Game freeze

[Blaydon]

After going through the log and seeing tamara my game freezes just as player control is being restored as the HUD fades into view.

 

Any ideas?

[Grumpf]

Is the song playing? I don't see why but it maybe that as this is the first thing that should play.

[Blaydon]

No the song doesn't play but she moves her ass on the little pillar for a while and then it freezes.

 

My load order is as follows on a fresh Oblivion install

 

Oblivion.esm

All right then you may have corrupted files. I'll redownload the movie music and video file and make sure you got soundcommand.dll uncorrupted as well.

[Blaydon]

Re downloaded the video and sounds files and replaced them still no effect on the problem.

 

Song still doesn't play.

 

where is this Soundcommand.dll supposed to be it does not appear to be anywhere in my oblivion files and was not in the sound and video package CLS Gold MSVG12.1 anywhere. Actually ignore that I have found it in the runtime and will redownload to check.

 

I am using the normal esp not the gold so could this be connected to that as the sound files etc are gold is it possible there is some sort of disconnect there?

[Grumpf]

Normaly not. To this point you can try the gold esp though as you have already skipped all the new Gold material but I'm not 100% certain.

 

If you want, post your savegame files here and I'll give it a go.

 

Sorry for the late answer, my gamebox crashed today so I still haven't reached the Oblivion install part...

[Blaydon]

This is my savegame tried shifting the dll into the same folder as OBSE (didn't work) tried reloading the runtime and sound and video packs and that didnt work either.

 

Actually it will not let me attach the save game can i send it some other way? Got is converted to a rar file.

 

Tried the gold esp with exactly the same result.

 

It says I'm drawn closer and can't resist but my character does not move after this message, is it supposed to?

Save 415 - Pussy Galore - Sumuru Forest, Level 2, Playing Time 11.03.18.rar

[Grumpf]

Still installing Oblivion... Box is back up and running but not fully yet. I'll check your savegames ASAP.

[Blaydon]

Thanks

[Grumpf]

Just reinstalled 7zip to discover you forgot the .ess

[Blaydon]

.ess? not sure what you mean, what do i need to do?

[Grumpf]

I need all the files for your savegame and don't hesitate to send me 2 or 3 savegame.

 

Every save should have at least on .ess and one .obse file.

Cheers!

[Blaydon]

Is this what you need?

Save 415 - Pussy Galore - Sumuru Forest, Level 2, Playing Time 11.03.18.rar

[Grumpf]

I hate to be a burden but I really need both files just before the problem appears

The only thing that works now is CH3 but that's way too early.

 

Go into your game before you take the door in the trunk leading to Tamara, open the console and type "save grumpf".

 

Check in your save folder and send me grumpf.ess and grumpf.obse.

 

We'll fix it god dammit!

[Blaydon]

As requested

Desktop.rar

[Grumpf]

Just had a thought here... Do yo hear any music at all in your OB?

 

I said that cause I had a crashed and had to rebuild my Box using a Windows N version. I'm now downloading the media pack to fix it as I wasn't able to hear anything...

[Blaydon]

Can't remember if I have or not as I tend to have music turned right down so i can hear footsteps coming up behind me.

 

I could load an earlier save and turn the music slider up to check.

 

 

YES i hear music playing in the save the files i sent you, very nice music btw.

You're missing a LOT of CLS without the music... So your game wasn't frozen but you couldn't hear the song then?

[Blaydon]

no music was playing but had it turned down but the game freeze still happens.

[Grumpf]

Maybe it's corrupted. Try to place that in your music\vtoy folder.

You're certain the game is frozen? Nothing happens and you can't move the camera?

Tamara_Silence.7z

[Blaydon]

Just as the player controls are re enabled and the hud comes back up it freezes every time the only way to get out is a Ctrl Alt Del.

 

Will try the file. Tried it, still freezes, reinstalled all files wondered there is a vtoy.esp in both the gold mesh pack and the runtime9 pack which am i supposed to be using as they are different sizes. although it crashes with both.

[kshepherdsom]

Yes, I've come across the same fault, a game-breaking freeze-up that prevents any further progression with the module.

 

The PC arrives in the Sumuru Forest and is suspended in place (no navigation HUD etc) while Tamara sings (audibly). As the HUD is restored the game stops, with the just-appearing HUD icons semi-transparent. At that point no further keyboard or mouse command works in-game, including console, requiring Ctl-Alt-Del to escape to desktop.

 

This is with CLS Gold 33863 with Patch 1.

 

The workaround I used to continue this excellent adventure was, at the point just before passing through the log door to encounter Tamara, to use the console command  player.moveto xx0de0c9 (where xx is the load order number of vtoy.esp, as determined by whichever loader program you use). This skips the song and places the PC next to Tamara to commence the conversation that is meant to follow, and then allows the story to continue as planned.

 

 

 

 

[Grumpf]

Very bizarre indeed. Maybe the sound file is corrupted. Did you try to defrag your Oblivion folder ? It sounds silly but it really makes a difference.

 

Cheers!
