I just bought the game and I am getting terrible lag at every point of the game so far, I can barely create a character without gettin frustrated with the lag.

 

How can I correct this?

goto this site and tweak oblivion ini config in my documents/games/oblvion

Oblivion Tweak Guide

be sure to change the grass from 80 to 120-140. U may want to try bloom instead of hdr. Turn off some background apps that u don't need while running oblivion.

also, what sort of system, vid card do u have.

Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 vid card

 

System wise it is also compatible, according to specifications on the box.

 

Specifications on the box are ridiculous. I exceed the recommended hardware and I can't play on the default settings with acceptable frame-rates.

Defrag your harddrive and turn off unnecessary programs that you're running in the background. That includes AntiVirus software while you're playing.

But turning the graphics on low makes the game into Morrowind.

 

 

I disagree. Oblivion at crap details is still much better than Morrowind on the highest settings.

 

You have to remember Bokishi, you are a graphics whore.

I preferred it to Morrowind myself. Faction storylines were better, the main quest was fairly interesting (especially the ending). Scaling was a pain sometimes but never a massive problem.

Okay, you tried to run a next gen game on a 2 generation old video card? HAHAHAHAHA!

 

I have to question one's intelligence if a person does that. First off this game is built around Pixel Shader 2.0 while our video card can handle only 1.1. Man, I hope you aren't planning to get NWN 2 with that card.

 

HAHAHAHAHA!

I just finished the game, or the main quest at least. :p I had lags quite a lot, and that was with a FX6600GT card. It wasn't bad for the most part, although living within a 10m-diameter pool of grass that moved with me was rather distracting for a while. This card isn't really up to running the game well, though, and I'm thinking of getting something better next month.

I never buy those games anyways, if it is not SW I usually don't buy it for PC...A trusted friend said it was good, so I decided to try it.

 

You don't have to be a shmuck about it. Anyone with your style of critique on operating systems and cards must be a lonely person.

 

Get out in the sun once and a while, maybe meet a real girl...its good for you.
