CTD After 15 minutes of gameplay!! Can anyone help?

[bearus]

So I've had the game since release date and its always been kind of buggy, its one of the reasons why I actually stopped playing for awhile. I recently decided "Hey! Why not the game has been out for awhile now I'm sure all the weird bugs are fixed". Not the case.

My game always crashes to my desktop (no errors or anything) roughly ever 15 minutes. The frame freezes for one second and then I'm back to facing the desktop. I'm really upset that I can't play this game.

I was wondering if anyone could take a look at my specs and help me figure out how to fix this or know of a patch that could help.

My Specs:
Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz
8GB RAM
Nividia GeForce GTX 960
Running with Windows 10

Any bit of info is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Must be some crazy bug, runs perfectly on ps4, barely any crashes

Any mods installed?

One mod, its the unofficial FO4 patch. I downloaded it yesterday hoping it would so something and it hasn't changed anything.

Do you have mods? Have you installed UFO4P? Have you cleaned your masters (can't remember if that was a thing for FO4)? Have you checked your mod order, and play tested said mods?

Try running with only one monitor, your profile says you have two.

This game is CPU intensive and runs shadows off your CPU. Keep Shadow Distance at medium or even low.

I would lower all settings til you stop crashing so often. That little bit of an explanation makes me think your frame rate is tanking to single digits and causing the game to crash.

Update your 960 drivers manually doing a clean install. Win10 auto updates drivers without uninstalling the old ones first.



Verify the integrity of the game files.

I can run it on my laptop and have quite a few mods and had no trouble so far

That doesn't help. Your laptop might be more powerful than his PC. There's also software/viruses to consider.

No my laptop is not a gaming one and my spec is similar except for the graphics, which are just intel HD intergrated. Admittedly I run it on a windowed resolution of 1280 x 720 but still i have 10 mods and 15 plug ins and the game isnt at all jerky. As for viruses well maybe a scan could sort that. AVG is free. Maybe there are two many processes running at the same time so i would advise turning off unnecessary ones. BUT you are right my first comment didnt help at all !

- Update drivers .Open Help->System Information in the Steam client and check for the driver date. It should be at least a driver from 2017.
- Verify game files: open the Steam client, go into the Library, right-click Fallout 4 on the left pane, select Properties, then go into the Local Files tab and press the button at the bottom.
- Check for dust, spinning fans and signs of over-heating, run Prime95 to test hardware stability.

every 15 mins? try killing a process called tabtip32.exe AND disable Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel service. found in this thread:
