Striker879 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I don't use the mod myself but have been following it's mod comments. Only thing I can think of is whether or not your machine is up to the job. There are areas of the mod that are very tasking (you'll notice low FPS).

justin96 Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) my machine is from early 2012 and the fps dose not seem to drop too only dose in some areas of the castle the whole game( minus BH castle) with the qual texture pack runs on high without any lag it is just this area it just sucks for me because i forgot to back up the old bh castle Edited February 8, 2013 by justin96 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 When it comes to hardware it isn't so much a case of 'how recent' as it is simply a matter of 'how fast' and 'how much memory'. Brand new laptops are an example of what won't work for Oblivion unless you have been very careful selecting the right laptop. Laptops will typically have either a good CPU and lousy graphics (Intel integrated is common) or a slow CPU and a fairly decent discrete graphics. Anything with shared memory for graphics will be taxed by Oblivion, and modern CPUs are often slower on the GHz and they try to make it up by having multiple cores. That works OK with modern software and games but Oblivion was last updated long before Intel or AMD dreamed up multi-core CPUs and when you add modern mods to Oblivion it just ups the ante for hardware spec requirements. Oblivion plus a mod like this will need at least 3 GHz CPU speed with absolute minimum 2 GB system RAM along with a dedicated video card with at least 1 GB VRAM (preferably 2 GB). You might get away with scrimping on the CPU speed but anything other than dedicated graphics will not make it. If you think your machine isn't the problem perhaps you should post details about your problem on the mod comments. If you are getting the crash at a certain spot all the time the mod author may know some details about that particular spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
