Oblivion Expansion Unplayable on PS3

Post » Tue Sep 06, 2011 7:55 am

Is it just me, or is the Shivering Isles expansion on the PS3 GOTY Oblivion unplayable? I play on an HDTV, and the graphics, textures, and edges looking beyond terrible, like a PS2 game, and the FPS drops to like 10-15 whenever I'm fighting one guy outdoors, and stays at like 20-25 fps when I'm roaming. This seems to only be happening when I'm in Shivering Isles, Vanilla feels ok most of the time.

I hope Skyrim gets a constant stable FPS on consoles.


P.S., I always have a "Light 40" ring equipped on my guy, could the constant light be causing the low fps?

Do you use an HDMI cable and is your ps3 set on the highest resolution it can go? If you play Oblivion on a HDTV with the regular cables it looks extremely terrible.
As for the FPS drops, I honestly have no idea I play on the ps3 and never had what your experiencing, it is rather strange I always have a steady dps with some extremely quick jerks in the game if I'm moving to fast and the other areas still don't load. Hmm maybe try unequipped that light ring, :shrug: I'll make a ring like that and go to the Isle to see if that causes lag on my game, but honestly I have no idea.
