*SOLVED* Low FPS with Windows 11

[T'Challa]

Back in august, I had about 200 mods installed and I never even noticed any issues with FPS. Now with only 54 mods I can't get anywhere above 34 fps during gameplay. The major difference is back then I had Windows 10 and now I have windows 11. I literally don't have any graphics mods in this load order either.

Oh and its not my hardware either. I've got a 2070 Super and I can run a game like GTA V or Ark and still get around 80 FPS with windows 11. Both have been modded as well.

Would anyone know any tips or tricks to increase the fps for fallout 4?

puede ser que al ser nuevo el sistema operativo, puede que hayan funciones que le quiten recursos a la hora de jugar, en lo posible deshabilite esas funciones que ni utilice y asi tener mas rendimiento, ano ser que ya sea el sistema operativo como tal y esperar que saquen actualizaciones del sistema, a no ser que tengas ryzen y ese sea el problema, ya que se ha visto que hay ciertos problemas de rendimiento con el windows 11 en una pc con ryzen

Try upgrading to windows 10.

(I'm joking)

I know its a joke but the funny thing is, fallout has been the only game Ive played that has this issue. I play stellaris, skyrim, cyberpunk, gta, and ark just to name a few and none of them had this low of a frame rate.

No idea what the problem might be. I hope you can resolve it because I heard that a settlement needs your help.

Check to see if you sill have the direct x version that Fallout 4 requires. I think it is direct x 9.
The upgrade to win 11 may have deleted dx 9. Check Fallout 4 dx requirements to make sure you still have the right version, if not then download and install.
This is just my best quess but if that doesn't help you can uninstall dx 9 or the one F4 requires that you installed.
You can check what versions you have installed in control panel, uninstall a program option.

I heard with nvidia cards there is the disable ammo debris.

Actually I think fallout 4 required the version after 9 as fallout 3 requried dx9 and it would not run on windiow 10 until one of the dx9 dll files was copied into the game folder with the fallout3.exe file.

Though it could still be an issue as windows 11 "depreciated" a lot of the older windows stuff and something in that may be required for fallout 4.

A simple test would be to get and copy the required dx dll files into the fallout 4 game directory where the fallout4.exe file is located from the previous windows 10 if possible and see if that fixes the issue.

If Direct x9 was the case, wouldnt Skyrim Special Edition be affected? Im only assuming that it has direct x9 because it came out before fallout 4 I think.

On a side note, I have noticed that when running skyrim my gpu usage is at 100% and the game somehow runs above 60 fps (around 64 and with 323 mods) even though it shouldn't, I thought it was suppose to be capped at 60 lol. Meanwhile fallout 4 only uses around 50% of the GPU and it us around 35 fps..

My personal opinion is windows 11 is in open beta people adopting it now are Microsoft's testors for the program even if they were unaware of this.

According to information they worked closely with intel developing it and a lot of people who have amd/nvidea gpu/cpus have reported issues and several patches were released to fix some of them. IF possible (as windows 10 sometimes just auto does things) I would suggest those who have not already installed windows 11 hold off for a few months and let the bugs be found and fixed.

That said windows 11 may have "depriciated"(removed) something older games use to control their frames per second.

Now we've all met that guy who thought "Wow! Windows 11 must be better than 10, right?"

load the mods in one at a time, find out which one is lagging the game. Can't make comparisons to Skyrim anymore as their last update(anniversary edition) broke a lot of mods.

[Be-bop]

After thought. Also check if you have the microsoft visual C++ version that F4 requires installed.

When you find the problem come back and let us know what you found. I was about to upgrade to windows 11.

I rolled back my update. I invested too much time in that load order to just throw that away lmao.

But Yeah I'm trying to redownload Fallout now and seeing if that helps.

It has been kind of better for me. Again fallout 4 is literally the only game I've played at this point that cant maintain a decent fps.

Thanks for the reply, and good decision.
