Alright thanks I'll give it a try. I was just a bit put off by some of the descriptions in the ini that made it sound rather experimental, for example: "; Info: Crash happens during loading, no idea. Might be related to rendering. ; Address: D822D8 ; Solution: Tried patch something but it probably doesn't work." which is enabled by default :D. I'll see if it helps anyway though.

Sorry probably should have mentioned that I am running Windows 7 (I created a dual boot just for Skyrim :D) so the 4gb limit should not be a problem; besides, while running Skyrim Performance Monitor I do not ever seem to go above 3.5gb of RAM or VRAM anyway. After resetting my ini files and reinstalling DynDOLOD with the latest version the stuttering seems to have been reduced substantially (at 256mb reserved); I've noticed that it's almost absent in exteriors (some is always to be expected anyway, of course) but seems worse in the cities, at least in Windhelm where I tested. Nevertheless, I think it's at an acceptable level now, thanks for your input. :) Do you mind, though, if I ask you about general stability as well? Not sure if I'm allowed to sidetrack my own thread :p or if I should ask considering this is in DynDOLOD support :D. I'll just paste this into a new thread if you prefer. Just that I'm getting random CTDs on save load, cell load and in exteriors and cities (not sure about interiors with limited testing so far); they're not that often but I'm not sure what's causing them. Like I said RAM and VRAM do not exceed 3.5gb according to SPM and memory blocks log showed Block 1 reaching a maximum of 496mb before my latest crash in Windhelm (that's after about 20 minutes of running around the map at ground level). I use your memory patch through SKSE. I don't think this is a load order issue as I spent a long time going through conflicts in xEdit and resolving them to the best of my ability. I suppose the next step will be to try Papyrus Logging. Thanks for any advice on this :)

I noticed a consistent microstutter when I started testing my attempt at a fully modded Skyrim build. It is only present in exteriors. After trying many different enb and driver settings I found that running a save without DynDOLOD installed eliminated the microstutter completely. I tried generating a DynDOLOD output with the low, rather than medium, setting but this made no difference. I am running a large load order but the only mod relevant to DynDOLOD is the Skyrim Flora Overhaul (basic).

Thanks, sorry I forgot to check the forum!

I've discovered a very strange issue with companions in Fallout 3. As I add items to their inventory, they eventually reach their carry weight cap as usual and I can no longer add items. However, if I then reenter their inventory, I can continue adding items for a while again until they hit another limit. Sometimes this can take a few attempts. Repeating this effectively gives them infinite carry weight. I forced my companion's carry weight to 300 with the 'forceav' command and then started this process by adding items to their inventory; each time I hit a new limit I would check their carry weight using 'getav' and it will have increased. I have tested this on Fawkes and Star Paladin Cross. I followed the STEP Fallout 3 Guide (https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Kelmych/Fallout3) and as such have the FWE Followers Enhanced Plugin and JIP Companions, which might be relevant. Thanks for any advice on this :)

