(With .DLL fix) FPS is great...then just drops :( : Fallout: New Vegas

» Sat May 28, 2011 11:22 pm

Hi,

I've managed to find older drivers for my 8800gt, ver. 8.15.11, and the game runs great... but not for long. My save is set for the Mojave Wasteland, the first appearance. I can walk around for 2 or 3 minutes with 60 frames, med/high settings, but then the fps just drops. Has nothing to do with npcs because it happens in barren areas as well, and my fps seems the same near npcs anyways. (I had a bad slow-mo npc lag problem before, thankfully that's dealt with).

I also find that if I go to the menu and then return to the game that my fps is solid again for another 10 seconds at which point it drops.

I'm not sure what to do, but clearly the game is trying but some sort of leak or problem is killing my framerates. Game looks no different than Fallout 3 visually (which ran at 60fps for my entire play through).

Any help would be appreciated. I've got the d3d9.dll in my folder. Settings are med, I've experimented with AA and view distances, water multisampling to low as well. I've messed with iFpsClamp too, but that would give npcs a slow motion effect.

Edit: I should also mention that no overheating is occurring since I've been monitoring it.

Specs:

Core 2 Duo E8400

defrag?

I'm having an identical issue. I've tried the iFPSClamp fix and the .dll fix but nothing seems to work. The game runs perfectly for a minute or so upon starting but quickly degenerates to <5 fps. Here are my system specs and a DxDiag in the spoiler:

hi - are you using quicksave? I had never used the quicksave feature but decided to save some time and used it. My fps would then tank to slide-show speed. I know this was an issue in fo3 in certain circumstances. Anyhoo, just sayin.

» Sat May 28, 2011 8:11 pm

sounds like your gpu keeps reverting down to low power 3d mode after a while and not reverting back.

nvidia control panel and make sure its running at "prefer maximum performance" under manage 3d settings

I played BC2 for a whlile and had the same issue, unfortunately the game would ALWAYS run in low power 3d mode and never change, no matter what i did it woudlnt get off of low power 3d and the only solution for me was to reinstall my OS, while drastic i deemed it necessary for i couldnt play a shooter at >30 fps but after the reinstall i could play with a constantly high fps never going under 55. (and no, reisntalling the drivers didnt help or reverting to older ones)

hopefully your case isnt the same

the other thing that it could be is that your gpu is running out of video memory and you may have to lower some things, that is if you have AA on or other things.

Hi guys,

I may have the solution for you. Had the very same issue in Fallout NV and in Mafia 2 (also running on Windows 7).

Specifically, this happened when I ran the game at 2560x1600 resolution. That requires a lot of memory, and probably because the game ubersvcks a memory leak brings the whole thing down after some time.

Anyway, in both games the issue of dropping FPS (from 60 to 6-7) after a few minutes playing was solved by lowering the resolution (in my case to 1920 x 1200). Don't know if this works for you, give it a try.

In any case, can't play this piece of trash game anymore, every time I tried to load up a save the loading screen starts flickering, I can hear the sound in the background as if the game had loaded (and the character is responding to keyboard controls, for example if I push the key to bring up the pipboy, I can hear from the sound effect that the pipboy IS loading), but the lading screen still stays.

Good luck...

I thought it might be the resolution too, but that wasn't the case. I've tried lowering it to the lowest setting and still no luck. I can't seem to figure out what might be the cause. I've tried changing the video card power settings to maximum performance and the game settings are as low as they can go. It works like a charm for up to 5 min but then permanently drops to an unplayable state. I've noticed that my CPU is heavily loaded when the frame rate drops dramatically. Before my performance drops it hovers between 85-95% but then it shoots up to 100% and holds there until I'm forced to quit. Does that indicate anything?

I know the game is quite buggy, but your trouble sound like your pc is overheating, maybe try to dust inside and put him farther from the wall.
