Choppy Movements

[Axios]

Loving the game so far but I have a slightly strange problem. The game runs smoothly and on max graphics settings (as suggested by the launcher) until i try to move my character. All NPC's seem to move around perfectly smoothly but every move I make seems choppy, especially sprinting which is all over the place. Any suggestions? I imagine this is due to my 3.5GHZ AMD processor not being powerful enough, and no turning the graphics down makes no difference.

Even turning all the graphics options to LOW or OFF doesnt change anything ??? I really doubt that your processor is the cause if even turning everything to low doesnt change anything.

What is important here is your graphics card, ram. Your processor is fine.

Thanks your your reply. The only reason I can think of it being my processor is I have 8GB ram and a Geforce 960 GPU. Both of which should be more than enough I would hope.

This is a common problem. I'm on a 980 and I am getting this movement stutter effect

Can confirm that running the game with better than needed specs on any setting gives me a slightly choppy effect when moving. I find it particularly noticable when walking and looking at the ground.

I have a feeling it's linked to frame rate not syncing. I recall having the exact same issue in Skyrim when aiming bows and I needed to lock the games frame rate at 50 for the stutter to go.

Well this may seem stupid but I'm glad its not just me. Means it may actually be fixed, I'm guessing there are currently no solutions?

same prob with my i5/R9 380 combo mister OP , everything run smooth in the game excepted my character , even if my fps is stable @ 60 i get a weird stutter cycling effect when i walk ... and every ini tweak/graphic setting or whatever i do just dont change anything and make the game barely playable for me ..its not your processor ,its just this damn game.

Go to
Fallout4prefs.ini
Find the sentence that looks like t his
iPresentInterval=1
Set it to
iPresentInterval=0

Should fix your choppiness and also make your mouse much much more lovable.

Ive had trouble with every game bethesda released since fallout 3 with low fps and annoying mouse.

This is the option I ALWAYS change and it always works.

Hope it works for you as well as it does for me

Well I have been unfairly blaming my poor PC. Hope this gets resolved, its the only real problem I have had with this game so far. I should be delving into the depths of another bethesda game I so dearly love... instead Im stumbling along as if Im character has a broken leg

Sad to hear you are one of the ones it doesnt work for. Hope you find another fix for your issue then. :(

Hmm I'm not sure. I think it has helped a little bit but not fixed it entirely. It certainly hasn't done any harm! Thank you for being so helpful though, hopefully a fix for everyone concerned will be released shortly.

Might as well try helping people while im fixing my own issues. I was getting stuck after using computers but found out via reddit it was due to having too high fps after doing the fix i wrote in here. Using a third party software to lower my fps atm but atleast that fixed the issue. :-)

Nonetheless when i started the game up for the first time and saw it locked itself at 30 fps pretty much and my mouse was as heavy as I am fat I definetely needed something to fix that up.

As mentioned ive had trouble with plenty of bethesdas games in regards to fps and i know alot of other ppl has as well so I still dont get why they havent ever looked at that specific problem.

Its the only thing im dissappointed about in their titles cause the gameplay is really superb.

Well thanks for sharing your wisdom. Now that I've had chance to play it a little more I think your fix really has helped. The choppyness is still there sometimes but its less common and not as bad when it happens. Either way the problem has gone from frustrating to mild annoyance which is a big step forward. Hopefully bethesda will fix the issue fully. Thanks though, I can finally get on with my game.
