gstark1 Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 Or not. Started new character for giggles, and getting FPS drops like crazy. Around 2-3 every 5-10 minutes. Very annoying. Even disabled all of my startup processes except the Microsoft ones and security ones, and startup programs except security, and still having issues. Very tempted to pull my Oblivion data directory, save games, and personal files and install this Windows 7 update i have. Hi gstark1, Just wondering if you had tried that win 7 update or anything else and seen an improvement. I too am experiencing simular hiccups and have some of the same gear as you (win 7, same amount of RAM, same video card, etc.) so I am following this thread with interest. I've not yet had a freeze up during a conversation, but frequently get them looking at random objects (certain ships, buildings, small groups of people etc.) but this doesn't always happen. When it does though I can generally replicate it so it may not be exactly the same problem you are facing. Can anyone recommend a free windows7 compatible defrag program that can defrag a specific directory (I want to schedule a defrag of my oblivion folder each day since my wife and I play it nearly daily lately). Thanks and good luck! Keep us updated on your progress. Just wanted to update this thread, seems my issue is gone now. I did update to Windows 7 (upgrade took 3 hours, ugh) BUT...FPS issues are GONE! Only thing that happens now is occasional game crashes, but they are few and far between. Still gonna get a better video card though lol Thanks for all the tips guys :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
