Clutter

[etherdemon]

Salutations,

 

           I have no general problems running TTW in the Desert (all I need now is a horse with no name) but the DC area randomly starts stuttering and giving me memory issues, I have noticed there is a LOT more general clutter in the DC area than there is in New Vegas. I would therefor, like to request a 'De-Clutter DC' mod. The only other issues I have are relatively minor, and I am educating myself on companions and companion editing, so I can attempt to fix them (and share them here).

Thank you for your time,

When you're rendering millions of triangles on screen, it really doesn't matter if you add a few thousand more.

What really impacts performance are texture resources and the number of different textures which have to be loaded into memory. And other things. You may want to try changing your graphics settings if the game is not running smoothly enough as you would like it to be. Fallout 3 should be your benchmark for optimal graphic settings, not NV - DC isn't 'cluttered' so much as NV is 'empty' and mostly unlit.

Removing content - and 'clutter' doesn't describe anything, specifically - is almost always a bad idea. There is the increased likelihood of incompatibility with other mods. And no real clear performance boost.

Tricky is right. Also if you're not already, try running the game with a 4GB enabler, which will let Fallout use more RAM, potentially reducing stutter if the issues is just the game running out of RAM. There is also an NVSE stutter remover plugin, not sure how well it works, but it should be worth a try.

Swear by it for low end systems. My rig eats fallout alive and I'm still running it just for the micro stutter remover (which admittedly it's doing less of even though that's why it was written) and fast exit. Got a ton of tweaks but those are the only ones I really mess with.
