Hi guys,

I′ve also the performance problem. It′s total indifferent, which grafic settings I use. I start game with 1080p with ultra settings. At the beginning all is running fine. After a few minutes I get brutal fps drops-stuttering. Every few seconds. My audio then also stutters in these seconds. The game isn′t playable anymore at this moment.

A restart of Fallout doesn′t help. If I do this, then the mentioned problems are present instantly (even in rendered intro clip and menu) My whole System is total slowly after this. For example YouTube Videos in Firefox....Only a PC restart helps.

Specs:

- Fallout version 1.1.30 (installed on my Game HDD E:\)

- Win 10 Pro 64bit

- i5 4670 (not overclocked)

- AMD R9 270x 4Gb(not overclocked)

- latest AMD Beta driver (but the same with other released olders)

- 8GB DDR3 RAM

- Chipset and all other drivers are up to date

Done / tried steps

- added a TdrDelay Key with Value 8 in Registry under \HKEY_LOCAL_MASHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\GraphicsDrivers

- uninstalled and fresh installed different grafic drivers (latest and older versions)

- adjust manually my Windows paging file

- playing with Fallout graphic settings (ultra - medium - options here and there)

- trying overclocking CPU an GPU

- playing with Values in some .ini files

It is always the same situation. The game isn′t playable for me. Please help.

Your issue sounds like it might be a memory leak. That occurs when a program captures memory to work with, but due to a bug doesn't release those resources when it's done. This can cause more and more and more memory being taken up with each iteration of the bugged allocation until you have no memory left. Can you confirm your physical memory usage when this happens?

The odd part is that memory resources taken up by leaks linked to an application are typically released by Windows when an application closes (I'm presuming you're running Windows given the drive naming and hierarchy protocol used). What I'm wondering is if there isn't a different program that's causing the issue outside of FO4. Can you confirm which application is using the most memory resources when this issue happens?

Everyone with NVidia cards, I'd highly suggest updating the drivers. Version 359.00 was released on 11/19 and is supposed to optimise FO4 gameplay. I'm averaging 4-5 fps boost on average thanks to it.

Hi,

no it′s not my memory itselfs (at least not defective) . When it happens, and I take a look to task manager, CPU and RAM are not full used. Both are total relaxed according to TaskManager. And it is Fallout4. All other Games running. Only AVG anti virus is running in background. I haven′t opened other programs or apps. I′m going to gather exact usage count of CPU and memory, if it′s happens. Can do it in few hours after work today.
