Performance Mods

[bascillies]

I'm looking for a solution, or a mod, or some sort of feedback on how to increase the behind-the-scenes performance rate of the game.

 

My framerates on max with QTP is about 50, so my machine is fine, my frames are fine, but what's frustrating is opening inventories/quicksaving. I happen to quicksave a LOT, and it gets frustrating when a "quick" save takes 4-5 seconds. Also opening the inventories of dead NPC's is fairly slow.

 

 

I did some testing and found that the more mods I disabled [i have a lot of mods] the quicker the downtime is, which is sort of obvious, but what I'm looking for is some way to decrease the trivia downtimes by even more.

 

I'm using the darnified+dark UI which increases your OWN inventory-open speed, but again the main problem is saving.

 

This does sound like a QQ post, but 5 seconds is quite a long time when you quicksave every 15 [i have every right, 100% difficulty and double NPC damage that i changed myself]

 

Thanks

quicksaves (and autosaves) are defined as dangerous - they corrupt far too easily

 

how many regular saves do you have? My save time increases as the number of saves increases.

 

have you tried defragmenting your harddrive - operating system issues can contribute to save times

I got rid of all but my last 2-3 saves and it's still slow as balls.

 

As for defragging, it shouldn't make a difference because oblivion is on a whole separate drive by itself, nothing else installed.

I have had as many as 2000 saves with no slowdown. The amount of stuff in your inventory can cause slow saves, slow opening inventory, slow opening containers.

 

If you have a high feather you can accumulate quite a bit in your inventory. Offload into a chest every once in a while to speed things up. But again, if you put to much in a single chest it will be slow opening, and things may not show in the chest inventory. They will still be there, but not show up until you remove some of the contents, close it and reopen.

I have the castable Midas Chest [infinite size chest you can use and open anywhere]

 

 

Sounds like a great idea, thanks!
