Dissapearing grass and other strange grass renderings

[Tethius]

So this is my first time posting in these forums and i hope I can get some helpful feedback. The grass in my game is rendering very strangely.

I am running quite a few mods so I will post my load order below. I never noticed the issue before, having played for 20 or so hours which leads me to believe a recent mod is causing it, though disabling many of them yielded no results. I first noticed the issue after reapplying the DOF shader in Oblivion Reloaded. Not sure if that's actually the cause, as disabling it doesn't fix it. I feel like a setting in my ini is off somewhere, and I'm running out of things to try.

 

large sections of grass are not rendered on the edges of my screen for the first second when facing different directions, then pops into place suddenly, and its very noticeable. Here are some screenshots:

 

No grass rendered on edge of screen. Look at the Tree to the left.

Grass pops in when turning:

Additionally I noticed the draw distance is rendering oddly as well. Less grass fades in in the area im directly facing, yet grass is drawn farther out on

both sides of where I'm facing sort of like a wide "U" shape.

I have tried increasing and decreasing the draw distance in the ini

Changing grass density in the ini

adjusted all draw distance sliders

disabled shadows, ect..

Disabled all shaders and post processing from Oblivion Reloaded

Tried the dissapearing grass fix esp

tried Enhanced Grass

even tried installing Oblivion grass overhaul which installed just fine, but the problem persists.

Tried regenerating LOD

tried tweaking, disabling/enabling various settiings in nvidia control panel.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

this isnt normal oblivion behavior is it?

OFC no one is going to reply. I have literally seen this question asked numerous times over the internet, some with videos on youtube showcasing the very same exact problem I have and in every single f*#@ing instance.. NOTHING. I swear i always run into problems that a whole 3 other people on the face of the planet have, and no one answers their questions either so why the f*#@ would i get any sort of response? OFC

Nvidia GPU

 

What's frustrating is that I had this problem once before and somehow I fixed it during my earlier stages of modding before I started a playthough. Played for like 20 hours not noticing a thing out of place.. Oblivion reloaded updated so I installed that, and maybe one or two other smaller mods and bam it became insanely noticeable in an instant and for the life of me I cant figure out what triggered it. I disabled most of my mods, created a new ini, i have literally 5 or 6 different backups of my oblivion folder at certain stages of my modding, and trying to go back to them doesn't fix the problem. New ini doesnt fix the problem. I have tried everything i can possibly think of and absolutely nothing works and it wasn't doing this before. I just wish i knew wtf I did the first time this happened. tried loading defaults in Nvidia control panel, as well as various other settings in there. Tried running in window mode with a fake full screen app thing.. didnt work either. I just have no idea.

I'm going to mess with it some more.. If i happen to figure it out i'll give any information I can

I've been looking for a way to fix this for years. Every few months I search in the hope that someone will post a new thread with the cure, which is what brought be to your thread today.

 

I don't know if it's always been that way, but I can remember it on my 8800GTX. I had a strong feeling that it didn't happen before then (back when I played it on X1900XTX and 7900GTX cards), but you can't rely on human memory and I probably wasn't as discerning back then anyway. I have to say though, looking at it today, I can't imagine how I would have ever considered that acceptable.

 

Almost every time I make a thread on this issue I get people saying that it doesn't happen for them, but most likely they just don't notice it. Looking carefully through Oblivion gameplay on Youtube, I see the issue a lot. Still, some people are truly adamant that they don't have the issue. For me, it's persisted through so many hardware/software changes that I can't take them seriously. The only thing is that I've used Nvidia GPUs almost exclusively for years, and I don't think I even tested Oblivion on the HD5870 and HD4850 - the last two AMD cards I owned (briefly). Is your GPU Nvidia or AMD?

Could you post your load order? Do you happen to run OBGE or Oblivion Reloaded?

Changing the default FOV in the ini to 90 greatly reduced the pop ins but messes up all the menus.. ugh. Oblivion reloaded also changes fov yet setting it to 90 doesnt yield the same results. Changing it to match the ini's default 75 also does not improve the issue.
