Morrowind & Huge lagg

Nomy · Post by **Nomy** » Mon Apr 27, 2009 5:06 am

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right forum but i'll give it a shot.
I'm sure many people have listed this problem many times before, I've tried the ideas that I've read but none seem to help me.
So, I'm running morrowind, bloodmoon & tribunal. With fps optimizer & anti-mod installed my FPS is really poor. I've marked compability for XP ( Yes, I have vista.) Still, my fps rarely makes it higher then 14, even indoors. I have also changed the Ini file to max fps 40, skip load thread and you know the rest I guess. So where is the problem? One thing i noticed that whenever I turn morrowind on the cpu goes up to 100% though my specs are way over the recommended ones. My specs are: AMD sepron 3600+ 2.0 ghz, 256 mbit NVIDA GEFORCE, 2.5gig ram and the harddrive is 300gig. So with these specs, Why won't morrowind run like I want it? I hope you can help me out

regards
nomy

Morrowind came before multi-core processors were the norm and so it only knows how use a single core. Although this is balanced out by other processes being handled by the other core there may be some lag. I think that's the general theory though I can't remember where I read it or I'd give a link.

Have you tried the exe optimizer?

EXE optimizer? I guess not. What's that?

It's something timeslip made. It makes some changes to the exe: some people get a huge frame rate boot from it while some not that much.

It's worth a try.

Timeslip's Oblivion utilities and mods

Right now it's patching, so far 5721 segments and found 30 patches, I do wonder what are all the strange files that appeared, " nasm, ndiasm, fpu, sse and some other strange files ?

I didn't pay much attention while it was patching.

Just make sure you read the instructions and it'll be fine.

Okey, now a strange file keeps coming up, " sse.exe ". All that I see is " sse.exe has encountered a problem and has been determined.. Is this file related to the patching process or is it something else?

Do you mean that the optimizer has come up with an error or a strange file has appeared?

That's the question, I've never had this before. It starting plopping up every minute saying that it encountered an error and has been terminated, I'm not sure if it comes from the exe optimizer or not.

Scan your computer for viruses. You might have got something that's popped up at the same time. I had no such problem when doing mine. It might just dislike vista.

Hmm interesting. when this sse.exe started plopping up and the patching process got stuck, it were stuck for 10 min, I clicked cancel and it stopped plopping up. Yeah it sure doesn't like vista, neither do I -.-

Located what was wrong, I read the readme and it seems like my processor doesn't support sse.exe. Doh.
