Indoors the game runs really well, 35-50 fps, but outside it sometimes drops below 10 fps for some reason. My system is more than capable of running the game too. 2.2 ghz Quad processor, ati hd 5770 gpu and 4 gb of ram on win 7 x64

Defragged, scanned for viruses, reset codecs, tweaked graphics, updated drivers, cleaned my hard drives, reinstalled but nothing seems to work.

Every other game that i have runs perfectly. Oblivion and fallout 3 are the only ones causing me problems.

If someone had the same issue and found a solution i would really appreciate the help. I'm REALLY pissed of.

Post a dxdiag.

What is the manner of the framerate drops? If they are transient, on entering an outdoor cell (a good way to test this is to walk out the Chorrol north gate in a new game and turn all the way around), and the disk drive is active during the framerate drop, these are due to loading. Loading from disk is the slowest thing the game does, and it's not avoidable. Running from an SSD or RAMdisk can eliminate it almost completely, and using a well-designed and optimized disk setup can reduce it substantially.

If they are persistent, especially if it's worse when there's lots of grass around or other actors present, you may be a victim of an inadequate CPU. "2.2 ghz Quad" doesn't tell us much: if that's a Phenom 9500, it's a low-performance processor that you'd expect to have trouble with lots of objects in an open world.

Another likely possibility is that you have crapware running in the background. Antivirus scans, Windows Indexing Service, and so on. Using msconfig to set up a "clean boot" that doesn't run any non-Microsoft services is a good start at determining whether this is a problem.

I really doubt my processor is the problem since i could run it on my old single core at same frequency without trouble. There isnt any "crapware" running either. I already checked all of those. And i use a no cd crack so... no loading from the cd. I can run games like crysis, Bad company 2 and metro 2033 at really high settings so i doubt it is a hardware issue.

Also, the framerate drop is constant outside. It doesnt just start at some point, its always like that.

1) No cd cracks arent permitted to be discussed here.
2) Dogsbody means the disk drive as in Hard Drive, loading from the hard drive is the slowest part of the game. The only thing that the actual game disk does is a simple disk check.

Understood. Sorry. And i don't have any trouble with other games because of my hard drive. I also cleaned it and defragged it so... No problems there. It isnt old either.

Right.

You will have to install a properly licensed copy of the game and remove your virtual disk software before seeking further assistance here. We cannot vouch for the performance of an executable that has been modified and pirated or for a computer that is running pirates' tools.
