Updated drivers but still really bad micro stutter and fps drops when at primm. Anyone know a fix yet?

This.

Im running the game on a GTX280, Q6600 and have 8GB RAM. Even when I drop the graphics settings to low there is a deal breaking microstutter which drops the framerate to a crawl making the game unplayable for me. Its not limited to primm, its been happening to me from the start of the game.

Seems like nvidia have reproduced a problem in the drivers relating to frameskipping

Anyone got a working tactic against deathclaws? I'm level 24, have 2 companions and I still get ripped to bits...

My traditional tactic is **** one off, scream like a little girl, run away, get eaten.

Avoiding them like the plague seems the best tactic, though i have found dropping a few frag mines can help you escape them by crippling a leg or 2.

See one comming > VATS aim for a leg > drop a mine > run away and hope you cripple it.

Invest in a light machine gun

but on saying that it was a young one i killed. ill go give it a go now

Edit\\\\

On second thoughts the light machine gun had no affect on a normal deathclaw

Incinerator! works wonders on deathclaws

jackthezipper · 28 Oct 2010 at 10:30

Sniper rifle with a high guns from a distance

Incinerater ammo works great as well.

666_Pounder · 28 Oct 2010 at 11:21

Go the long way round

I made it through the whole thing without having to actually kill a Deathclaw, I tried many times but it just wasn't happening.

Agreed.

Got to the deathclaw quarry bit, with the mother and alpha (omg how big are they lol!)

Killed all of them from afar with the incinerator (on a conveyor belt connected to a building). Took around 10 minutes with ~300 ammo but I got there in the end.

The NO_STUTTER.BAT fix has helped a lot, thanks.

Bah even tho microstutter went away i did the ghosttown mission where u kill the power gangers in the start town with help and fps went right down i had to use vats otherwise i couldnt aim or keep track of stuff cos of the bad fps. I even went to high settings instead of ultra but made no diff and i aint gona play on medium thats for sure as my comp should handle this game with ease considering the crap gfx (low res stuff).

I hear of a dx9 dll to fix npc slowdown but will it compromise on quality at all or is it best to wait and find a better solution (if it ever comes).

Just bought this after trying to delay it until after I started my new job.

Have played Oblivion 3-4 times - is the character creation just as critical in the beginning, and subsequent levelling?

Is there an online character creation thingymejig, like there was with oblivion? All I can find are tips and videos of the character creation process.

HW91 · 28 Oct 2010 at 13:27

best way to kill the deathclaws is with a lot of steady and the anti material rifle or the gobi scout campaign rifle

Paul_cz · 28 Oct 2010 at 14:39

It is awesome that deathclaws are again unkillable fearsome killing machines, like they were in fo1 : )

SkeeterUK · 28 Oct 2010 at 14:48

That dx9 dll fixed it, almost always constant 60fps now even in firefights with a lot of npc.

npjnpj · 28 Oct 2010 at 15:26

Just came across a deathclaw for the first time a few days ago.

Hell, it reminds me of my 'pet' from Black & White. I didn't think I'd ever see that again!
