Oblivion lags in third person

[Nepro]

I have a weird performance problem. FPS suddenly drops to like 10-15 usually in busy places or when I run around guards equipped with torches. However when I enter first person camera mode all performance trouble disappears - no lags even when running around guards equipped with torches.

What are your computer specs and what OS are you running (what bit also)?

Remember that Oblivion is a single core using game that will bottle neck itself via your CPU. It runs everything through it unlike many modern games that split off the video portion to the GPU.

 

You might also put up your load order and information on what skins (textures) you have installed. If you installed a bunch of 2024 or 4048 textures for NPC's that can cause massive lag if your PC is not fairly powerful.

And to be fair, Ive seen even high end PCs lag with lots of high res mods running.

Windows 7 64 bit

Nvidia Geforce 9800M GTS

Intel Core Duo 2.53GHz

4 GB RAM

 

 

I never had performance issues with HGEC EyeCandy textures and old Seamless Male Oblivion Body Version 2.1 by Robert which I use. Also Athata argonians and flussys better orcs which I use as well did not cause any performance issues before.

 

I didn't have performance problem three or four days ago. I think it must be some mod(s) that I installed recently (lags started yesterday or day before yesterday)

Yesterday I installed Kvacht Rebuild and Barthlom town mods but I didn't tick them in the load order. Could that be the reason for lags? I also ghost all those eps files I don't use.

 

I forgot to add that it is different kind of lag. The game kinda goes into bullet slow motion mode - while at it the frame rate (I use Oblivion console to check FPS) does not decrease dramatically. I didn't see the FPS drop below 30.

 

FPS Management in Oblivion Stutter Remover was responsible for that weird lag.

I turned off FPS Management and lag is not less common in busy places although FPS drops below 30 and you can see it but for me it feels more natural.
