Disco De Soto posted:Wow this does look pretty amazing with everything installed. The atmosphere of the original game is even better now. Only problem is I get 10-15 FPS. Pretty funny, since I can run Fallout New Vegas at max settings with lots of mods. Guess I need to turn down some settings. You can get away with lowering a lot of MGE / MGE-XE settings to increase performance with minimal visual impact. Beyond that, you have to remember that you're working with an old version of the Gamebryo engine and no occlusion culling. Even high-end PCs can have trouble running a fully-modded Morrowind, so don't feel too bad.

I get 60 FPS when looking through my inventory and reading books, so maybe I should just do that the whole game! Seriously though, the only way I can make the game playable is to tick the box that says "Disable internal version of MWSE". I thought that would screw up a lot of mods, but I can't see any difference yet. Any idea what that will screw up?

Neither does lowering any of the world textures resolution, mesh details etc. The only things that really work for me are dramatically reducing draw distance (which looks stupid and only adds about 5 FPS) and disabling the internal MWSE, which lifts my framerate to 15-60, depending how fast I turn around. The only thing that seems to have been affected by disabling the internal MWSE is Gratuitous Violence - I can't run the configuration menu any more. But i'm not sure. Which of the shaders makes distant land stuff (like hills and silt striders) cast shadows? It doesn't always look great so I'd like to disable it.

Disco De Soto posted:Yeah capping my framerate to 30 or 100 doesn't seem to make much difference. Neither does lowering any of the world textures resolution, mesh details etc. I believe that when you're generating distant land, "minimum static size" is what you'd be looking for. It's 150 by default. What that means is that if an object has a size "value" of less than 150, it won't be drawn in distant cells, nor will it generate a dynamic shadow--even up close. So if you raise this value to, say, 400, you can significantly reduce the number of objects and shadows that are drawn and calculated. Conversely, if you set it to a really low value like 25, everything will have a shadow and your PC will probably poo poo itself. EDIT: Also, like you've figured out, it's definitely good to play around with the number of cells rendered in distant land. I find that a value of 10 or 12 is a nice compromise between performance and visuals. And if you're running mods that add additional script routines to NPCs, reducing AI distance through the in-game slider could help a lot.

Mine are on 400 and 800. I found a weird way to turn off shadows using MGE XE: Bind a "toggle distant statics" key in the macro editor. This currently toggles shadows instead, according to this guide http://forums.bethsoft.com/index.php?/topic/1114956-shelter-from-magnus-blaze-2/ When I turned off the internal version of MWSE, it definitely broke Gratuitous Violence. Oh well. Now to figure out what other mods aren't working...

Mine are on 400 and 800. Were you using MGE prior to installing MGE-XE? In that case, it was probably looking at your MGE settings. I know that installing MGE-XE on top of MGE without touching the latter will revert MGE-XE back to true defaults, which is where the 150 (the same value that a lot of people, including the instructions, tell to you set it to.) I never really saw a *huge* difference between the settings (150 compared to 400) except while using grass mods and AA filters, in which case, 150 ate up FPS moreso than 400. I'm not near my other computer right now, but I think the settings are somewhere around 400 and 650 or so for the other two distances. 150 definitely ups the shadow counts that MGE-XE draws, which increases visual quality and showcases one of the big differences between MGE and MGE-XE (besides optimized code.) I think that's the main reason most people recommend that setting.

I finally bought an SA account just so I could participate in this topic, even though I've been lurking for a long time. I just picked up MW again and went through Knot's Morrowind Modding guide which was linked earlier in this thread. I got through it all and it looks fantastic. The problem is the FPS isnt good at all. something like 15 in Seyda Neen, about 20-25 wandering the countryside and Balmora is 10-15. Ive tried playing with some settings but cant seem to get much more. Here is the hardware Im dealing with: GeForce 260m, Intel Core Duo P9750, 4 GB RAM, and my display (it's a laptop, duh) is wide screen (16.9 in) with a native resolution of 1366x768. Can anyone give me any ideas of some settings to use as a baseline in XE? Ive already tried dialing grass/groundcover down to 50%? Is anyone using hardware similar to mine and getting good framerates? Or am I just screwed? FWIW, the game seems pretty smooth in terms of playing it but I still feel like I should be getting a little more? BTW I did try capping the FPS, that seemed to help a touch.

