The Water of Life Quest lag

[macariodaal]

Hi I've been enjoying TTW for a long time now and recently decided to do another play through. My pc isn't great but can handle TTW fine on medium setting. Other than the few times the game has crashed, I've had no problem until now. I got to the bit in the main quest The Water of Life, where The Enclave arrive and James dies. But so some unknown reason, it just started lagging a lot. At first I assumed it's just my pc being crap and because there's a lot of stuff going on at the time. So I dealt with it and got to the part where you're in the sewer with al the scientist. At this point I assumed it would be find but it's still lagging. I even closed the game and set all the setting to low. I reloaded the game and for a few seconds it was running fine then is when back to lagging. I have no additional mods added other than a few TTW Optional ones that comes with TTW. 



I have a GTX 460 Graphics Card and 8GB of RAM. The only part of me PC that has been letting me down is my CPU AMD A6-3500. If it's my pc then I will understand but I just don't see how it could go from working fine to lagging so badly. I can barely move. Is anyone else having this problem or is there a patch that I can download to fix this?

Step 3

Set your load order with a mod manager.  Your load order MUST BE:

• 
  FalloutNV.esm


• 
  DeadMoney.esm


• 
  HonestHearts.esm


• 
  OldWorldBlues.esm


• 
  LonesomeRoad.esm


• 
  GunRunnersArsenal.esm
  
  
  
  The Courier's Stash packs are optional.
  
  
  
  • 
    CaravanPack.esm
  
  
  • 
    ClassicPack.esm
  
  
  • 
    MercenaryPack.esm
  
  
  • 
    TribalPack.esm
    
     
  
  
  
  


• 
  Fallout3.esm


• 
  Anchorage.esm


• 
  ThePitt.esm


• 
  BrokenSteel.esm


• 
  PointLookout.esm


• 
  Zeta.esm


• 
  TaleOfTwoWastelands.esm
  
   


• 
  everything else

The 4 Preorder packs must be placed before Fallout 3 and its esm's, while this likely shouldn't be a lag issue a proper load order is important.

Are you using the 4GB utility? http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/55061/? , And for that matter the New Vegas Stutter Remover? http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/34832/? , I'd also use the New Vegas Anti Crash plugin for NVSE http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/53635/? all 3 of those will help game run smoother and with more memory.

I tried all of them but no luck. It's been working fine before that point, it's only after The Enclave showed up, is when it started to lag. I manage to get over 10hr Playtime before that. I set everything up like I was told to and nothing like that has ever happen until then. It seems to be a problem with the save itself because I started a new game and everything is working fine. I think the mistake i made was saving the game while the problem was happening and it seems to have saved the problem with it. Now I'm not sure if I'm going to experience the same thing the next time I get to that point in the game. I managed to do Anchorage and Zeta with no problem.