Sorry, I wasn't very clear. The drifting occurs on all weapons; I was just mentioning that the assault rifle sight is actually stuck in the wrong position rather than just drifting so I think it's a separate issue. I have quite a few mods related to RH Ironsights as suggested by the STEP Guide so I'll just post my load order; some of the listed plugins are disabled and merged by bashed patch: [spoiler=Load Order] 0 0 Fallout3.esm 1 1 Anchorage.esm 2 2 ThePitt.esm 3 3 StreetLights.esm 4 4 BrokenSteel.esm 5 5 PointLookout.esm 6 6 Zeta.esm 7 7 Unofficial Fallout 3 Patch.esm 8 8 CALIBR.esm 9 9 Advanced Recon Tech.esm 10 a aHUD.esm 11 b iHUD.esm 12 c Mart's Mutant Mod.esm 13 d DCInteriors_ComboEdition.esm 14 e Project Beauty.esm 15 f EVE.esm 16 10 Mothership Crew.esm 17 11 AWorldOfPainFO3.esm 18 12 Vault 101 Revisited.esm 19 13 CRAFT.esm 20 14 FO3 Wanderers Edition - Main File.esm 21 15 GeorgetownExpansion.esm 22 16 tubrrCompound.esm 23 17 Enhanced Weather - Rain and Snow.esm 24 18 RH_IRONSIGHTS.esm 25 19 Xepha's Dynamic Weather.esm 26 1a FO3 Wanderers Edition - Alternate Travel.esp 27 1b DarNifiedUIF3.esp 28 1c MetroCars.esp 29 1d FortIndependenceRedesigned.esp 30 1e The Mantis Imperative - Mantis.esp 31 1f FO3 Wanderers Edition - Main File.esp 32 20 FO3 Wanderers Edition - DLC Broken Steel.esp 33 21 FO3 Wanderers Edition - DLC Anchorage.esp 34 22 FO3 Wanderers Edition - DLC Mothership Zeta.esp 35 23 FO3 Wanderers Edition - DLC The Pitt.esp 36 24 FO3 Wanderers Edition - Followers Enhanced (BrokenSteel).esp 37 25 WeaponModKits.esp 38 26 UUF3P - FWE Patch.esp 39 27 RH_WMK_Bridge.esp 40 28 WeaponModKits - FWE Master Release.esp 41 29 Realistic Interior Lighting.esp 42 2a Advanced Recon Gear.esp 43 2b Advanced Recon Tech.esp 44 2c Advanced Recon Tech FWE.esp 45 2d JIP Realistic Weapon Overheating.esp 46 2e JIP Selective-Fire.esp 47 2f JIP Companions Command & Control.esp 48 30 CASM.esp 49 31 tubRRCompound.esp 50 32 The Mantis Imperative - Jello.esp WeaponModKits - FWE Talon Loot Crash Fix.esp 51 33 HeirApparent.esp 52 34 Enhanced Weather - Weather Sounds in Interiors.esp 53 35 Xepha's Dynamic Weather - Dynamic Sneak Bonus.esp Xepha's Dynamic Weather - Green Tint Remover.esp 54 36 Xepha's Dynamic Weather - Rain.esp 55 37 Xepha's Dynamic Weather - Sandstorms.esp 56 38 Xepha's Dynamic Weather - Weather Machine (Start Game Added).esp 57 39 Laurens_Bathroom_poetry_V1.esp 58 3a lexx_brahmin-variant-Fo3.esp 59 3b FO3 Wanderers Edition - More Gore.esp 60 3c WeaponModKits - BrokenSteel.esp 61 3d WeaponModKits - OperationAnchorage.esp 62 3e WeaponModKits - ThePitt.esp 63 3f WeaponModKits - Zeta.esp 64 40 WeaponModKits - PointLookout.esp 65 41 FO3 Wanderers Edition - DLC Point Lookout.esp 66 42 PLweightadjust.esp 67 43 NotSoFast.esp 68 44 BaileysCrossingMetro.esp 69 45 CALIBRv14 Ammunition Schematics for FWE-WMK-CRAFT-V1_3-18639.esp 70 46 BBBackpacks-v1-1.esp 71 47 Museum.esp 72 48 K9BreedsMoreDogs.esp 73 49 Kentbury Way.esp 74 4a Dree Perks.esp 75 4b CanterburyCommonsInteriors.esp 76 4c AutoGates.esp 77 4d Delay ThePitt + Anchorage.esp 78 4e DelaySteel.esp 79 4f IntoTheDeepWoods.esp 80 50 Existence 2.0.esp 81 51 DelayThePitt.esp 82 52 FWEAlienWorkBenchFix.esp 83 53 delayzeta.esp 84 54 MTCBigTownRobotFix.esp 85 55 Better RC Church.esp Mart's Mutant Mod - DC Interiors.esp 86 56 MegatonHouseExtraStorage.esp 87 57 UrgeWashingtonBoS.esp Flora Overhaul.esp 88 58 K9Breeds.esp K9BreedsPatchDLCPitt.esp 89 59 FeralGhoulTest.esp 90 5a GlowingGhouls-MMM.esp 91 5b RagdollOverhaulFo3.esp 92 5c Tribal_DX.esp 93 5d BornAgain Outcast v3.esp Chems and Meds Re-Textures Pack.esp Paradise Lost - Unique Texture and Icon.esp majormodder's Junk Food to Barbeque Crisps.esp 94 5e schematics2.esp 95 5f Conelrad 640-1240.esp 96 60 GNR Enhanced.esp 97 61 DelayAnchorage.esp 98 62 delaypl.esp 99 63 PLFewerItems.esp 100 64 Brahmin Dairy Products.esp 101 65 megalight.esp Zeta Turret Drone Karma Fix - MMM Merged.esp 102 66 WinterizedT51bDX.esp 103 67 PlasmaRifleAwesomefiedWMK.esp 104 68 RH_FWE_Bridge.esp 105 69 Assaultrifle_replacers_WMK+RH+FWE.esp 106 6a Blackened FWE + MMM + EVE + Project Beauty.esp 107 6b Blackened RH + FWE + EVE.esp Millenia_AK47_replacer.esp 108 6c Xepha's Dynamic Weather - Main + DLC Merged.esp 109 6d Bashed Patch, 0.esp 110 6e (TWPC) BBB-UUF3P-FWE Patch.esp 111 6f (TWPC) BFO-MMM-EVE-UUF3P-FWE Patch.esp 112 70 (TWPC) BRCC-PB Patch.esp 113 71 (TWPC) BVR-FWE Patch.esp 114 72 (TWPC) CMRP-FWE Patch.esp 115 73 (TWPC) GE-UUF3P Patch.esp 116 74 (TWPC) K9B-MMM-UUF3P-FWE Patch.esp 117 75 (TWPC) MMM-EBTMGFWE-UUF3P-FWE Patch.esp 118 76 (TWPC) RRE-PB-FWE Patch.esp 119 77 (TWPC) TMI-FWE Patch.esp 120 78 (TWPC) WD-UUF3P-FWE Patch.esp 121 79 (TWPC) WMK-UUF3P-FWE Patch.esp 122 7a FO3LODGen.esp EDIT: Ok so I tested the game with absolutely nothing other than RH Ironsights (and a quick new game mod) and I set iFPSClamp to 60; the drift still occurs.

