Textures become blurry in game

[karikhan]

The symptoms:

When I load a game it looks perfectly normal, however, after maybe 5-15 minutes of gameplay the textures become blurry and "unfocused". It also happens on the transition from an interior to an exterior cell with a frequency of maybe 60-70% per transition. The longer I've been playing the more often it occurs. It doesn't crash and it doesn't get any worse after it initially appears.

I've been using Hishutup's guide (http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Hishutup/OblivionGuide) using nearly all the standard+extended mods and a few of the others too - although not a very many as well as a handful of my own picks.

I'm just wondering if anyone has come across this problem before or has any ideas? If one of you guys knows the solution (or has a few suggestions) it'll probably spare me a couple days troubleshooting.

I've done a lot of mucking about with ini settings, ENB and configuring external graphics settings (via NVIDIA control panel) and none of that seems to be doing anything to affect it. I could still be missing something here though.

The only thing that affects it (once it starts) is a save/load in an exterior (only exterior) cell or quitting to desktop and loading fresh. Also if the problem is NOT present but then I save/load in an interior cell (only interior) it occurs when I load back in.

 

I have:

8GB Ram

Quad core intel

2GB NVIDIA graphics card

installed on an SSD

 

Any thoughts?

Just thought I'd post an update now I;ve solved my problem - in case anyone has something similar now or in the future.

 

I've pinned it done to the MFXAA setting in the OBGE menu in game. When I set that off I have no more trouble. Not even the slightewst clue as to why but hey :P Maybe something to do with AA settings in general or maybe just with that one.

 

Anyhoo - off to steal someones clothes.
