Has anybody tested the new official beta patch? http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm
Almost forgot, another possible reason Oblivion may be playing better was because I also updated my nVidia drivers. Every other program seems to be running just a bit better now since I downloaded the new drivers, actually.
The fix is for the fx series cards that the box was stated to be compatible. It did absolutly nothing for me on my 9200se, The only changes are for FX users which I am not. Only FX cards and the only reason Bethesda made this patch, WAS because they messed up on the initial requirements for FX users. Supported Video Card Chipsets: ATI X1900 series ATI X1800 series ATI X1600 series ATI X1300 series ATI X850 series ATI x800 series ATI x700 series ATI x600 series ATI Radeon 9800 series ATI Radeon 9700 series ATI Radeon 9600 series ATI Radeon 9500 series NVIDIA Geforce 7800 series NVIDIA GeForce 6800 series NVIDIA GeForce 6600 series NVIDIA GeForce 6200 series NVIDIA GeForce FX series
I am eager to apply it tonight, because I really want to see both the fix listed earlier (For my draw distance issue) and this new fx patch...... It's upsetting when they list your video card and don't support it. :/ But at least it's being made to work now, which is good. Thanks again to all for being so helpful! I really appreciate it. I do find it ironic that the 5700 is considered a low end fx card. Considering the 5700le is actually one of the best performers in the FX series, second to the fairly rare FX5950.... I've never seen any other software have issue with this card; everything else runs flawlessly. BF2, FarCry, HL2, CS:Source, etc, etc. It's just so weird that they had this issue in the first place. But hey, they fixed it, so I'm happy with my 'low end fx card'. Happier than I would be with a 6200. lol.
I also have the purple grass problem... cant get rid of it... not even using the fLODLandVerticalBias=-1000.0000 command in the .ini seems to be the only problem i have.. no framerate issues or other graphical issues.... its really spoiling my game anyone got any clues.. email me or reply here pllleeasseee im using a 6800gs btw with over a Gig of ram.
I have green or grey "blobs" that don't have collision all over my terrain, or I can't see distant landscape. How do I fix that?My oblivion.ini file doesn't include fLODLandVerticalBias. please help me!! :'(
@ BLASTR Q: I have green or grey "blobs" that don't have collision all over my terrain, or I can't see distant landscape. How do I fix that? A: You have to edit your Oblivion.INI and change fLODLandVerticalBias from 0 to -1200 (yes, minus 1200). Check these distance settings in the OBLIVION.INI file. In order to fix the Land issues: Open your oblivion.ini and make the changes listed below. (The ini located in My Documents\My Games\Oblivion is what you are looking for). The file located in your Oblivion game directory which is called Oblivion_default.ini is NOT what you want to edit.) [LOD] fLodDistance=500.0000 bUseFaceGenLOD=0 iLODTextureTiling=4 iLODTextureSizePow2=8 fLODNormalTextureBlend=0.5000 bDisplayLODLand=1 bDisplayLODBuildings=1 bDisplayLODTrees=0 bLODPopTrees=0 bLODPopActors=0 bLODPopItems=0 bLODPopObjects=0 fLODFadeOutMultActors=9.0200 fLODFadeOutMultItems=11.0800 fLODFadeOutMultObjects=13.3200 fLODMultLandscape=1.0000 fLODMultTrees=1.7426 fLODMultActors=2.0000 fLODMultItems=2.0000 fLODMultObjects=2.0000 iFadeNodeMinNearDistance=400 fLODFadeOutPercent=0.9000 fLODBoundRadiusMult=3.0000 fTalkingDistance=2000.0000 fTreeLODMax=2.0000 fTreeLODMin=0.0200 fTreeLODDefault=1.2000 fObjectLODMax=15.0000 fObjectLODMin=1.0000 fObjectLODDefault=5.0000 fItemLODMax=15.0000 fItemLODMin=1.0000 fItemLODDefault=2.0000 fActorLODMax=15.0000 fActorLODMin=2.0000 fActorLODDefault=5.0000 bLODUseCombinedLandNormalMaps=0 bForceHideLODLand=0 fLODQuadMinLoadDistance=65536.0000 fLODFadeOutActorMultInterior=1.0000 fLODFadeOutItemMultInterior=1.0000 fLODFadeOutObjectMultInterior=1.0000 fLODFadeOutActorMultCity=1.0000 fLODFadeOutItemMultCity=1.0000 fLODFadeOutObjectMultCity=1.0000 fLODFadeOutActorMultComplex=1.0000 fLODFadeOutItemMultComplex=1.0000 fLODFadeOutObjectMultComplex=1.0000 fLODLandVerticalBias=-1000.0000
I patched it this morning, and it has all kinds of weird issues.... I'm going to take a look at it again when I get home. But I was seeing failures and crashes at load; a couple times it wouldn't even load the intro video...... Weird. I will try reinstalling and starting over again. I'll let everyone know. So far this 'FX' patch seems to really like my FX5700le..... lol
I need to upgrade my Video Card and I was wondering if anyone would post some suggestions... I have a P4 2.5, 512k, and a Ti4200. I know my memory is low, but I thought getting a new VC will definatley get this game playing. I am also going to have this going to a 42" Westinghouse 1080p HD monitor so I will be needing a card with a lot of resolution. Can anyone give me some ideas??
