Hi all,
This post is low key part 3 of this unfortunate series of me trying to get the game to run decently on my high end PC
I tried a bunch of methods, I've lost count at this point, but I got it working! Game is running solid-ish which is good enough for me!!
Except for the fact that foliage is a thing of the past and there's no grass which makes the game look like OG Oblivion lmao (there are also lighting flickering issues)
I'm pretty sure recompiling the shades would fix this, but I can't figure out how. I tried deleting Save_Settings.sav which worked once (before I had this issue) but the game didn't create a new Save_Settings.sav file, even after changing the settings, so I can't attempt this again (also where is it storing my settings if the file is gone? lol). I tried deleting Oblivion.ini, reinstalling the game, it won't recompile and stuff is just not rendering correctly now.
How do I prompt the game to recompile shaders?
P.S. Never in my two decades of gaming have I been forced to do this much work just to play a game I paid for, this is a mess, worst part is the game itself is a masterpiece and worth the effort.
