FALLOUT 4 RANDOM FREEZES

[AlwaysHungry815]

Title says it all basically every now and then the game would freeze for about 20 seconds. Sometimes when it freezes while walking around red rocket truck stop and pretty much anywhere, theres a small loading icon. I have a few mods like Texture optimization and optimized vanilla textures and such.

Also on random times

maybe your computer cant handle the textures. Disable the mods or set your quality lower

But the textures I downloaded are to optimize vanilla textures not enhance them? Those texture mods are performance mods (I can handle fo4 on ultra but in Boston fps tanks no matter what I lower)

then i really don't know sorry :/

Are you running your monitor in a non-native form? I was playing Fallout 4 at 1440p on a 1080p monitor and noticed frequent freezing, so I lowered it back down to 1080p and everything works fine.

that sounds like lack of VRAM, lower resolution doesn't use as much on the GPU

Sounds like you have less than 8GB of RAM. What are your specs?

Geforce GTX 960 (3gb VRAM)
intel i5 cpu
1TB SSD

Have you tried running the game without using any mods?

Yes I solved the problem by usuing the performance version of a few mods. On an off topic note ellie perkins wont open dialogue to give me my reward at the start of getting a clue?

Oh, you have the OEM GTX 960? That thing is exactly the same as my GTX 970m. I'm guessing you have that Zotac Steam machine with the i5-6400T. Your CPU is quite a bit weaker than mine, and may be holding your GPU back. You may want to disable godrays ("gr off" in the console) and put shadow distance on medium. An easier way to disable godrays would be to use Bilago's launcher and create an auto-run batch file. also, try the Shadowboost mod.

Another thing you could try is flip mode (only if you have Windows 8 or 10) and texture cache. A thread on how to do that is here: https://steamcommunity.com/app/377160/discussions/0/496881136898870103/
It completely fixed stuttering for me.

Install enbseries for fallout 4 and increase vram limit to just a bit less than your gpu allows
(I set mine to 6144mb)
This has solved for me, no stuttering or freezing since.
