Stuttering

I made a short video so you can see what I'm talking about:

It's most noticable around 30 seconds in

You have another posts for another game where you also seem to have problem with stutter. Are you really sure it isn't something related to your hardware or driver that isn't working as it should?

Oblivion can stutter for several reason, so it is best to first rule out what ever reason that could be which isn't caused by Oblivion before going deeper into possible causes in Oblivion.


On YT you say that you have Oblivion Stutter Remover (mod). Do you have any other mods active in game and do you use Oblivion Reloaded or any some other other graphical enhancer like ENB?


Oblivion Reloaded have a built in purger which might help with purging boht system and GPU memory (you can control which it should purge and even set to manual). When reading OSRs site for instructions which INI settings one should pick I get the impression that it is a by trail and error you have to find out by yourself.

What settings do you have in ugridstoload in Oblivion.ini? Maybe you need to reduce how many cells that are being loaded into memory? Have you looked up which settings in Oblivion.ini that have been recommended for getting mulitthreading to work more? It will not solve every problem, but it might at least open up some more treads when possible for game engine.


In video you seem to run very fast. Maybe that is a small part of your problem? Game try to load more into memory as you are running and need to make space for what you don't view in camera anymore?

You also have a lot more view (FoV and distance to objects from camera) then when I first played this game around 2006, so you might have to expect that there will be some delays while game is loading more map. (On old hard disk you where forced to see that "Loading" text on screen while waiting for more to be view in camera when you did run like you do in video. Today with game on SSD this happens so fast that some people might think it is stutter (they don't see "Loading", but it isn't really stutter in that sense that you actually are loading more information to show and it isn't a conflict between CPU/GPU/RAM/VRAM waiting clockcycles to get done with next frame.)

You stalking me? jk lol

Here's my full system specs:

GPU: MSI Gaming X 1070
CPU: i7 4790k @ 4.6ghz
RAM: 8gb GDDR3 1333mhs (Maybe the problem? Old slow ram)
HDD: WD Blue 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache (WHat the game is installed on)
SDD: Crucial 128 GB SATA 6Gb/s (boot drive/important programs)
PSU: Ultra LSP750 750-Watt

It's pretty high-end accecpt for the RAM

I haven't checked out the ini files yet, but I do have a lot of mods now (Texture mods/enb), but the stuttering is still the same. No better or worse

I suggest using Oblivion Stutter remover and the mod Quiet Feet Max and see if it helps. Those two mods should help reduce most stuttering problems.

A fix I recently found which fixes a lot of sound issues in Oblivion is to go into the my games folder/oblivion open the oblivion.ini file and change two of the settings:
bUseSoftwareAudio3D=1
debugaudio = 0(I forget the actual name)

Fixed most of the audio issues for me, maybe it will for you.
