Ok, I have a 750 MHz Pentium computer, Radeon 64mb graphics card, 196 mb of ram, and I'm trying to play Morrowind. When I'm indoors, the framrates seems to be fine, and the game is bearable, but outdoors the framerate makes me want to throw rocks at little children. Why is it slower outdoors then indoors? Is there anything that I can do to make the game run smoother? Thanks for yourr help.

Why it is slower outdoors than indoor? I think you know answer. There is much more things that is displaied outdoors than indoors.
If you want to improve your fps, use search and you will find many tips about increasing fps (you need it with your CPU and small RAM).
Here is summary:
1) uninstall
2) defragment (or format)
3) install again
1 - 3 not necessary if you defragmented your disk not long before MW
4) disable all backgrounds programs (visible)
5) use some utility to disable all invisible background programs (if you are skillful PC user, you can use msconfig.exe, just type msconfig into Run in your Start menu)
6) use remove safe disk hack, it will greatly improve performance
7) turn off realtime shadows (big problem for performance even with highest PCs)
8) set visible distance to half
9) AI distance to half
10) 3D sound off (EAX off)
11) make yourself sure you use newest drivers
And try to change in your morrowind.ini
LinearMethod=1
LinearValue=3.0
LinearRadiusMult=1.0
;
UseQuadratic=1
QuadraticMethod=2
QuadraticValue=16.0
QuadraticRadiusMult=4.0
;
Additional shadows cast by NPCs and creatures (more shadows = performance hit):
Number of Shadows=32
Maximum Shadows Per Object=4 |
