Few years ago I was playing Morrowind with MGE and FPS Optimizer -- it was changing draw distance smothly and with fog covering. Now I got MGE XE, MCP and FPS Optimiser -- when draw distance is changing I see appearing/disappearing large objects and terrain texture is floating down like liquid, Fog is only near edges of cells. Few years ago I was able to tweak maximum fog = minimum draw distance ("Alone in the fog") and fog on horizon only = maximum draw distance = visibility from one edge of the map to another edge.
It is uselles for FPS optimizing for me, but I bended a key to play next music track)) And I want x10 mouse wheel speed (x5 is maximum in this app).

I have this same problem

just have a fat look it will depend on the version were it's at

I'm having the same problem, FPS optimizer won't "validate" the running Morrowind process and therefore won't work. But deactivating the haggling optimization didn't help, nor did it help to start both Morrowind and the optimization tool in double admin mode (admin account + right click-> start in admin mode (whatever sense that makes). Any ideas other than that? I did manage go get it to run before with Windows 7 and with the GOTY edition I'm using now as well. No idea what's the difference now. o.O

Ok, I now solved the issue for myself. Letting you know what I did: I reinstalled MW with my Antivirus turned off, then upon start at least the FPS Optimizer now works properly. I let the "better haggling" in MCP turned off, as it is indeed stated as non compatible there.

"Morrowind process was found but NOT validated. So Morrowind FPS Optimizer is disabled for now.
This can happen because of:
1) Morrowind process was just launched. So wait at least until you load your savegame.
2) Your Morrowind FPS Optimizer maybe out-of-date. Please, visit www.morrowind.nm.ru for the latest update.
3) Something wrong . Please, e-mail me to [email protected]."

I'm using Morrowind GOTY GOG version (v1.6.1820) with Bloodmoon and Tribunal enabled, patched using MCP 2.4 and the 4 GB patch, with MGE XE 0.10.0 and its internal MWSE. Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA.

mindbound wrote: It turned out that I hadn't turned off the haggling optimisation option at MCP, which is incompatible with FPS Optimizer. I started over with a clean Morrowind.exe, applied patches without the aforementioned, and now everything works for me.

Glad I saw this thread. I was perplexed why distant view wasn't working. Looking at it now, MCP specifically states to disable that feature as it is incompatible with Optimizer. lol

This is why keeping notes can be useful in the end.

Can anyone tell me why this uses the 1.96 version from 2003 when there was a 1.96a version released in 2005 by the original author?

 

I cannot find the actual changelog between 1.96 and 1.96a, I have the source for 1.96a from the web archive, but for the source of 1.96 there is no web archive, nor can I find it anywhere to compare.

I've noticed the newer version does not allow window resizing, but that's a minor annoyance if it fixes something important.

The only thing I got now is that Alexander released it almost two years later which makes me think there must be something fixed that was important enough for a revisit...

 

1.96a pops up first in the archive at 2005-11-13: https://web.archive.org/web/20051113233513/http://morrowind.nm.ru:80/tweaker/download.html

I've got vague memories that 1.96a was compiled using a later version of whatever IDE was used to develop it, no functional changes to the actual program

I could've sworn both 1.96 and 1.96a was downloadable from lowgenius.net, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

If you want to use this with MGE XE and have Texture Problems in the Distance you can try and set the "View Distance Extra" Value to 0. This should deactivate the enhanced View Distance from FPS Optimizer and eliminates the Texture Bugs cause by this because MGE XE has his own View Distance settings.

 

I use this because the Mouse Speed in the Menus in Morrowind is to Fast for me and this Program is the only thing i know that can change this.

 

And if you want to use this with MCP (Morrowind Code Patch) you have to uncheck the "Better Haggling" Option in the MCP Interface Changes Menu or FPS Optimizer can not detect the game correctly. You can use a similar Feature called "Turbo Haggle" in the FPS Optimizer settings under the misc tab.

that would explain the problems i just realized my morrowinds have, i have 2 copies of the game, one is vanilla + MGE XE, and the other is heavy modded + this mod + MGE XE, i was testing stuff in those 2 separate installations and i was kind of confused because aparently in the heavy moded one there is no fog at all or barely any visible fog.

Where do I find the "view distance extra" setting to change it to zero?

Thanks
