Video sliders keep moving up and down on menu exit

Submitted by Doyledeth on

Hello,

First I want to thank you for such a tremendous mod, I am however experiencing some difficulty with the menu in both Cyrodil and Morrowind. My video sliders on menu exit keep changing on their own and I am not sure of how to go about fixing this.

 

Any help  is greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.

Try making the My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini file Read-Only. That should stop Oblivion from messing with it in-game.

Thank you for the prompt reply. I'll test it out and let you know.

Nope, didn't work.

Hmm. Are the sliders being reset to their defaults, or they just seem to move a little bit on their own?

It's erratic. The numbers change to whatever it wants. High, low medium. It's all over the place. It's weird.

I've never heard of that. It does sound weird... 

I'm not sure how to fix it, sorry. Maybe someone on the Nexus or the Bethesda forums can help?

Not sure. It was fine until I installed Morroblivion.

It's not related to Morroblivion.

Post your load order, maybe it's some other mod doing this.

Don't know why it's posting all jumbled like that. Didn't look like that before posting.

 

Oh and, Natural_weather_HDR is not activated.

Karma: 0 (0 votes)

I think that's a feature of Streamline to make the game run smoother if the fps are low.

Streamsmooth maybe? And I rechecked my load order. Seems like The Natural_weather_HDR was activated after all. Looks like it activated itself. Could be the issue. Rebuilding patch now.

Nope, still doing it.

I's this behaviour showed by all sliders or just some?

Even if Streamline is not causing your issue, I recommend to unistall it.

Streamline it's not recommended anymore, becouse some bug were left unadressed, and it was left behind by other mods, like Oblivion stutter remover, and now by Oblivion Reloaded, with it's internal dynamic FPS managment and RamDisk feature.

Both the new mods are more powerful and faster, becouse they hook directly the game code, while StreamLine it was just a scripted mod.

Also Streamline as the very bad habit to save during or just after combat using the internal(scripted) quicksave feature instead of Oblivion quicksave.

Saving in combat(expecially when you are facing multiple opponents) can corrupt the savegame, more than using quicksave/autosave

Ah, didn't know that. I'm afraid that if I uninstall it, it will break my save game. It should be fine you think?

Also, I use an ENB and noticed that OR adds graphics effects, so I'm afraid that it will conflict.

It WAS streamline. I'm going to go ahead and uninstall my ENB and check out OR. Thanks alot for your help, guys!

You missed this particular Doyledeth. I read some times ago(when I tried ENB) that some ENB configurations can cause thew issue you are experiencing. In conjuction with mod as Streamline that manage the FPS with vanilla functions.

You should install OSR anyway.

Also can I suggest a thing(a bit off topic)? IMHO Oblivion reloaded effect are much better than ENB effect. Also ENB support for Oblivion has ceased some times ago. Enb applies only post-processing effects. while OR can replace every vanilla shader as the water shader, rain, snow, LOD, terrains. OR has access to informations ENB normally doesn't(for skyrim someone made a plugin to allow enb to access this informations)

Also you should look to all the new features OR bring, other then the graphical aspect.

Enb is not more powerful that OR for post-processing shaders, except maybe the use of a more complex depth-buffer by ENB. The difference is that OR shaders are more centered on a balance quality/performance while ENB shader more on quality.

Some ENB shader could probably be ported to OR.

 

Edit: Happy that you resolved

Are the sliders supposed to go back to 100 percent when I exit the menu? I tried putting them down to 50 percent but the only one that sticks is Tree fade. The others just go back to 100. and it's killing my frames. It goes down to 30 alot and I havent even activated any of the effects yet.

Now it's doing the same thing Streamline did. Up and down. This is annoying, lol.

Doyledeth... I have weird stuff happen with my Oblivion install sometimes. 

Honestly, the best solution is to backup your stuff, and reinstall oblivion. Don't install any mods and see if it is still happening.

If it is still happening, then you know it's an issue with your computer (graphics card drivers maybe, or graphics program like Geforce Experience).

If it is not happening, then reinstall mods in batches and test to see if it happens again.

Is my method long and tedious? Yes. However, it will work.

Good luck.

Well, now it just stays at 100 on the sliders no matter what, but I can still play just fine. I'm not reinstalling, since I had to do that at least 5 times already, haha. It's definitely not my computer. Stutter Remover seemed to have caused the up and down on the sliders issue with Oblivion Reloaded (not streamline, which was my original problem).

Is your Oblivion.ini still just read only?

Karma: 0 (0 votes)

Yeah, you'll have to turn read-only off if you want Oblivion to save its changes again. :)

No, it's turned off. I had to make a change because OR wanted me to.
