Infinite Load screens

[Sterben4]

I've been getting infinite load screens at random, after isolating and removing any mods which had shown consistent problems with this it persists even in new games and I've been using mod organizer to keep my Fallout 4 folder clean, Anybody have any idea of reasons which may be the problem?

You have a lot of mods and it is difficult to say what is causing problems. And if the problem is one mod, the interaction between mods and your system, or FO4 install.

Since you use MO, it will be a lot easier to test.

 

See if a new game without any mods is running clean. If so, fine (maybe you won't be able to test since you won't play 5h of vanilla Fallout just to try to have an ILS, that's fine). See if your specs can support lots of mods. Having a SSD, 16gb+ ram and 4gb+ GPU will not give you problems like this. So, if your system CAN handle all the mods, one thing to note is if the ILS happens really all random or only when near a settlement, or only when going outside... this kind of thing.

 

Back then in Skyrim, the game would run out of memory and cause ILS to happen, mostly because of how the game was developed. I never had any problem with FO4, and i don't know if this can be caused by the same things.

 

Well, i must say that i don't use Fast Travel and this feature actually can cause ILS because of loading everything all of a sudden can make the game stop...

 

So, first of all, instead of removing mods, try disabling VSync from the game, it's the iPresentInterval=0 line from both inis. 0 is disabled. Also disable Vsync from GPU. Now it would be wise to install ENB and limit your FPS, so it won't go to 1000 in the Main Menu and stress your video card.

 

enblocal:
[LIMITER]
EnableFPSLimit=true
FPSLimit=65.0

 

If you don't want to use ENB effects, change this to true: UsePatchSpeedhackWithoutGraphics=false

 

Test the game then. If you wish so, set the textures to low, leave everything as low as possible, because it won't breeak your save and you won't need to remove mods.

 

If it keeps happening, well, maybe try to reset the inis if you ever changed them. You can use BethIni for this (attention for the MO use of it). If you never modified them, i guess there's no use but it's a good advice anyway.

 

I do not have much more to say. If ILS keeps happening, then your mods might be the problem and you will enter in the tedious testing process, disabling a bunch, testing, and so on.

I usually try to separate the mods i think must be causing problems and disable only them first, instead of everything. Go for new npcs, worldspace changes, heavy scripted mods...

 

Also you may want to use mods like Boston FPS Fix to help with performance, if that's a thing for you, and pick loose textures and make ba2 to help lower the load time and the number of files that the game needs to read.

Hope this can help you in any way.

How much of a difference does having an SSD have? Also I've noticed that the game keeps cpu and memory about 30-40% but disk use drops to zero. Has anybody else noticed this as a problem/symptom?

[Di3sIrae]

Well, having a SSD will speed up your system, you can search for more technical info about that, and if you install the game on the SSD, then your computer will read the data much faster than a normal hard disk, thus making faster loading times.

 

As for the disk usage, i usually never analyse what the game is using or not. I may do it later to see about it. Do you monitor your system usage in game or outside of the game (task manager)? Sometimes programs running in the background can slow down your computer and make it perform bad in game, or maybe even changing from Fullscreen to Fake Fullscreen (borderless) can make a difference. In your case, i would do a bunch of tests with the configs.
