FogMist issue causes fps drop

Post » Thu Feb 28, 2013 7:42 am

Dear bethesda, first of all i must say.. The hard work you guys put in the playstation version of
Skyrim was definatly worth it, thanks ALOT!
Most of the time my game seems fine, with often some stutter from time to time, but hey.. it's alright, atleast my fps is most of my gameplay a steady one, also no more freezes etc.
But... there is one more thing i would love to see next patch, since the launch i've experienced one issue that's still not solved.
I'm talking about the Fog/Mist that has been placed in many dungeons, sometimes the Fog/Mist is SO intense that it affects the system a bith to hard wich causes fps drops.
Like: while im running through the Fog/Mist it causes a huge fps drop.. and when im through it's gone.
Or something like when im fighting in massive Fog/Mist.. it's almost impossible to aim right at your foes because of the huge framerate drop.. Only when im out of that Fog/Mist it gets steady again and i can aim fine like it supossed to be.
You can notice this issue already from the beginning, while your escaping helgen.. and step into the keep, there are several places in that dungeon that have this massive Fog/Mist wich causes my first fps drop.
I thought this was only an issue there, but while i was more into the game i noticed several dungeons who has this issue to, im always playing on master so i definatly need a good aim, sometimes i even die because of this issue, cause i can't aim right..
I agree it is beautifull and gives a nice athmosphere but if it causes lag, it's not worth it..
Now my question is: is there some way you guys can decrease the Fog/Mist with a patch? So we don't lose an fps drop while walking or fighting through the Fog/Mist?

I though I was the only one who had this kind of issue. You should have posted this in the general forums. I think it might affect almost everyone.

I get severe framerate drops around Morthal, Riften, Ragged Flagon, all Forts, and Broken Fang Cave.

Hehe, i think everyone did thought that, but some friends of mine reported this issue to wich means we're not the only one that encounters this situation, it's definatly something bethesda should take care off, its a well known issue
I agree, the amount of dungeons, forts or even city's that has this issue is just ridicoules... they should decrease the Fog/Mist or any other solution for it atleast.
I hope the crew will take care of it.
