Nehrim Sudden Lag on Spell Cast

[Norinvaux]

I've been playing through nehrim recently, with next to no problems at all. In fact, I was really enjoying the game.

However, recently (I can't figure out the exact time, but less than a day or two game-time), every time me or an enemy cast any sort of spell (aside from shock spells for some reason), the game suddenly drops to around 1-4 fps. I have no clue why, and it wasn't doing this before. I first noticed it when I tried to cast a heal spell, and it went to 1 fps up until my character's hand left the screen, then it went back to normal. Now it happens with all spells but a few (e.g. heal spells lag, shock spells don't). It's become very annoying, for whenever a spider (or other magic wielding enemy) sees me, it instantly begins to cast a spell, and when it does, my game becomes a slide show right up until the point where the spell hits me, at which point the game returns to normal.

 

Anybody have any idea what could be causing this? I makes the game nearly unplayable. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Also, anybody else had this problem before, with either nehrim or vanilla oblivion? If so, did you manage to fix it?

Huh... Looks like it went away all by itself. Maybe all I needed was a computer restart or something. Ah well.
