Thanks Shifter, I do like my RPG's (enough to pay $175 to import morrowind). Whinging isn't going to solve anything, I can play it and enjoy it, so why worry. Plus with some luck I should be able to afford a new Vid card. |

Now that's what I like to hear. Not, wah mommy my fps is only 10 wah..cry boo hoo.
Hear Hear! Best thing I have read on this forum for days |

ARGH! I bought my copy from some guy on eBay, and it's not getting here before Wednesday AT LEAST. Hell, maybe the Monday after. I'm going nuts waiting for this. |

I have a Geforce2 GTS Pro, Athlon XP1800 and running XP ....I was getting about 25fps at 1024x768, and a friend told me he turned off linear lighting and turned on quadratic lighting in morrowind.ini I tried it and gained 20fps, and the lighting actually looks better especially indoors.

That is EXCELLENT to hear. I came across a morrowind.ini tweak to that effect and meant to try it out. Fantastic. |

Been playing now for quite a few hours and this game is bloody great. So great in fact that I don't notice the slow FPS, I'm having fun. That said I'm looking forward to getting my new video card.
Although after a few tweaks I get 20-30 FPS inside which is where i'm spending most of my time now.
All I have to say is - money well spent! |

Zameir, my experience is with your machine and the card you ordered, screen resolution should be AS HIGH AS POSSIBLE. 640x480 won't be faster than 1280x960 then _________________ Rendelius

Been planing since I managed to get home from work yesterday.
With a machinbe P3-550, 512meg ram and a GeForce 2 I am getting 8-10 FPS outside and 10-20 FPS inside
These low FPS don't worry me, the game is good enough to stand outside low FPS. Note that id doesn't make much difference if I play 1024x768 or 1600x1200 the FPS remains much the same. |

Thanks Rendelius, I'm going to go shopping to see if I can find a Geforce today instead of waiting until monday, all I really want is to play it at a bit higher resolution. Things are a bit squashy in 640 x 480 mode, but I can't stop playing this damn game! |

Just got myself a Geforce 4 4400 and Morrowind is now absolutely amazing. I'm getting 50-60 FPS indoors and about 20-30 outside, plus the water looks brilliant. I didn't know what I was missing until now. I'm flat broke but the money was well spent I think! |
