Openmw on the other hand is slower than the original engine. I’ve found it to be too slow to be played using integrated graphics cards found in older laptops.

I’m currently playing using mcp + mge xe + dxvk on Windows and it’s basically flawless, it looks better than openmw, and it is also faster.
