rickred12, Here is a place to start on finding the correct drivers for your video card: http://www.amd.com/us/products/desktop/graphics/amd-radeon-hd-6000/hd-6450/Pages/amd-radeon-hd-6450-overview.aspx#4 Looking into it. I did not even see a driver for Windows 8, or if there is one, it is more of a beta version…??? You said that you are running the 6450, but the AMD cards are now way up into the 6600's. Running a video driver, especially if it is the latest one, you are probably going to get directed to something more suited to a 6600 version of the card. So my advice is to go to this page, and see what you can find out about the last video driver designed for this card. It would also help to know what the last change you made was before your FPS rate drops so low? I hope this helps, Storm Raven

rickred12, Well, at least you given us a place to start, but we are probably going to need a lot more details about your rig. Personally, I have run into some serious problems, running the latest version of the driver software, because it was not designed to run my video card. It takes some burrowing down, but go back to your video card, and find out about the required driver software for your video card. Sometimes you have to go to the next version, or even a later version of the video card drivers to find out where your card drops off. I am here and I will be monitoring this topic, so even if I do not get the answer right right away, I will be here to help you dig into it! Sorry you are going to through this, Storm Raven

I did not mean to double post, and it seems to me there used to be a way to just delete your post. So please forgive me, in all sincerity! If there is a way to just delete your post. Would someone please tell me! Thank you, Storm Raven :confused:

Vagrant0. This sounds very familiar! And… Did we not have a lot of this in the new now old oblivion days? Certainly I remember it with Morrowind. What was happening then, especially with Morrowind, was that the game was eating up monstrous portions of CPU time. In order to compensate, the computer would start dropping lower-level tasks. When the sound started to go, I just saved my game rebooted the computer and started up where I left off. Oblivion was not quite as processor intensive as Morrowind, but if I was in game for a long period of time, once again, the sound would begin to fade. It became a sort of ghost in the machine reminder, that anything over two hours in game, the sound would begin to fade again. Please correct me if I am wrong but I believe that in Skyrim, Bethesda is still using the same game engine, even if it is updated that caused these problems before! I agree with my old friend Dark Warrior, especially in his first paragraph. Perhaps the hardware has changed, or even the game engine, and those old problems are not coming back to haunt us. Still, you could look into dropping a few mods and/or other things to see if reducing the load on Skyrim makes a difference. I really could be lost at sea here, and you would most certainly be my honored guest in correcting me. Storm Raven :cool:

Hickory, I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with you, the official DLC's do need to be cleaned. However I'm going to ask Ben (bben46), to look at this because he knows more about this stuff than anyone else I know. No Doubt, he will have a better explanation than I will… Thanks, Storm Raven 8)

zelazko, This may not apply to your situation directly, it sounds as though it is a load order issue, especially if you have the Unofficial Oblivion Patch installed. However I found much to my dismay that when my old Pentium was really pushing its limits the sound card, a Creative Sound Blasterwould occasionally drop out. That meant it was time for me to save the game and reboot! I would then continue wherever I left off in the games. My understanding at the time was that memory and processing power were priorities over sound and I was playing Morrowind which was very processor intensive. There were times that I had to remove the number of mods running. If there are other people who can explain this situation in more detail I would appreciate it. It happened all the time in Morrowind, where I would get lost for hours… LOL Storm Raven 8)

:yes: Thank you Dark0ne, for your innovation, and looking towards the future perspective on things. Storm Raven 8)

:yes: Anatidaephobia, I do believe that was a wonderful introduction! Truly wonderful, thank you, If there is anyway I can assist you please feel free to contact me. Storm Raven 8)

Very well done, someone it seems sent back in time to witness and participate in an historical event. Thank you for a fascinating story, I will look forward to seeing it continue. The old man tips his hat, Storm Raven 8)

Congratulations to them both, The Nexus has long needed more help in the moderation department. Thanks, Storm Raven

Dark0ne, Thank you very much for making these changes. I will be sure to bring them to Exnems attention. I have no doubt that he will be glad to hear of these changes. It has been a perennial problem that because his oblivion body does not use the standard open license, the difference between the two licenses is not often noted. His original license needs to be included in all mods derivative of his body. Thank you, Storm Raven Chief Administrator of Exnem's Body Works

Thank you Dark0ne, this will no doubt make many large mod makers happy. Thanks, Storm Raven

Did you get this one solved? If so how? Thanks, Storm Raven 8)

Hail All! This is just a simple reminder, to get your plots registered now. We have something like six different websites, where the WIP for this mod is running, so plots are moving briskly. We are working on a way now, to create a list of those plots that have already been requested, and to update that list on the various WIP topics. We would hate to run into a situation where someone wanted a plot that had already been taken. So help us avoid this unhappy situation, and register your grave and epitaph as soon as possible. Thank you all again for your warm welcome, The grave site registration unit. Storm Raven 8)

Pushkatu, Thank you, as you have given us several choices we will locate the best plot available to you in one of those areas. You may consider your epitaph registered. Pronam, good friend, thank you for offering to help Pushkatu out, we will definitely take you up on your assistance. The graves registration unit will contact you at The Storm Raven Library. Buddah will be most pleased with your offer. Thank you, Storm Raven 8)
