I never noticed how bad financial district was
With optimization. Like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Tanking my FPS even after disabling WOTC, and EW(both disabled earlier due to CTD's near swan's pond).

Then I went inside the railroad's church and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ there's got to be a memory leak in there. I was hitting 10-15 fps.


Even with darker nights, an ENB, piles of texture mods, regrowth on max settings, and a handful of other things(4k power armor textures, etc), I typically have no problem with 60fps in the entire gameworld and most of downtown. The financial district brought it down to 25-30 fps, and the church to 10-15. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

Drop shadows to Medium or, at most 4500 in the INI (I used to do 6000 but one of the more recent optimization passes ♥♥♥♥♥♥ it up) and you really shouldn't drop off of the 50's in FPS, even sprinting full-tilt through Boston Common/Fanuiel Hall.

The one thing that really messes with my FPS besides the Vertibird bugs (Which can drop it to single-digits, but this is a bug, so not filed under Optimization tbh, and is quite rare) is the Explosive Shotguns, which, especially if bloody mess procs, can sink FPS pretty bad.

I accept an fps drop. It's just going to happen with what I'm running.

I just didn't expect something down to 10-15 fps.

I accepted that fps drops would be a reality when I installed regrowth, where god rays are running 24/7 through the plant life.

For example:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1200013788
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1200013807


And I definitely didn't expect those 10-15fps to be in a relatively unused, small(smaller than most vaults) cell inside of a building where no plants and minimal spawns are.

Do you comprehend the fact you neglected my point entirely? Of course not.

This thread is a pile of ♥♥♥♥.

On my last play through I was also down to 10-15fps inside the church. It was the first time it dropped that badly for me in that location. The only thing I was running that was much different from my previous play throughs was Regrowth Overhaul and PRC. I'm have been curious to see what its at this time through as I changed to grasslands from regrowth and to vouge from PRC.

It was really bad last time through though, kept running into walls, could barely manage to kill off the ghouls just because I couldn't aim.

That's just silly.
No its not. I don't even have a FPS counter up for this very reason. Yes I do notice FPS dips and I hate them. I don't need to know by how many etc, unless it is necessary to know. If there is a serious problem that I need to sort out it is pretty obvious without needing a counter tell me. I find having a counter just makes you more aware of them. Even the tiny ones you probably would have missed or immediatly forgotten about after. Fallout is particularly bad for FPS hits on even the high end PC's. Exactly how does having a frame counter help you enjoy a game like this. I play this game knowing full well I will get annoying dips here and there. I just accept them as part of Bugthestas games. If I couldnt then I just would not play them. And like I said its very noticable if there is an issue that needs sorting without needing a counter.

i have an i7700k and a 1080 with 16gb ram and F4 is installed on an SSD and can reach 144fps in good areas.

There is just no excuse for the performance problems in F4, only a mindless idiot fanboy would defend this.

45fps dip? Lol

Ya dipping to 45fps on a game engine not intended to go over 60fps is such a huge problem....

Nope. 3000 hours and 0 looks at my FPS. I would rather enjoy the game then worry about something as silly as how many FPS I am getting.

If you can't notice the difference between 30 fps and 60 fps theres a problem and you seriously need to get an examination.
If you are constantly running the game at 60fps and something brings it down to the 30s.... you'd notice... you dont even need FPS ever displayed to notice. I NEVER have my fps unless its my first boot of the game and I want to know what needs to be adjusted and when I feel like I am lagging.

Believe me... if you ever noticed slight lag issues, you've noticed FPS issues. If you enjoy the game constantly being sluggish thats fine, dont come into a thread about optimization and clear issues and shove your oblivious mindset on how YOU youreslf enjoy the game with its performance drops on people.

Were you born this stupid? Did I ever say I never noticed a difference? Nope. I said I did not care. Use some reading comprehension before running your mouth, might may you look less stupid.

No. What you said was why should anyone care and then you went on about how you never once looked at FPS and you enjoy the game even though its not optimized.

Do you have a habit of being an ass going into threads you clearly are going to speak out against and bash on something that makes other people happy? Also nice insult there champ, I stated a serious concern for you needing a medical exam if you couldn't see a difference and you go straight into petty and childish insults.

Guess you were born stupid if you think that is not veiwed as an insult. Thanks for proving my point.

You done lashing out? Ah, actually I ironically know you. You've been banned a few times if I recall for this very reason on serveral different forums, glad to see you haven't changed.

Anyways, I'm done here.
I won't be able to sway someone who sole intent is to bash on what other people enjoy.

You lashed out with the insults first, guess you forgot that already. Hope ya didnt land on your face falling off that high horse because your face awas ugly enough as is.

I have never been banned from any forum. So once again you just making yourself look stupid just running your mouth.

All this fuss from you because I simply did not care about my fps in the game and would rather enjoy the game. Could not jsut let my opinion slide, you jsut had to start throwing insults, yet you berate me when I did it back, that is irony.
