The FPS optimiser modifies the display settings of the game, on-the-fly in real-time, to ensure that a consistent FPS is achieved. It's something I'd wanted all my gaming life, and never known I wanted. When I first read about this I thought that it would dumb things down, remove small objects and complex textures, and make the game plain but playable on older hardware. The FPS Optimizer's main use is ensuring the game always plays at a reasonable number of Frames Per Second (FPS). That in itself makes me extremely happy, but it gets better. Most importantly to me, this allows one to directly set the resolution used by the game, and also modifiy the Field Of View (FOV) calculations so there's no distortion. This is when I find an absolute masterpiece, the Morrowind FPS Optimizer. Heck, I may even want the game to extend across monitors. I want to use the whole display, and I want it in windowed mode so I can use my second monitor at the same time. I don't want a distorted display, or sideways letterboxing. You see, Morrowind only runs at 1600x1200, and I have a 1920x1200 display on my gaming laptop.
I download the Morrowind Visual Pack which has a lot of gorgeous retexturing, and the Unofficial Morrowind Patch which fixes hundreds of in-game bugs.Ĭan I play the game yet? Nope, I'm still not happy. I'm not interested in most of it, but I'd love updated textures and scenery so I don't feel like I'm playing a game from four years ago. Having been out for a few years, the game has lots of community-written content. That works a treat, with the text at a regular size, but still much easier to read. Try number two, alter the in-game font to the cleaner, console font: Excellent! Unfortunately, trying to read a book or journal results in text being written outside the drawable container, which results in an exception, which results in pain and suffering. Sure enough, the game starts with a lovely, clean, large, sans-serif for all the dialogues. I try to set the larger font for regular text: Morrowind seems to use its own font format, and the game comes with three font packs. Luckily, there's a Morrowind.ini file with settings inside it. So I go looking for mods (Morrowind has lots of mods) to increase the font size, and find none whatsoever. I play for a bit, it's fun, but there's a lot of text in a small fantasy-styled font, and that gets painful after a while. I've only just got around to playing it, and it's made me realise just how fussy I can be about my games.Īfter installing the game, two expansions, and three patches, I start the game at its highest resolution (1600x1200). If you don't play Morrowind, you may find it extremely dull.Ī while ago Jacinta found me Morrowind in a bargain bin, and brought it home. Warning: This is written primarily for myself and others wanting to get Morrowind to run at high resolutions and frame-rates.
