Lag & Stutter - when zooming in with bow

[Tenlethar]

Hi,

 

i am experiencing a problem when zooming in with the bow - like, when i load an arrow and then i zoom in, the whole zooming process will lag and stutter until the zoom is complete. I noticed that it does not happen when for example i aim to the sky, thus lowering to-render polygon count to minimum or 0 - in that case the zoom works smooth.

 

However, especially during a fight the laggy & stuttery zooming process will be very disturbing.

 

Can anyone give me a hint on a solution for this?

 

Thanks!

 

Best regards,

Ten

What mods do you have in load order?

There's a strong chance it may just be hardware limitations. When you zoom in, it's a quick, gradual increase of FOV, which results in more detailed textures and a lot of moving objects. Changes are, your processor is just struggling a bit when the change occurs.

 

...My old computer had similar issues.

You could post a dxdiag so we know a little more about your system.

 

Start > Run > dxdiag Copy and paste all of that here using the

tags.

 

It does sound like hardware limitations though since you said you can look at the sky and there is no stuttering, loss of frames. Do you have any texture replacers like QTP3 and such? Those are hard on some systems and take a lot of resources. Post the dxdiag so we know more about your system though. We might be able to come up with a solution to help reduce the problem.

Your order of loading, if the way you listed them is in the order you have them installed, needs rearranging. Motion Blur and the HDR are going to have an effect like Eiris suggests and your hardware may have reached its limitation. Those should be placed right before Streamline, which should be last, if you are going to use them. The HDR is going to lag if you have a non-gaming laptop or more than 2 or 3 years old. Using BLOOM may help, but then you might not like the lighting. There is an alternative for the HDR weather mod, called http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=18305.
