TBSteve Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Hey folks...I've seen other people with my issues and I've tried various solutions...I cannot get this game to work properly on my PC. I've turned all graphics settings to the lowest setting and it still is running at a snail's pace from the character selection screen. I am at my wit's end right now and just want to get the game working properly...I'm so worn out I don't even want mods anymore. Just the game. Can you guys please help me? As far as hardware goes I'm running an i7, 16 GB ram, and a 1080 GTX. I have the Steam version with the GOTY DLC. I have a novice level of experience with modding, and the recent Vortex situation has really made my knowledge all but useless. Thanks for any help y'all. I'm willing to try anything, even re-doing stuff I've already done (wouldn't be shocked if I did em wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBSteve Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 I apologize - I realize this really doesn't have much to do with mods as of yet and would be more appropriate in the technical support section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Which i7? In all reality, your machine should run Oblivion without difficulty...... You should bump the frame-rate cap reliably. What operating system? What else is running in the background? Any ASUS apps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBSteve Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 7700k Kaby Lake Currently running through Xuul's performance mode series to see if anything works. I remember dealing with this exact issue before and running through numerous fixes only to stumble upon one fix that worked... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ratkiller13 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 When I made the switch from Windows 98SE to XP, I had to do a lot of screwing around with DOSBOX to get some of the old games to work at all. My understanding is that some of the newer operating systems like Windows 10 dropped the DOS kernel completely, since I'm still chugging along with XP I have no direct experience with VISTA, 7, 8, or 10. Since the newer systems may have assorted backward compatibility issues, the question "What operating system?" is an important one to answer.

TBSteve Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 I've read in a few places that running the game in XP Service Pack 3 is the way to go, but I've also tried it in various packs. No change in my issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBSteve Posted September 2, 2019 Author Share Posted September 2, 2019 Now I don't have sound when the game starts. Unreal. I just don't even know where I'm going wrong and if I'm doing anything right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivionaddicted Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I don't use any OS compatibility mode and my game runs fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to say this just once - you should get off Windows XP. Now I don't have sound when the game starts. Unreal. I just don't even know where I'm going wrong and if I'm doing anything right. 1. What operating System are you using? 2. Please post your Load Order 3. Are you using any OBSE mods? 4. Are you forcing anything through your GPU driver like anti-aliasing? As you have a Kaby Lake CPU you should be running Windows 10, any previous OS is not fully compatible with Kaby Lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
