Wierd triangles of grass floating over grass (NO MODS)

[thomasv333]

Hello,

 

I just reinstalled my game on a new 500Gb RAID 1 array I setup to replace my old HDD. I installed and updated XP with all its updates and installed all the most recent drivers for my hardware and I'm having a really weird problem with Oblivion. I installed the game and SI and all the add-ons and the most recent patch, and fired up the game to see how it was running before I added all my mods. I created a new character went through the tutorial and when I exited the sewers all the grass was messed up (see screen shot). There were dark green triangle shaped tiles of grass floating in the air above the normal grass, remember NO mods installed yet. I messed around with different grass reducing mods & different oblivion.ini tweaks and there was no change at all. I then installed a ton of mods including FCOM full, UL all parts, and a bunch of others, no QTP3, and the grass was still messed up no matter what save game I loaded.

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks

 

 

I figured out the problem, the graphics issue seemed a bit more global to me since everything I tryed had no effect on the problem. So I started looking into my graphics card settings and my video settings in XP were set for "Best Performance" when I changed this setting to "Best Quality" the problem went away.
