My framerate suffers heavily when an NPC or creature is displayed, or battles are going on. What slould I do?
NPCs and creatures are very complicated geometry-wise, so this requires more processing than most other objects. In future versions of Oldblivion, this might be improved by dynamically changing settings to try and keep the framerate stable. As of now, it is recommended to use the TLB command in the console to disable fancy lighting and gain up to 30 FPS. You can use the same command to turn this effect off. Adaptive lighting forces TLB whenever you hit the lower threshold for 5 or more seconds, and turns it off if you keep the FPS over the upper threshold for 5 or more seconds.
