OSG and Windows Builds

[Slissith]

Hey guys.

I've been playing OpenMW on Windows 64-bit build for a while though. So far, I've been getting Framerate as low as 15 (no mods) in Balmora.

Does anyone else experience this? If the Windows Builds use OSG, shouldn't the Framerate be higher? Or it does have to do with collisions?

Thanks in advance!

I certainly get better framerate than that. Perhaps post your specs?

Balmora is definitely the benchmark city viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3197

Thanks for the quick response guys!

Sure!

RAM: 6 GB
CPU: Intel i5 2.4 GHz
GPU: NVIDIA® Geforce® GT520M 1GB graphics & Intel® HD Graphics 3000

It seems that those who scored similarly low as I did were using AMD with Windows. Not sure what the problem is, but it probably has more to do with my computer...

Try out one of the ogre builds, like v0.36.1

If you see improvement with the OSG build, then I'd say it's your computer.

If I had to bet vanilla Morrowind runs faster on your PC. When you bring up the FPS on OpenMW do you choose the more detailed setting? I know that can lower the FPS on slower systems.

I usually get 90fps in Balmora on OpenMW with my i7 1.7 to 3.3GHz intel HD 5000 MacBook Air from 2013..

Tested in Balmora (Exterior)

0.36.1
Minimal FPS: 40

0.41
Minimal FPS: 22


I think the lower FPS of 0.41 should be attributed to more physics calculations. Theoretically however, 0.41 should still have a higher FPS...
