really odd fps drops

Post by **dangwoot** » Fri Jun 20, 2014 2:51 am

can someone take a look at my load order http://pastebin.com/MzyQPCWq i'm having a hell of a time trying to narrow down whats causing my fps drops, goes from 60 to 39 for some strange reason.

I sorted it with loot, tried nv4gb and to no avail

if i deselect all the esm's that aren't essential to run vanilla ttw then it stays pretty much at 60fps with the enb.

I'm running windows 7 64x and have 16gb's of memory , also using the game of the year editions. i just can't for the life of me figure out what's causing it.

Yop!

Maybe it's because of: 23.NVEC Complete + NVCE.esm=1

Are you using the converted version?

available here: http://taleoftwowastelands.com/content/nvec-complete-nvce-compatibility-patch

I never used it yet even for FNV only, so I don't know if this version is working like it should but I've read that this mod without conversion could cause some troubles with TTW.

The ones with the most potential to cause this are NVEC, the lighting mods, and project reality.

I would get a FPS hit anytime the weather would cycle and even more if I was entering a cell with more activity or higher textures. As an example, I have Alton IL mod running when I get near Rivet City and the man hole that takes you to the beginning of Alton my FPS drops. No Alton no drop. Should it effect? You wouldn't think so it's just a man hole but for some reason it does.

For TTW I had to drop NVEC it was just too much for my system, and it doesn't play nice with TTW even with the patch.

It's likely project reality. It's particle emitters for rain are excessively complicated and somehow it ended up with 2 mcm quests running. Here is a modified version I created which fixes those issues.

i guess it was a combo of project reality and my enb that i was using, removed those and the lowest drop i got was around 47fps, i can live with small drops but those one's that make me fall to 40 or less really suck lol. Shame i won't be able to run any kind of weather mod as I've experienced simmilar problems with nskies. guess i'll have to try using sweetfx and dynavision instead of an enb.

EDIT

Tried your version of project reality and it seems the extreme fps drop is gone for now ^_^ , i don't know what you changed but i think it helps. So just no ENB's perhaps i'll make a sweetfx for it.

Edit 2

Or not... i think i'm just gonna start from the bottom and try again, i can't figure it out so i guess the best thing to do would be to start over from scratch.
