After some experimentation, it appears that the FPS Optimizer works pretty well. Thanks for the hint about resetting the MaxFPS in the .ini file. The help that accompanies the program is good as far as it goes, but it doesn't go far enough, in my opinion; some controls (like Changing Speed, and whether to use Linear or Quadratic Acceleration for auto adjustment) simply aren't discussed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
Also, on Morrowind Summit's boards, someone posted a long time ago their ENTIRE morrowind.ini file in plain text. It contains a few performance tweaks, and, for those that don't have it active, turns lines on in the map that shows fast travel paths. The link is: http://www.forumplanet.com/rpgplanet/morrowind/topic.asp?fid=4878&tid=635870 Just cut all but the mod information from your own ini and paste this in, skipping the section marked [Game Files] (back up your ini first.) You'll have to change MaxFPS again (I usually leave mine at a stable 60). Also, if you're using a lot of mods that have bening errors, place "AllowYesToAll=1" somewhere under the [General] heading. Also: http://www.tweaktown.com/document.php?dType=review&dId=316 is a really good performance tweak guide.
It may run good, but it can always be better <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
