INumHWThreads=4 (this really helped me - your results may vary) If you have 2 or 4 cores in your cpu, tell Fallout about it in the Documents/My Games/Fallout 4/Fallout 4.ini file (under the general tab): If you cap the frame-rate, it's stuck running all those simulations at 60fps or whatever you capped it at, so a 10 second loading screen can suddenly take 10 minutes.

Unbound frame-rate allows the game to run these physics calculations at the top speed of your CPU. During the 'black' loading screens, the game is actually running many simulations dropping props all over the local world (cars and other debris need to 'settle' into their final resting places). The reason - the game's physics engine is tied to the frame-rate. allow it run the game with unbound frame-rate. Things that affect loading time: capped framerate, cpu, slow drive media.ĭon't do anything fancy with the game's frame-rate in your video card control panel - i.e.
