| More Frame rate woes...... |
|
My system - p4 1.6ghz, 512 mb ram, geforce4 ti4400, and xp home.
I get about 10-20 fps in city and about 20-30 in the country. I opened task manager to see what was happening and Morrowind is using 97-100% of my cpu? How it that possible? If my 1.6ghz cant keep up how are the 900mhz systems running it?
I tried everything, I've read on this forum and every other board with a suggestion. That includes the cracked exe, or safedisc bypass or whatever you want to call it, latest video and sound drivers, I even copied the disc to my second hard drive and mounted it with daemon tools. I'm at wits end, I emailed tech support and nothing yet.
I'm really disappointed, I had high hopes for Morrowind and I guess I'll shelve it and wait for a patch to fix it.
If you can think of anything or just want console me...jk, I haven't lost my sense of humor. please post here. Thanks,D |

my pc gets 10,000 in 3dmark2001SE and that is considered one of the top scores possible, and my frames go as low as 10 also in morrowind, sometimes 9 with the graphics at max in cities.
It's not your PC, it's the game which requires a pc of tremendous magnitude to run. |

Yeah bs to the max thnx really. Its not your machine its your settings overall. fix it now! ;P no really if you have that you should have more fps
I have atleast 15fps in cities. lower the AI lower the distance. try lowering audio quality aswell. cause if you audio card suxx it brings down everything 
I have 950mhz 100mhzbus gf2 gts 32ddr have been running it on an gf2 mx400 32sdr aswell for comparison. no drops what so ever?? well maybe alittle butt not anything you see if you havent got the fps out.
Also important note is
50-80fps in dungeons/houses etc
40-60 outdoors
citys 15-25fps
sliders to half. AI almost none, shadow, just for the closest being.
Im running in windows 98...<--- important?
when I was running in XP I had fps like 1-7 ?????? what is it with that? |

Hmmm,
I guess I am lucky, it runs really nice on my
Athlon 1200 (getting slow now-a-days)  (
g-force 3 ti 200 clocked up to 200mhz cpu speed
sb live
xp
384 mb pc133 ram
gigabyte (something) m/board....cant remember and too lazy to check model number right now
running at 1600 x 1200
max draw distance
pixel shading on
sound on best quality
I have all other un-necessary progs turned off
I found it ran (seemed to) better in higher res... IE better than in 1024x768...maybe up the res, depending on your card.
turn all virus checking crap off
have ZERO swap size for ram enabled in the systems area of the control panel as well, as you have heaps of ram and it might be using your Hdd for virtual ram slowing things down.
have your system set as a network server in control planel/system/performance (think thats right... am real tired and too lazy to check)
cant think of anything else right now, maybe in the morning I will re-post..
Hope something there helps!> |

Thanks for the help, but nothing seems to work. I'm wondering if the game uses a sliding scale in relation to processor speed. It only seems to hurt top end systems.
I'm playing with everything turned way down and at the top resolution and it's playable, but it looks like crap. All that fog distracts from the beauty they put into this game.
Thanks again,D |

What pisses me off about this whole mess is how on the box they recommend a GF2 GTS or a R7500..
Were they on crack?

Yipee! I just got my copy of MW on Sunday. Playing from 4pm all the way to 12.30am Great game. haven't even crashed on me yet!  initially i was quite worried that my system wouldn't be able to run it smoothly but guess what imho it runs ok. check out my spec.
P3 933Mhz, 320mb SDRAM, 32mb GF2MX (o'c to 182/192 from default 166/175), 20GB 5400rpm h/d, SBLive!Value.
View distance : a little below MAX
AI : 1/4 from MIN
Sound quality : HIGH
Shadow : none
Reso : 1024x768x32bit
Pixel Shader : none of course
AxA : none
Getting average 30-40 in indoors and dungeons, 9-15 outdoors and city. not as smooth but still quite playable. so actually i was quite happy with the performance after reading so much complain on high end systems getting more or less the same fps as mine. so enjoy! it's just a matter of mind over matter if u get my meaning. |
