I'm finally getting good loading times. But why?

[craldark]

I did a clean install with no mods and now with the new patch I'm getting good loading times of 8-15 seconds through portal doors and fast travel. Why I don't know. I'm not using that accelerator mod. Its the same setup as after the 'next-gen' update with a clean install yet I was then getting 1 to 3 minutes on many.

The second update reintroduced iPresentInteral and when set to 0 will it turn off vsync.

So if you now see good load times then turn on an fps counter. You might be getting quite high frame rates as well.

You still want to limit the frame rate in this case, or you get audio cutting out early, NPCs talking over each other, getting stuck at terminals, lock-picking being impossible, or just the main menu being hard to control with just the keyboard. Not to mention possible black screens and crashes. But have a look first at an fps counter.

that's a hell of an improvement, but still not good, though. Unless you've got the game installed on a USB attached drive... maybe they fixed in .984 what they broke in .980? Who knows.

My vanilla .984 cell transition, what you're calling portal doors, is under a second to 2 seconds, and warping from one side of the commonwealth to the other, say virgils cave in glowing sea to sanctuary where nothing is still cached, is 4 to 6 seconds, same for warping to FH or NW, with frames locked at 84. (4th gen NVMe 990 Pro) If you locked at 60, maybe give yourself a little turbo boost by going slightly higher, so loads are faster but not so much you introduce havok and audio issues.

No one's figured it out yet, but they will. Most will just install Ian's F4SE and Anton's HFPF & LLTF and move on with their day, but my guess is it was something they fixed on their end, or the wiping of the .ini and letting the game make a fresh one with the clean install.

I wish. With mods disabled, driver settings set to application default, and clean .ini files does it take a minute for me to load into the game or to fast-travel from downtown to Sanctuary.

Turning off "Save while traveling" helps alot.

I save when closing pip boy or whatever it is.
