 if you do manage to get it working; the virtual file system is SO much better for modding.

Yeah I know what you mean, it makes zero sense, and Im pretty familiar with modding and troubleshooting. I downloaded the game on my laptop just now and it worked fine, I tried comparing the ini files for differences and such and noticed my pc version had a couple more files that the laptop version doesn't, any thoughts on that?

That’s interesting If you notice that your NV on your laptop has less files than NV on your PC. Seems like a long shot but perhaps copying the entire directory and its INI files via USB or cloud from your laptop then pasting it onto your PC NV directory would somehow fix it? I know it seems like a long shot but hey, we’re coming up with something, right?

I see this is an old thread but did the poster ever figure out the solution to his problem. I have same issue and can't find anything online. I've followed all the same steps as i've seen on other posts. full uninstall and reinstall and settings adjusted. Menus and custscene are normal but as soon as im in game FPS goes between 5-20FPS when I had is fully modded before and it held a constant 60fps
