oblivion stuttering all the time

[TheEggyBaby]

Hey guys,

 

So I installed Oblivion GOTY onto my computer, and then I installed the Disc 2 without any problems. I've installed Operation Optimization to increase the performance of the game, but there is a constant, annoying stutter which happens usually when my character gets attacked, when other characters nearby are fighting or when my character attacks another character. It also happens when some creatures are moving (i.e rats, goblins) and is kind of minor when NPCs are moving. It also stutters a great deal when I am in a combat situation (not lag, but stuttering). During a certain combat situation (the bit where you fight a goblin shaman and three or so goblins underground in a cavern in the very first mission, before you meet up with the emperor again) the stutter became unbearable, and it became very tough to play the game. The game, outside of combat or attacking things, has an extremely good and smooth framerate (like 50-60 FPS) but as soon as I come across an enemy, it stutters quite a bit when I fight them.

 

I went onto systemrequirementslab.com, and Can You Run It told me that my computer is well able to run Oblivion (being very, very near to the bit on the right saying "fast"). My specs are:

 

ATI Radeon HD 4600 series (graphics drivers are very outdated [24/11/2009] but it will not let me update them, I have tried four times, but I still haven't been able to....so I've just given up because its doing my head in!)

Intel Pentium 4 2.99Ghz

3.25GB of RAM

Dell Dimension 5150

 

Also, I play the game on a low resolution (640x480) but there is still stutter. The graphics are on medium-ish, but I reckon that I should be able to run it without any stutter, even on medium-high. Any ideas what could be causing this??

 

Thanks!

As far as not being able to update your drivers - any instant messenger I could contact you with?

Hmm well I don't have any IM, but is it possible to send me a link to a thorough driver update guide? Thanks for stutter remover, btw, there's still a bit of stutter, but definitely not as much as before.

Some of these may help with stuttering also.