The top link for the patched oblivion.exe doesn't seem to be working. It takes me to the megaupload site and doesn't have anything to click on for download. Am I missing something? If so, can someone PM it to me? I've already tried using the Oldblivion program, and it doesn't seem to run at all (hourglass comes up then goes). I'm thinking it's that .exe file... -cViSi0Nz-
The file is there. Since is is FREE HOSTED there is an AD first, And about a minute delay after before you can download the file. Try again and make sure you CLOSE the megauplpoad links box. The link will appear underneath that box.
well, my pc runs it on perfect graphics, no lag no problem. everything is highest, nothing anywhere on my pc can go higher. and this game just cant beat my pc. u guys should get urself a 7800gtx 256mb 256 mbit and 2gb ddr2 ram and a 3.6 dualcore p4. it helps
Do you want a cookie? Some of us are POOR and have to use what we got.(Me) Rather than coming here to BRAG about your setup, I spend my time helping people on our OLD rig's. I hope you feel real good about yourself.
I concur. I have rent, gas, car insurance, electric bill, phone bill, and food expenses to worry about for two people. So instead of going into a thread where people are being productive and helping eachother run a game on slightly older systems and bragging about your new video card; why don't you find some other people to pester. We don't care. Quite frankly; I've been in the overclocking and tweaking communities since 1995 (I remember the epic race to squeeze more frames from mechwarrior 2; those were the days). And to be quite frank, people learning to get the extra frames from current hardware have managed a far greater achievement than you. So you've got extra money to blow, it helps when your parents buy everything for you. Or maybe you inherited money. Or maybe you even worked for it, at least I'll allot yu some dignity there. Clearly, you don't have to come up with at least $1400 a month just to break even on your bills and unnavoidable costs. I congratulate you on having the forsight to be born and still too young to have these burdens. As for the rest of us; we have real overhead, and real costs that we must meet. So please, pardon us, in our productiveness. I think you'll find that everyone on this website is just as eager to hear about your wonderful fortune in getting a nicer video card that costs more money. Now; I've been around the block with this garbage, more than my fair share of times. We all know, and I mean EVERY ON OF US that your next response (If you bother to check the threads you post in) will be that I'm completely wrong, and that you are actually a successful gentleman who has a good paying job and made smart choices; and that you are so much better than me, because clearly you are rich and I am poor. Now; here's why we all know it's bullcrap: Successful people are not bored people. Successful people do not sit around and brag to random people they've never met, about their new hardware. Successful people are only successful BECAUSE of this. They only succeed because they get off their duff and do something, because by their very nature, they are interested in taking a situation and making it better, by any means necessary. They are the ones who take initiative to utilize the resoruces they acquire. This is why they are successful in the real world. Now; let's profile you a bit better. There are really two options here. We'll just call them A and B. A.) You are a young adult(or even a slightly smarter, and infinitely more prideful kid) who has the wonderful chance to have their parents support them. You go to school, you study a bit; and your parents make sure that all costs are taken care of. Maybe you got a part-time job and paid for your computer; most likely you didn't. Most likely your parents either decided it was time johnny got a new computer; or you were able to convince them. That's lovely, and that's great. But that's nothing to brag about. B.) You are in your mid 20's; might go to college, might not. Live with your parents still, occasionally in the basement, depending on your zip code's permittance *L* and you love nothing more than a good 12 hour sitting on Counter Strike, Battlefield 2, or your MMO drug of choice. You work a bit, and get to keep most of the money, except for a little bit that goes to bills; because hey, you're an adult now; and you have to pay for [bold]something[/bold]. So, after a paycheck or two; you decided that you either should upgrade your computer. Realistically; I will actually be so bold as to say that I am 100% certain that you are one of these. And no amount of argument will convince me otherwise. Your juvenile, unwanted, and unhelpful post says it all for you. You can't judge a book by it's cover, but the words inside make all the details clear. And you've made it clear that you have nothing better to do. Between the two types; I'm going to guess you're A. Because you're posting during the day time. And if you were B, and not working or going to your next 'anime drawing' class; you'd be sitting in front of your computer, eating funyuns and drinking mountain dew while you play, and your proud collection of pewter figurines would watch over you in all their glory. Instead, you're rich kid loser A. Rich kid loser A thinks he knows a lot about computers, because his mommy bought him a nice one. And because it runs games well. Rich kid loser A usually catches a virus about a year later and doesn't know what to do, and then moves on to either a new hobby or a new computer. Rich kid loser A is my choice for you, for two reasons. -Rich kid loser A is in school right now, posting on these boards, because they are the only gaming related site his school hasn't blocked yet. -Because, while B has a couple friends for both occasional D&D sessions and big online raids; rich kid loser A actually has no real friends. Nobody likes rich kid loser A. Because rich kid loser A is ultimately a class A loser. Hope you liked that. *EDIT* Just checked your name. Thanks a bunch, that was the real final kick. You are rich kid loser A. Your parents don't know what to do with you, because you're so "Misunderstood" and so they buy you things to try and compensate; and then you get the only satisfaction in life from bragging about these things, then pretending you don't care. Occasionally, someone will show some interest; because they like something, but ultimately they will dissapear fast, because they never liked you; they liked your possessions. It's funny how that goes. But not as funny as how easily you are profiled to a finite tee.
Ha ha ha, you asked for that emo19819. Now back on topic folks, there're lots of poor people (I'm one of 'em) that need help!
