Anyone else disappointed with the fallout 4 performance?

[zappian]

So today I set both fallout 4 and witcher 3 at the same settings ( High preset ) on my rig.

 

Both games run at the same framerate . 60 FPS on less populated areas and 40-60 FPS in towns and other more populated areas.

 

Thing is witcher 3 looks magnitudes better and it still runs at the same framerate as fallout 4. One game is demanding because it looks good while the other game is demanding because of poor optimization . When witcher 3 has frame drops I care less because I am happy for what is being presented on the screen.

 

When fallout 4 drops frames it is far more annoying.

 

Fallout 4 is probably the most poorly optimized open world  game this year . MGS V , GTA V , Witcher 3 , Mad Max  have done open worlds on the pc with superb optimization , looking and running perfectly .

 

Bethesda really needs a new engine.

Bethesda (creators of fallout) rely on mods for bug fixes and optimisation

The problem is fallout likes three things you might not have, SSDs, overpowered CPU (i7 or OCed I5) and fast ram (for whatever reason)

 

Is this ideal, no, but it is normal for bethesda at launch as they make great games with many bugs

 

BTW I have all of these things so I'm not dissapointed

I haven't had any fps drops but It does crash a lot and it also uses a lot of CPU usage as well for a game with pretty basic graphics. Never really liked the fallout games but I loved Skyrim, maybe it's just me but Fallout 4 just seems a bit half arsed to me.

They refuse to fix their own shit. What's more to say?

Skyrim had the same issues (same engine minus some tweaks) but I do prefer Skyrim to Fallout 4, due to the themes and style of Skyrim, my favorite Fallout game remains Fallout NV due to several features and design choices made.

I have an i5 4460 that has never failed me in any game.

 

When you need a 5.0 GHZ cpu to run the game properly I would say its more a problem of the game than the hardware.

Yes I am. They should drop this God's forgotten engine. I remember someone from bethesda once said that they are using this engine, because other engines wouldn't allow devs to do stuffs they want to do. It wouldn't allow them to make buggy and badly optimized games...

As I said it has many bugs, more likely the issue is your ram, as many people had an issue on that end

My ram is CL7 1600 MHZ .

 

it has decent speed and low latency . Like I said never had problems with it in any other game.

Oh yes it is the games fault, I'm no denying that, it just likes 2000+ Mhz ram, nothing you can really do about it tbh (except OCing your ram, which may not even help)

I've put quite a lot of playtime in this game and had about 20 crashes. i feel like the mods i have active are causing it but even before i had the mods the game crashed. it doesn't help that there's no error message - it just dumps you to the desktop. 

 

performance is pretty all over the place too. seems like staying indoors is the only sure-fire way to maintain 60fps. otherwise it drops as low as 25fps. i'm pretty conservative with the settings too 

 

guess i'll have to dink around and see if i can fix this

[IMPERIUS]

Yup poor optimisation. Games should take star wars battlefront as an example of good optimisation.

You're alive!  

 

haven't seen you for a while on the forums

Considering I can play Fallout 4 on my 860M, no, I am not disappointed.

Anyone else disappointed with the fallout 4 performance?

 

Just, you know, virtually everyone who's played long enough to get to Boston or any other part of the commonwealth with a close collection of large buildings.  I mean, I expected as much, but I was still hoping that it would have been a little more optimized.  Still, I'm having way more fun with the game than I thought I would.  And I'm struggling not to just go all out and explore every nook n cranny before GECK is released and the floodgates open for mature mods.