There is a lot of overlap between the guide and what I do. One of the bigger determinants of framerate comes from your static meshes (grass, trees), especially on that laptop. Some of Vurt's foliage mods can really hurt your performance, especially when they're combined with Vality's mod to make swamps and forests denser. I'd look at disabling tree mods, regenerating statics, and seeing what the FPS difference is. Obviously you don't want to play the game without any trees whatsoever, but I've noticed some of Vurt's work performs really well while other versions perform like poo poo. The other is probably draw distance. What is your draw distance set to? Anti-Aliasing will probably kill you, too, moreso when used on top of MGE / MGE-XE's filters like SSAO and DoF. If you have any AA, disable it.

Do you think it would be worth to clean out my install and try the guide listed in this thread? It seems to be a little less mod-intensive than Knot's.

One thing to do (which I keep forgetting to put in the OP) in order to determine what's causing your framerate to drop is to bind MGE-XE's toggle functions to different keys in the macro editor (under "In Game"), toggle them on or off, and watch what your framerate does. I've found on my personal computer (which is a somewhat decent laptop I use for 3D rendering, so I feel your pain, vulturesrow) that AA only affects it by 1-2 FPS. LOD is (obviously) the biggest, but MWSE and AI functions will probably be your biggest town-dependent ones, since the engine has to process a lot of different things with a (relatively) large number of NPCs.

A draw distance of 6 isn't bad at all. Water caustics / reflection settings don't seem to impact performance much (unless you have MGE water set up to draw reflections for everything.) Disabling AA should definitely lighten your load, though I'm not sure how much. I bet the biggest difference is going to come from the foliage mods you're using. I figure you should troubleshoot your current setup before scrapping it and starting over with the OP's. At a minimum, you might figure out what mods don't perform well on your laptop, and that will help you pick and choose what you're going with on your next install.

AA may not have a tremendous impact at lower resolutions like Vulturesrow's setup, but I've noticed that it can really make a difference in areas with high volumes of grass and foliage.

Appreciate the feedback everyone, it is greatly appreciated. I actually went ahead and set up a different directory with an MGSO install and my framerate almost doubled. Im pretty happy with that baseline (anywhere from 20-30fps depending on where Im at). I should be able to tweak from there. I did go light on the grass and tree mods. Some of them are really too much from an aesthtic POV in my opinion but I realize that is somewhat subjective. I have to say that the MGSO installer is pretty slick and its nice to be able to tweak mods that easily. Even though it all looks great, I do have one issue I need to investigate. When looking up at the sky, I can see some areas where you can essentially see where sky textures are coming together. I do have AA turned off right now, Im not sure if that will help but I am going to give it a whirl. I also noticed when I was in Balmora that the walls of buildings almost have a shimmering type effect going on which is a little disconcerting. Im wondering if that has something to do with the refresh rate I set in MGE. Again, thanks for all the suggestions. Once I get everything tweaked to my satisfaction I will post some screenies, including captures of my MGE screens. Hopefully it will help others having the issues that I am having. I may even do a separate posts on some of the little things I found that may help those dealing with less capable graphics cards (mine is pretty good for a laptop but lacks the sheer horsepower of a desktop setup; time to make a sales pitch to the wife I suppose). One question: Do you have to redraw distant lands if you change your draw distance? I dont think you do but I just want to be sure. Thanks everyone. PS Death to the DOF shader. gently caress that blurry poo poo.

