Odd fps issue - help?

Post » Mon Jun 14, 2010 1:12 pm

Lately I've been getting a random fps issue. I go into an interior and then come out, only to be hit by an fps hit which puts me in slide-show mode below 5 fps. If I reload my game and then leave the same interior, I no longer have the issue and can continue on with my game. Once when this happened I was able to find the culprit, which was an NPC in Gnisis, who when I killed and disposed of the body, the fps hit went away immediately. Other than that one NPC (whom I'm afraid I forgot to write down the name) I've never been able to find out the cause of the fps hit, including using the "disable" console command. This has happened 4 or 5 times in different locations, the latest being in Balmora.

Any ideas? My mod list for what its worth:

It could be stencil shadows. If you have high detail shadows and/or an NPC has a shadow mesh that isn't closed properly, the game can slow down hugely trying to calculate the shadow for the holes in that mesh. When an NPC dies the shadow goes away. It's caused by meshes that aren't structured properly by the modeller for casting shadows.

It could be stencil shadows.

Would a quick test for that be to do: Options -> "Real Time Shadows" -> Off ?
