| What about Pixel-Shaders? |
|
Well I'm from Germany and I bought the game about a week ago. I had to buy the American version because the localisation will take about 1/2 year. Then I'll be able to give the American game back tó the store where I bought it and get the German version! ...
However here's my problem:
I got an Athlon XP 1800+
256MBDDR Ram and a
Radeon8500 (built by ATI) 64DDR !
The game (I didnt play it for a long while) doesnt really stutter but I had to reduce the view distance and the shadows to make it working properly.
If I activate the PIXEL SHADERS (which are supported by my graphics card!) the game freezes right at the beginning, when I want to leave the galleon!
Is there anyone who knows how to solve my probs?!
Thanx! |

THIS IS WHY THEY ARE NEVER GOING TO FIX THIS GAME!! To many of you defend it like its your ******* life. Yes this game will play and is playable. But like i have said over and over and over. The stuttering and frame rate jumping all over the place gives you a headache after a while. Youre full of **** if you sit there and say it plays perfectly smooth. I have run this game on almost every video card in existence and i get the same crappy buggy gameplay. I agree completely with you on this problem. And here are my best comp specs.. Athlon 2100xp ..Geforce4 ti4600.. 512mbddr ... |

Mamovaka you are absolutely right about people not noticing choppiness in games. Its very wierd. I know a few people who play games choppy and crappy and dont notice anything. Shakes head in confusion.  |

I find the framerate quite ok, it's not the fastest game ever though, but it's liveable.
But the thing that makes me wanna scream out after a while and that makes me wanna break the game cd in thousands of pieces and tear out all my hair it the stopping to load scenery thing, suddenly , like every 100 feet or so you walk outside it stops to load, sometimes there's a progress bar loading sometimes not, is it this you refer to as stuttering or the generally random drop in framerate?
I think the stopping to load scenery bit is by far the most annoying thing in the game and it makes me wanna curl up into a ball and cry sometimes
Yes I run it without safedisk, I run minimal amounts of programs in the bg, it happens whether I have it set on full detail/view and all that or low!
And it's just about exactly the same on 2 completely different pcs one with a celeron 500 and a slow 5400RPM udma33 hdd the other an athlon xp 1700+ with a WD 7200rpm udma 100 hdd...
I guess it's when the game loads new cells, but it still makes me insane! |

They announced they were working on a patch weeks ago. |

Yes a patch. The patch could be for anything. I hope it can fix this game because it is one of my favorite of all time. But just because they are working on a patch and release it doesnt mean anything.  |

I'm one of these people and I do notice it... just I guess we're not comming from the same place. I'm not looking for the game to be 'real' as in like tv or a movie... hmm this is hard to explain. I guess the best example I can give is like how I still really like the EGA graphics for the old sierra games becuase they give them a kind of story book feel and even tho you would think that distances you from the game it doesn't, it kind of kicks in your own imagination... or something  |

Heres my specs. AMD Athlon 1.2gig, 384mb RAM, Geforce4 MX440 overclocked to/past a G4 Ti4600 (core = 290 memory = 500, though doesnt have pixel shading feature) I have the Geforce tweak utiltiy, with 'quality' settings, such as texture is highest/sharpest quality, but FSAA is OFF. 1152x864 resolution. With view distance to 50-60% I get about 15 FPS average in cities, and 30-40 frames indoors. The Unreal (tournament) engine can render an indoor setting identicle to Morrowind with graphics set to max and get 60-90 framerates(on my comp anyway). Im not getting any of these 'stuttering' problems people are talking about, well, the only thing I can relate it to is when ive been running for a while outdoors and it stops for a second, then comes back without a "LOADING" sign ever coming up. This personally does not bother me, as it only happens when running long distances and doesnt happen enough to agitate me, as its only there for a second. The game loads pretty fast in general methinks. But yeah Morrowind does have some graphic issues which will hopefull be fixed in the next patch. I have the NO-CD patch for my copy. |
