Marauderrr Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Anyone experiencing ridiculously long load times in FO4? I'm sitting around 2 min and getting worse the longer I play. No, I don't have an SSD. Suggestions/fixes?
D_ManXX2 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 The only thing currently that comes to mind if you edited the fallout ini files. if you have patched your game to the latest version then you need to edit falloutcustom ini file and not the original ini file. http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Fallout_4_Mod_Installation#How_To_Enable_Fallout_4_Mods Check this link and compare it to your ini files and make adjustments if needed.
Vulon Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 I had the same issue a while back. Ultimately, the only fix I found was to revert to a completely vanilla playthrough, which I've stuck with for the last two weeks or so. I just backed up FO4 and am currently reinstalling the game to see if I still encounter the excessive load times with mods enabled on a fresh installation.
Marauderrr Posted December 29, 2015 Author Posted December 29, 2015 Thanks for the reply D, but I'm playing an unmodded version here.
Ramses Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 There's a mod I'm working on that helps a LOT. In my own tests, I've reduced load times by as much as 60%, knocking off a full minute in loads. What used to be a 1:45 load time is just under 1 minute now. Also works on all transitions. Technically, I still haven't ironed out all the kinks but I think I'm on the right path and it has ZERO impact on game quality or anything like that. Stay tuned. Contributor link only (sorry) for those interested.

Arhon Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Are you playing Fallout4 on HDD? My load times is 10-20 seconds since i play Fallout4 on my SSD. Altought sometimes its instant(but the chances of this happening are really low due to my CPU being ancient as hell[i5 660 @3.33Ghz] ] EDIT: Nevermind I didnt see that you said you dont have a SSD.... my bad. I would still recommend to get a SSD and put your Windows installation there together with 1-2 games that you play the most (depends on how big the space of your SSD is) Try this mod instead of customizing your Fallout.ini files Fallout 4 Configuration Tool
edtide25 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Will this Fallout 4 texture optimizer help to decrease loading time? http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/978/?
Gameplayer Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Will this Fallout 4 texture optimizer help to decrease loading time? http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/978/? IF the texture sizes are actually as big as he claims.... I'd say yes. 2048x2048 if all the textures are pretty much that big...and he says some are even bigger than that! FUCK............ Geez no wonder people have issues. I got a good box and run Fo4 at around 60FPS but those textures don't need to be 2048 no....they can be 1024 and still look decent heck Skyrim looks decent with 1024 and an ENB preset xD If we reduce the resolution size this would greatly impact the size of the individual files... That would increase the FPS but say you change a cell and there are whole new texture sets to load it should impact that too. I'd say try it out couldn't hurt that bad. _________________________________ What might help a lot is if we can say pack the textures up into a BSA format after chopping them in half with a texture optimizer.... I was just thinkin.... How big are the textures really on the XBOX1? Cause those textures are too big, if the claim is true....that'd really slow down a consol and most PC's that had anything less than the GTX 780 4GB...You'd have to have a 4GB card by Nvidia really cause of Gameworks features... My comp plays so well cause I have a 2nd Nvidia card handling gamework crap. xD
Marauderrr Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 Thanks to all that replied...turns out the issue was a dying HD. Access times would bottom out around 150K a sec. I have three HD's and steam installed across all of them. Fallout is the only game installed on that drive, so I didn't realise it was bombing until I did some system tests. Thanks again.
