First of all I know Oblivion is not really suppoted on Vista by Bethseda
Softwarks (yada yado and soforth); with that aside I was wondering if
someone could help with my issue below.
I upgraded one of my home computers to Vista Home Premium this weekend, and
for ha-ha's and giggles, I installed Oblivion to it to see what it would do
on this device (now note I've run Oblivion on it before with no real issues).
However when installing this game on my upgraded system (and the patch
v1.1.511 English) on my computer the games starts ok; but performance is
somewhat weak.
The worst place where I see it is in the game startup screen where you can
"Load" games. The main screen starts but once you click the "Load button" the
system pauses and then starts refreshing the screen. At which point the mouse
cursor starts hopping terribly like it can't keep up.
Once I start a game and have it in low graphics is reasonably fine in the
game. I don't understand why its so slow in that section of the game?
anyone have any suggestions? I've tried placing the OblivionLaunch.exe and
Oblivion.Exe files into XP SP2 compatibility mode, with maybe some slight
improvements. Also the HDD is defragmented quite well (Diskeeper 2007 Pro has
been run enumerous times)..
Sys Specs:
Intel Pentium 4 2.0 GHz
Nvidia 6600 Series (model not exactly available)
1GB system ram
Win Vista Home Premium
SB Audigy 2 ZS
Latest Available Drivers for all above loaded, additionally using 2GB of USB
BoostReady Memory
Oblivion's Graphics Settings are presently set for "Low" to troubleshoot the
load / issue reported above.
I'm going to play around a bit mroe, but if anyone has any ideas please post
them back here! Be interested in hearing.
