| What to do when lag just pops out of nowhere |
|
Yep yep yep
This is the never edning topic so why should I stop it
The no-cd hack works great and I can now run around in the res I want, distance and everything. The problem I get is that every now and then The fps goes from like 30 or so down to like 5 and I can't do anything about it. I try going into a building and coming back out and sometimes it works but most of the time it doesn't. The only thing I can do to fix it is change the resolution to less and then when the fps goes up I change back to where I was and go back to work...I know everbody else is getting this so what little technique are you all using? |

After several days of enjoying my new ATi Radeon 8500 128MB DDR  , I've seen something similar. I can only conclude that it is a memory leak since rebooting my system after 5+ hours of play erradicates the problem.

My problem happens after like only 1 or so of playing and I have a pretty nice system, even for a laptop. I will just conclude that this game is too memory demanding and I will just have to deal with it. |

I've the same problem and i found out that if i increase or decrease the view distance a little bit and then turn it back to my previous setting the lag is gone. I don't know why but it works for me. |

pretty sure its the massive swapfile Morrowmind creates. I find when it gets bad enough that even exiting and running my memory tweak tool doesn't help my system. Everything moves in slow motion and thrashes the disk until I reboot.
So... I save. And when the lag becomes annoying instead of noticeable I reboot. Take the opportunity while rebooting to do such things as use the washroom, kiss my wife and assure her I'm still alive, eat or drink...

When the lag hits, you would think that I would get up and kiss the wife, but then I say "that is 2 minutes I can be playing Morrowind" It is bad enough that I have to quit playing to eat, sleep and go to work.
I have tried many other things to get this "out of nowhere lag" to go away but changing the resolution seems to be the only way for me since if I had to reboot every time this happens, I will be pretty freakin pissed. It okay though. |
