Playing fallout 4 slows down internet badly

[Scorpion]

Whenever I play Fallout 4 my internet slows down badly which doesn't make sense. First off I don't have steam cloud server sync on steam since my internet is already bad and it takes forever to sync. Second off fallout 4 isn't an online game so I dont really understand why it does this, my internet is faster when playing Gta V online than fallout 4. If anyone has had this problem and knows a fix please let me know.

Might be slowing down your computer, making pages load slower, which gives the illusion that it's your internet.

No thats not the problem, this computer can handle more than that, and my internet is slowed on my phone and other devices on the internet

Ah. Hmmmm...

Can you confirm that it's Fallout 4 itself? Or is it a background process related to it (Bethesda.net, Nexus. Steam, etc)?

If your talking about mods then I dont use em, and as said before when I play gta 5 on steam it isnt slowed down

I'm not sure, then. Try a website like Tom's Hardware, they usually know what's up with stuff like this.

I'd recommend running a malware/virus/rootkit scan with a utility like MalwareBytes Anti-Malware (RECOMMENDED, there's a free version available), Rootkit Remover/Scanner (MalwareBytes makes one too), AVG or even Windows Defender.

Fallout4 really doesn't have any components by default that would be affecting your Internet access as a whole and may be more signs of something else going on under the hood.

2 things, I just got this computer 3 weeks ago from cyberpowerpc and have not downloaded anything online except steam and razer drivers , second I run mcafee every Friday and just a ran it last Friday but I'll be sure to download malawarebytes just incase

How do you know? Have you run Speedtest before and during?

How much is it slowed? Metric, metric, metrics - not anecdotes.

Well when I was playing yesterday I was watch a YouTube video on the app and i saw the video on my recommended but it took forever to load and ended with the failed to load tap to retry screen and until I had quit fallout it would finally load after a few mins of quitting fallout 4

Try Auslogics duplicate file finder, registry cleaner and disk defrag. Those clean up your drives nicely and keep your pc running fast. I also use malwarebytes and Avast. All free programs.

This isn't about my PC running faster but I'll be sure to try and do this so my PC doesn't slow down too badly

[Seqhmet]

Fine, don't try them. I honestly don't care. My pc kicks ass, yours doesnt.

So does my internet.

A single,player game with online component is slowing down your internet? Yes that makes perfect sense

God I was just trying to find out where to get kremvh's tooth
