Oblivion is cool...but slight problem >.>

[Arkane13131]

hey, im running the game at all max settings at 12**x9** and its decently smooth...

drops to 30fps outside sometimes..and maybe 50fps inside.

if i turn up the resolution it doesnt really lower the fps too badly...and its not using 100% of each core so idk whats up with that... but anyway.... game is great...very fun...looks pretty aside from the ugliest background textures i have ever seen in my entire life...mountains in the distance....omg man...lol what were they thinking leaving them like that.

but it doesnt bother me so much....

the major problem i have is...

for some reason the shadows on people's faces are all FUBAR'd....as in old women look like they have beards ect...cuz the shadow cast is just wrong...everyone has it...really ruins the immersion...and who wants to talk to women with worse 5'oclock shadows than any guy i know?

is there a way to fix this weird shadow issue?
anyone else have the same problem?

haha yep, make sure you set uGrids to 9 as mentioned in the other threads, helps quite a bit...

Link to thread?

Does adjusting the grid visibility cause a noticable performance hit?

Just play around with it until you find something that both looks acceptable and runs well (uGrids at 9 is fine for me, 11 is pushing it).

Thanks :thumbsup:

Looks so much better, spoiled myself with 11 to start but I'll keep the performance hit.
