FPS drops in towns

[simpel]

recently i bought the whole elder scrolls trilogy cuz by far only elder scroll game i played was skyrim, so i wanted to start at the beginning which is ofc morrowind which is a pretty old game, and how the hell does a game from 2002 run so bad that a game from 2014 on max settings runs better than this, i read about the bad engine and etc but like is there a way to fix this? like on the start when ur in the boat i get about 120fps and the second i go out and look in the direction of the town it drops to 20-30fps like bro what

[wawawiwa]

just use openmw bro

today i just laughed - about smoke coming out of AMD 7900 XTX
yeah really - with my system - i laugh at 4K and FPS you will never meet
and just at this time - there is this guy complaining
to not be able to play - a f... 20 year old game - on his max settings
what fun there is more
just let this get through your tongue - "town it drops to 20-30fps like bro what"

Assets are terribly optimized and were made when GPUs were completely different. They have stupid high amounts of draw calls despite their visual simplicity. You want to install the mod 'Morrowind Optimization Patch' and 'Project Atlas'.

also use OpenMW since it is made using modern OpenGL instead of an ancient version of DirectX that is no longer supported on GPUs and has to be emulated essentially. OpenMW also fixes all engine level bugs and has support for better graphics with post processing, uncapped render distance, object paging, uncapped light sources, per pixel lighting and normal maps

really - my system - just laugh at a 20 year game
being able to handle any up to date 4k or FPS
and you are talking about 30 FPS 20 year old games

Do you have anything better to do other than throw a fit anytime someone mentions OpenMW?

my actual - biggest ever laugh - AMD 7900 XTX
really - people are complaining - to not being able to play
20 year old games
this is the point - when a 20 year old game
brings your AMD graphics card to smoke

The physics engine and game loop runs at 30 fps by default which means when you are in towns there is potential for poor performance regardless of computer specs.
The texture maps and geometry are also poorly designed in the game where the other person mentioned the draw calls are pretty bad and cell loading is also bad in vanilla.

Use Morrowind code patch and project atlas. Both these mods improve the geometry of the game. OpenMW also fixes much of the engines short comings and is designed to utilize modern computer parts you can use both those mods there too.

if you are going to stick to the vanilla engine then you would want to do the resolution reg tweak and then edit the morrowind.ini so the Engine FPS matches your monitors refresh rate. Set in your GPU control panel to vsync you don't want to use Gysnc or freesync in the vanilla engine.

yeah really - if the game gets to 30 fps
open WM fixes something
your system of 2023 is not capable of Win 98 nor XP
