This game is unplayable for me in 2024...

[[H1N1] DALLAS aka THE BAD]

I try everything i read to fix it but it keeps crashing all the time. An update for this game is needed.

-I m playing 57 fps max
-V-Sync On
-Weapons debris Off

What can i do more?

EDIT: Game is working nice now, it was only the HD pack that was making my game crash.

The game runs pretty stable out-of-the-box when one respects the circumstance, such as it being old and needing tweaks for newer Windows version.

Perhaps start by posting your hardware specs so we can see what you are working with.

In any case, verify the game files after a new installation and keep your graphics drivers updated.

an update scheduled for rollout in 6 days, but that's not enough information to say if your crashes are your system or the game itself. we'd need some technical info, system hw specs, software, gpu driver version, etc. as starting point. It could be something simple as a quick fix.

a lot of the problems newbies coming from the tv show don't understand vs people who have been here for years, all Bethesda games are like this, even when they're new not a decade old. They can be a bit hands-on. They sometimes require technical ability. Over half of the users are fine or lucky and it just works, but for those who aren't lucky, will have to troubleshoot themselves to end up with a stable game.

sadly the thing that can help us help you the most, the F4SE framework and a few mods like Address Library and Buffout that help with producing detailed logs useful for troubleshooting, will stop working as soon as that update arrives, and we'll have to wait for it's creator and at least one other mod, Address Library, to be updated for the new version, to get F4SE plugins working again.

and, who knows, the update might fix your exact issue. it's possible. there's just no way to know before it gets here. It could just as easily fix 10 things but break 20 other things, and another update will be right behind that one, and start the process all over again.

it comes down to, do you want to spend hours/days troubleshooting just to start again, or put up with the crashing, or play something else til the 25th?

We are in turbulent times, my friend. Tell us what you want to do, and we'll try to help, though!

I played this game years ago as the others Fallout. It's just not cool to sell a product that is not working properly. Watched the TV Show, reminded me of the great game it was (is) so i bought it on Steam two days ago. I set my screen on 60hz looks like everything is fine till my last crash i think it's no more random crashes but more like if i walk to certain places it crash.

CPU is AMD and graphic card is a 3080TI

I guess i ll wait for the update.

[Pozhinateli]

Install 100 GB of mods, it will make miracles!!

You should be getting far more than 57fps, frankly.

If vsync in the driver is on then check Fallout4Prefs.ini:

[Display]
...
iPresentInterval=0

This will turn vsync in the game off and you can control it from the driver. In the driver should you then cap it to 60fps or whatever you like.

When you go significantly above 60fps will you eventually notice some symptoms like physics running too fast, dialogues cutting out, getting stuck at terminals, etc.. The mod "High FPS Physics Fix" addresses these issues and lets you play at high frame rates.

Otherwise can you set iPresentInterval to 1 to have vsync in the game on and then turn off vsync in the driver for the game (i.e. set to application controlled). A value of 2 means half the refresh rate, meant for the game to run at 60fps with 120Hz monitors.

[ggeymer]

if your monitor refresh rate is >60hz, set it on 60, should fix fps issue

Confused by this statement! you played it years ago meaning you purchased this game years ago right? I am assuming. How did they sell you a product that is not working? you decided to re-install it after many years? possible 1 or several PC changes in that time? maybe? Again I am struggling to make the comparison. Really not trying to slam you here but you jumped immediately at "its the games fault". And I am seriously doubting that and fyi i have a grapics card half of what you have and i play this game heavely modded and maxed on settings without any issue other than the occasional mod issue

I downloaded a razor Fallout 4 years ago and now i bought it for real. Anyway, i guess the next update will do it, i already spend too much time trying to make it work.

Yeah, i know, did it on purpose to avoid crashes but it's not working.

I have a 3080 and a 4080 both with ryzen 9s

game runs out of the box for me

the update you are looking for wont happen. it is more than likely on your side. im not saying the game isnt bug ridden but, crashing is also due to how you have your system set up and what third party apps you are using.

if you didnt disable weapon debris you should in the games launcher.
if you didnt install F4SE and High FPS Fix, you should
if you didnt set exclusion rules in your antivirus for Steams folder (or any folder for apps you use frequently for that matter) you should.
if you have OneDrive active and didnt disable it, you should.

Edit, after hours of crashes i finally did find the problem, "HD textures pack". So it was not my fault, the problem is coming from the game.
