I apoligize I rebooted the tablet and everything looks great with the new apk. I will make sure I do that before reporting on here next time.

Loki0331, actually from what I understand the performance issues are kind of normal, especially in places like Balmora. I myself got performance to a reasonable level on my Snapdragon 820 device by setting the resolution to 1066x600. This might seem low but I also added 4x msaa in settings.cfg and it looks completely smooth (plus GUI scaling can just be set to 1x). I also set physics to 15fps. This setup allows for very smooth framerates outside cities and even smoother in interiors and acceptable (15-30-ish) in cities.

how do you set that resolution?
The GUI adjustment is not the same as what I am wanting to do which is set the res lower on my 2K screen to get better performance out of it.

UPDATE strike all that. I found it as it is now in the menu to change a custom res.
Thanks xyzz!!

It is playable, but frustrating.

Add these lines in settings.cfg, the picture will deteriorate a bit (almost imperceptibly), but fps will rise very significantly.

[Camera]
small feature culling = true
small feature culling pixel size = 16

[Terrain]
distant terrain = true
lod factor = 0.6

Manually uninstalling/reinstalling finally solved my config file problems, and have implemented these settings. Also implemented the following to harness the 2 cores on my device that weren't being used by OpenMW:

[Cells]
preload num threads = 3

The improvements were dramatic. The game is much more playable overall, frames outside are averaging in the 20s-30s, interiors are buttery smooth at 100+ fps. Also, my device is much cooler when running the app now. Before adding these options it was getting very hot and consuming a lot of battery, now the opposite is true. Big thanks to all those that helped.

The new APK is not letting me select the folder I have the game or the data files as a path. I am using the same path as the previous version. Any suggestions?

If you're getting a crash, I'll upload a new version which fixes it. If you're getting an error message, paste it here as well as the file listing of your Morrowind folder.

Note: This release has a new application ID as well as different savedata and config storage path. To migrate your old save files copy the "saves" directory from `/sdcard/Android/data/com.libopenmw.openmw/share/openmw` to `/sdcard/Android/data/is.xyz.omw`. **Do not delete the old application until you make a copy of the save data and confirm it works!**

- Changed application ID
- Fixed crash on new installs
- Changed config file locations
- Changed default physics and drawing distance settings to improve performance
- Implemented automated GUI scaling detection
- Various UI improvements

The message I am getting with the last two APK uploads.

Please select a directory which contains both the Morrowind ini file and the data file directory.

Here is the path for my Morrowind file that has been working until the last two APK files