Ok I finally realized that first effect mentioned above only happens if the sun is anywhere in my FOV. So Im guessing it has to do with the godray shader. Really not much I do about that one except turn that shader off. Still cant figure out what is causing that shimmer on some of the stuff in Balmora, (mostly walls on buildings and the textures on the sidewalk closest to the canal) but I did notice it only happens when Im moving. Weird.. Anyhow Im going to start bumping up some settings and see what happens. quote:PS Death to the DOF shader. gently caress that blurry poo poo. Yup. Cant believe people actually like this. EDIT: I got impatient and ramped up two things at a time: turned AA up to 4x and increased the resolution up to 1024x768. Took about 8-10 FPS off my framerate so Im down to about 20 on average. I'm ok with this but I dont want to go any lower. 1024x768 is pretty much non-negotiable so I'm hoping dialing the AA back will get me a few FPS back. I cant get over how good the water looks, I find myself just standing there staring at it.

Two questions: I'm still running MGE out of the MSGO utility. Has anyone installed MGE-XE and noticed a significant framerate hit? Also, now that I have everything set to my liking I was wondering if anyone would care to talk character builds? I like using magic but I know in MW being a pure magic user can be a bit challenging to say the least. I plan to use this character as a pretty much do everything character i.e., all of the main quest plus as much as the open world stuff as I can stomach.

vulturesrow posted:Two questions: I can't speak for using MGSO, but in general MGE-XE should perform better than MGE because that's the whole point: The author is going through and optimizing code so that the program runs better. Also, it does dynamic shadows, so that's its other bullet-point. That being said, MGE-XE freaks out if your in-game Distant Land slider is anything less than maxed out. For some people, this is an issue. So I imagine that if you're trying to switch over to MGE-XE but your PC is already struggling to render distant land, you might hit some speedbumps.

My poo poo's all hosed up with the Steam version. Not really, it just loads up the launcher each time I click play from said launcher. Doesn't matter if I go into my steam folder and find the morrowind stuff and launch the Morrowind Launcher, Morrowind.exe, or Morrowind.Original. It all brings up the launcher, which launches the launcher again.

Yes, the MPP and MCP are all you really need to root out the vanilla bugs. I'm going to have to disagree with vulturesrow because installing the MGSO for those two fixes is a whole lot of overkill. Granted, it makes the game look better, but that's something you explicitly said you didn't care about, and is pretty much the sole function of MGSO.

OSheaman posted:At this point which graphics/sound overhaul should I be using, the Morrowind Sound and Graphics Overhaul or the step-by-step guide here? I actually did both (did the second guide first) and I found MGSO to be much simpler and a little friendlier to my system. The nice thing about MGSO is that it is much each to tweak after you install it. I will say that the guy who put out that guide is very responsive to questions and stuff you have about his guide. He helped me out quite a bit but I ultimately found that using MGSO was just easier in terms of being able to tweak the mods until I found the combination that didnt overtax my graphics card.

My guess is a video card compatibility issue.

Just wanted to check in. I came back to this today and figured out that I forgot to add the other three Private Mobile Base .esp's. That was the only problem. Thanks for the help, though. Edit: Also, I want to throw out a recommendation for the Madd Leveler mod. Simple, no frills level mod that removes caps and removes the x5 bonus for attributes at levelup. Instead, every three skill gains gives you a gain in the attribute that covers that skill. Really simple. Values above 100 are added as "curses," so you don't dispel them and they don't go away. Only problem is that if an attribute over 100 gets damaged, a Restore Attribute spell won't restore it, so you have to run the "reset" spell that comes with the mod.

I always liked the approach Madd Leveler took with this; skill increases raise the corresponding attributes, but you still get three stat points at level up to distribute as you wish. Now that I've got GCD tweaked to my liking, I don't use it, but it's still good and I'd recommend it myself.

Is there a mod that just lets me distribute all my points the way I want at each level up? I.e. just gives me 10 points per level that I can put in anything I want? There was one for oblivion that did this and it was the only way I could stand it. I don't want to have to grind skills for attributes. It drives me nuts and is the entire reason why I have never played morrowind.
