Illiad86 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 Ahh I didn't know UAC was what caused that. I'm old, still on XP :P Have to get 7 eventually, don't want to, but I guess I have to for new games huh? Not saying he should turn it off, it's just my boyfriend's preference. I know it protects from malware and the like, but he's never gotten a virus or other malicious items so he keeps it off. 7 is nice though...I like the layout and it seems to prevent fragmentation a lot better than XP.

Pushkatu Posted March 12, 2011 Author Share Posted March 12, 2011 Well, I got my PC yesterday. After the initial "WOW" thing I do when I get new stuff, I connected one of my old HDDs wich has my old Oblivion setup installed on it(from 2009 OMG) and I gave it a quick go. It performed better than I expected and I can't wait to start a new setup with all the mods I haven't got the chance to play back then and QTP3 is the one I realy want to test. Anyway, I'll post some pictures once I'm done with the reading. I have to teach myself once again how to use Wrye Bash, OBSE and BOSS just to mention a few. Cheers and beers,Pushkatu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nysba Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 (edited) Try Open Better Cities ;) So many NPCs, at least in IC. Edited March 13, 2011 by Nysba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchus Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Just a thought here: If you upgraded your processor from the i5 to the i7 quad, you'd see smoother performance if in combat with more than four or five NPCs. You'd just be looking at the cost of the processor plus some thermal paste, if you're ever interested. The "Radial" AI in Oblivion can be brutal on CPUs. Also, not listed. Are you running Win7 64 or 32? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
