Strange stuttering while harvesting ingredients : IV

» Sat Apr 02, 2011 9:45 am

I 've searched all over tesnexus, and bethesda forums, as well as just googling, but I didn't find anything regarding this particular problem, so I'm out of my wits here, and I have to ask for some help.

As the topic title suggests, everytime I harvest ingredients (click the space bar), there's a slight drop in framerate, about 5-10 fps from steady 50-60 fps. High framerate is a no brainer,
after all, I have my nose pointing on the ground while raiding poor Odil brother's carrots.

However the effect is resembling something like cell transition,game jumps severely with each click, making my machine gun harvesting quite hard. (I know, making RF potions to rise alchemy...cheating...).

First thing that came to my mind was the sound effect associated with harvesting, (I have onboard realtek sound chip) so I tried disabling sounds alltogether from Oblivion.ini, but the stuttering was still there.

Then I disabled hwacceleration, but the result was the same.

Capped framerate to 10-30 with osr to minimize change in fps, no effect.

Uninstalled portable sorters mod, because it has a cobl based ingredient pouch (I guess I went totally off mark there). Needless to say, it didn't help.

Then, to be sure, I went to the mages guild, and picked up ingredients from dinner tables because oblivion uses the same sound effect for that, and this time there was no stuttering at all.

So, from a total noobs point of view, the difference between harvesting and picking up ingredients is that harvesting gives me a message, wheter I was successful or not, and picking up just adds it to my inventory.

Could it be some kind of user interface issue? I did uninstall "no more annoying messages" mod, altough I believe it has nothing to do with messages regarding harvesting, and of course it didn't make any difference.
I have also DarnifiedUI installed which doesn't show in LO because I had to install omod version, I never get those fonts right with BAIN.

As a conclusion, I have used mentioned mods together before without any trouble, so maybe somebody could check my current load order if there are obvious script conflicts...or something.
LO is sorted with BOSS, it didn't give errors or warnings.
Ps. Otherwise my frame rates are fine 20-45 fps, and game appears bug free. Until now.

Just as a test, disable all of your mods? You can save your load order in Wrye Bash to easily get back to it after you're done. See if that does anything.

Minor tidbit, but when was the last time you defragged your HDD?

I think I know the solution to this.

You most probably have a quest selected that has multiple quest markers on the compass - if you choose a different quest which has 1 or possibly no quest markers, this stuttering might go away.

This happened to me and I worked this out by trial and error. Maybe this is the same case with you.

It never ceases to amaze how many ways this game can screw things up for you...

Or this could be a harvest flora issue, considering how the problem only occurs while harvesting, not picking things in general. OOO already includes harvest flora, but it was http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/?page=popular_outdated_mods to be buggy. Get the latest from nexus and overwrite the one in OOO.

Well this is again one for the books. I had indeed the "Join the Mage's Guild" quest active, and it has every guildhall as a marker, as soon as I switched to
single marker quest, the stuttering was gone (and Odil farm is bankrupt again). A thousand thanks to you, I've would've been probably institutionalized
before figuring this out!

You're welcome, though I recommend that you update your harvest flora mod as well..

Oh, I forgot to mention, I followed Tomlong75210: s instructions from excellent TESIVPOSItive site, and left out Harvest Flora
from the OOO BAIN installation package.
But thanks again.