*bump*

I've found one other post about this issue but it was a couple of months old and didn't present any solution (https://forum.step-project.com/topic/9872-solution-wanted-for-iron-sights-drift). This is related to the known conflict between RH Ironsights and the Fallout Stutter Remover. Over time the iron sights drift either vertically or horizontally until your view is blocked by the weapon; this is not at all related to the intentional drift which is part of the mod as this still occurs when drift is disabled. I've found this to be easily reproducible by moving the camera up and down while looking down sights; they will quickly drift off course and then remain in that position even after re-equipping the weapon. Disabling stutter remover fixes the problem. Setting the frame rate limit to 54 fps (idk) in the stutter remover ini file also fixes it, although for me at least this is just a temporary fix. :) If anyone has an alternative solution I would appreciate instructions for it. :) I will continue troubleshooting, changing settings in the ini and perhaps using an older version of stutter remover. For anyone else having the problem it might be worth checking if you can run the game without stutter remover; I was somehow able to run the game without it on my last build without microstutter and so didn't encounter the ironsights problem. Specs: Windows 10 64bit Nvidia GTX 980, latest drivers On a sidenote, my ironsights on the assault rifle were off, although not drifting, even without stutter remover. It seems to be a separate issue so I'm wondering if anyone has an idea for the cause of this. The texture for it is coming from the Weapon Enhancement Pack so that might be the culprit. Update: In an effort to bypass using Stutter Remover I tried the iFPSClamp edit; I know this messes up the physics as the frame rate dropped but figured that this was the best compromise. I inserted iFPSClamp under General in Fallout.ini under Mod Organizer and set it 60, also making sure that iPresentInterval was set to 1 in FalloutPrefs.ini. Microstutter was gone, but after a while the ironsights started to drift off again! I even started a clean save to make sure there was no stutter remover and made sure it was deactivated; it seems that iFPSClamp also causes ironsight drift. Are there any other methods anyone knows of to eliminate microstutter while bypassing the stutter remover and not getting ironsight drift? Update 2: Setting iFPSClamp seems to fix it; I ran around shooting things with a hunting rifle for about 10 minutes and the sight didn't budge so seems fairly consistent. No stutter either of course. This might be a solution if anyone's looking for one. :)

Well that makes a lot more sense now; thank you very much for taking the time to explain. I guess the software AA looked so bad I thought it was disabled! :D I'm wondering why this wasn't mentioned on the STEP guide though, maybe I should make a suggestion if there's a way to do that.

*bump* Also I don't really mind which antialiasing I use, I'll happily use vanilla AA, I just want the memory benefits of ENBoost.

I installed ENBoost as instructed on the Fallout 3 STEP guide (https://wiki.step-project.com/User:Kelmych/Fallout3#ENB_Series), disabling antialiasing and anisotropic filtering in falloutprefs.ini and enabling them in enblocal.ini. However, in game there doesn't appear to be any AA. ENBoost is definitely activated. I tried the injector version as well with the same settings, with the same result. I even tried disabling AF and AA in enblocal.ini and re-enabling them in falloutprefs.ini, but it's still absent. Removing all of the enb files brings it back. I want to use ENBoost for its stability but I can't get past this antialiasing problem. Specs: Windows 10 64bit EVGA GTX 980, latest drivers Using Mod Organizer Thanks in advance :) Edit: It might also be worthwhile mentioning that the grass texture seems to break as well, just becomes very low resolution. Am I just missing something obvious?
