ok this may have been asked, however the forums came up empty as did google.. I am hoping the good people here can help me..
I have been playing oblivion off an on for a while now... ( i am not that far cuz there is always another game that gets me sidetracked) anyhow, when i first installed oblivion this problem did not occur... the game ran beautifully smooth no lag when loading new areas or anything never paused...now is a different story though... nothign new that I can think of... but every time an enemy comes near me the game pauses for a good 30seconds... and the hard drive thrashes... maybe someone else can figure this out?
I have tried disabling sound in the ini to no avail.. chceck my hd's they are all fine smart wise and defragged. i also uninstalled and reinstalled my codecs from k-lite..uninstalled the game and reinstalled it and it still persists.. I should note also that no other games seem to pose any problems I play crysis, cod 4 and waw along with 27 other games ....my hardware is below
