DingerDan Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Because my copy of oblivion crashes every time I try to change the graphics setting (not really interested in fixing it) I wonder if it would be too much bother for someone to set their graphic setting to the VERY LOWEST IT CAN GET and paste it to me. THE VERY LOWEST. I'm not looking for eyecandy, I just installed Oblivion on my girlfriend's awful laptop just to be able to work on my mods, and it lags to a horrific extent. I figure it'd be a lot better if I could change the settings, but... I can't. So if someone could please help me out, that'd be great :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexxEG Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) Just move the .ini out of the folder. It should create a new one automatic when you launch next time. Edited July 22, 2011 by Alexx378 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DingerDan Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Just move the .ini out of the folder. It should create a new one automatic when you launch next time. I know.. But it won't be the lowest settings. Something tells me you didn't read the description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosjuero Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Is it crashing when you try to change graphics options in game, or via the launcher? If in game then just open the Oblivion Launcher, click Options, and select the Very Low option button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If in game then just open the Oblivion Launcher, click Options, and select the Very Low option button. Yeah it crashes when I try to change them. Like when I try to save the settings. And yeah I've tried that, but again, it doesn't set them to the very lowest that way. It still has large texture sizes, good shadows etc and that's what's bringing the damn IGP to it's knees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosjuero Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Here is the [Display] section of the INI file with absolute lowest value settings [via launcher and in game] - honestly I don't think it is going to help your issue though, crashing when trying to modify the INI file even through the launcher is a symptom of larger issues.
