Nomads fix to edit G:SteamAppssteamappscommonFallout New VegasFalloutdefault.ini to change from bMultiThreadAudio0 to bMultiThreadAudio1 fixed the stuttering background music problem. Just in case Nomads fix doesnt work Ill leave this link here. Update: I removed some of my advice off here because it was dumb and probably not helpful, however the mod above did fix the problem for me. In case the link is broken, just Google DirectShow Filter Codec Reset, it should be the first result. I decided that since the PipBoy music seems completely unaffected by this skipping (regardless of how many mods or tweaks are made) that having a much further view distance with more detail is preferable to background music.Ĭonvinced myself that having nothing but ambient noises and windsounds effects is more realistic, and chancing playing music out loud with the PipBoy means enemies are more likely to hear you, and adds an extra factor of convenience versus survivabilitystealth. It seems to me the game engine itself is unable to handle that much data at once, regardless of tweaks or the LAA patch.

I did a complete uninstall of the game and every last trace of not just the games install files but the mods themselves.Īfter trying all of this, and some conservative tweaks to make the game run better from after reinstalling, the game runs better than ever, but I noticed that ratcheting up the uGridsToLoad value in Fallout.ini has a noticeable effect on how often the ambient music skips, especially if I have mods andor texture packs running. Hopefully, more people can get this glitch fixed and enjoy this wonderful game without such annoyances.

It could just be a coincidence and if I remember I will update this comment with my results. Ive ran the game both with and without mods, with and without the LAA (Large Address Awareness, forcing the game to recognize more than 2GB of RAM) patch, with a fresh clean install, and Ive uninstalled EVERY single codec and codec pack on my computer, used fresh unmodified.ini files, updated every driver on my system, and even forceably disabled every possible codec (even the Windows default ones) with a program called the Codec Tweak Tool. The broken audio is back in full force today.I did notice that although it does affect both ambient music and pip boy radio music it does not affect NPC voices or Pres.Īll trademarks are property of their respective owners in the US and other countries.
