game runs normal, character moves slow

[jimbabwe]

every once in a while, regardless of what I'm doing, my character will lose the ability to move. He can still swing a sword, cast spells etc. but he moves like he's stuck in an object. Legs don't move and just barely budges forward. If I save, quit and restart it works normally. Has anyone else encountered this one?

Does this happen during/after jumping or after emerging from water?

There's a game-engine bug I've encountered in Oblivion/Nehrim in which you get 'stuck' into jump mode, and you usually look like you're jumping eternally, causing you to creep around slowly and be unable to jump.

If this is the case, you can fix it by splashing back into the water.

Replace bUseJoystick=1 by bUseJoystick=0 in Oblivion.ini. (With the next patch the launchre will do this automatically.)
