I udpated my video drivers...

Post » Sun Mar 28, 2010 4:58 am

Topic pretty well says it all. I have an nVidia Geforce 9500; I updated the drivers a couple days ago, and this is the first time I've played since then. My texture size is set to Small, and all Distant xxx is Off... I can go into the menu and change those settings; it tells me I have to exit for them to take effect, so I save, exit, restart... and they're back to the way they were. What's going on?? I know there are ini settings for them, but I can't find them to set them manually. Help?

the ini file is stored in mydocuments/mygames/oblivion/oblivion.ini (something like that, once you've found your mydocuments section is shouldn't be hard to find)

Maybe the ini file is set to 'read-only' and because of that it cannot write the changes to the file...

Make the changes in the game, and then, still in the main menu, open up the console and type in "saveini" without quotes.

No... I know where it is, and I can alter it - I just don't know where the specific settings are.

That worked - thanks. But, I'm still having some issues with my trees - they look http://project-phoenix.wikidot.com/local--files/files/trees.JPG until I get to within 10 feet or so, then they appear normally. I'm sure it's a LOD issue, but I've set distant LOD on, and I ran TES4LODGEN just be sure.
