Framerate Drop near Gorski Cabin (daytime, outside)

[astro]

Experiencing a massive framereate drop near Gorski Cabin during the day. Right in the spot you start in when you fast travel to it. Anyone else getting this?

Looking south towards the city center? Yes i think that spot was why i disabled Godrays entirely on my new PC, got a 40fps drop from otherwise practically constant 60fps.

lol. Really. That's some poor optimization right there, for sures.

To clarify, it dropped down to 40fps, so not a drop by 40fps ;)

There's nothing to see in that spot other than the same trees like everywhere, and after turning off Godrays i could crank everything else back to Ultra / Max and it still runs smooth like butter. Only exception is shadow distance, for which i use Shadowboost with 3000/9000 range caps, 2.5sec delay and 56fps target.


May be worth to note that the Godrays look pretty sweet and are an integral part of the visuals, so after you turn them off you can clearly tell that there is something missing.
But they also create a thick fog in most places, which obstructs gameplay so your VATS will constantly acquire targets that are impossible to see through the Godrays.
