Strange Obliv Prob

[magibeg]

I get these strange slowdowns when i approach oblivion gates now. The only thing i've changed lately is upgrading my cat drivers from 6.4 to 6.5. I will go from a decent 30 fps to not even 1 fps if i'm looking in the direction of an oblivion gate. I also get the same effect when an enemy casts some sort of invisibility spell on themselves. Anyone had any similar troubles?

not with oblivion..but i did have a problem very similar with the original morrowind and an ati card..

it didnt do soft shadows very well.. not just mine all of em.. when a certain flying winged harpy appeared the game stopped dead..

disabling soft shadows cured the morrowind problem.. the shame was i never discovered the fix till after i had finished the damn game.. all problems just got put down to the game needing super hardware..

u could try going back to the old drivers.. there aint no real gain to be had from the 6.5s anyways..

Well i switched to cat 6.4 again, and the problem disappeared... and just for the sake of fun, switched back to the cat 6.5 again. It seems the problems gone :). Possibly a bad setup somewhere or a corrupt install of cat 6.5?

On the Oblivion Forums many people were having this problem. I dont remember if they ever found a solution. It may be just one more of Obilivions bugs.
