Xbox – I can’t make Fallout 4 work

I eventually found someone else who had been having the same issue, and they reported that exiting Raptr before playing solved the issue. I just tested this and the game loaded fine.

To resolve this problem, exit Raptr (assuming you're using it - if not, I'm afraid I don't know)

I have noticed this as well, and I have (more or less) proof: Try to uncap frame rate and enter a new area. The loading time will be significantly lower. As OP says, when capped to 60fps, the loading screen (and its animation) will be much slower and wait so you have time to read the tips. Uncapped, it's almost impossible to read.

The reason for this is because the game speed is related directly to frame rate in this engine, which means going 120fps will double effective game speed. Since the loading screen itself is a very simple animation, it can reach 240+ fps easily, resulting in lower loading times.

Of course, the the same is also true for regular gameplay: NOT capping the game to 60fps will sometimes suddenly make the game speed up and make certain mini-games (like the lockpicking one) a lot more difficult. It's a shame we can't have both, but it seems we're stuck with either unnecessarily long loading times, or sped-up gameplay.

Hopefully, someone will mod this out as soon as possible.
