Lots of Issues

[GreatKazooMan]

It's been a bit of a struggle to get this to work just right for me.

 

I have taken away the mods that'd conflict with this one (pretty much everything), but am still having trouble. Does this at all need any other modification like meshes and textures to be seen like you show in your screenshots, or not? I have characters that don't wear the right clothes, some who only have the default vanilla undies on instead of being naked, and others have the wrong textures. And naturally the game crashes a LOT for some reason.

 

Defragged the drive as well, so it can't be that.

 

Here's my small load order:

 

 

Oblivion.esm
Hair Master.esm
Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp
UOPS Additional Changes.esp
Oblivion Citadel Door Fix.esp
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp
USIPS Additional Changes.esp
DLCSPellTomes.esp
HGEC AA,B,D-Cup Chainmail None replacer.esp
HUD Status Bars.esp
Setbody.esp
Alternate Start Revamped.esp
VToy.esp

 

 

Is there anything wrong with this small load? Maybe the Hair Master (though it doesn't seem to affect any races anyway), or the non-replacer? Setbody maybe? Though without that I couldn't get my character to look right without clothes on - she'd just have the default vanilla undies on...or maybe it's some other meshes added by the other mods, even though I took them off the load list? It's really got me stumped!

It works after a fashion now.

 

Took off the setbody and added DMRA one from Nexus to the meshes and textures of my Data folder. Also took out the HGEC chainmail non-replacer just because I'm using DMRA anyway, and the Hair Master because I'm just an Imperial and they have no other hair options (at least in vanilla game).

 

It still CTD's occasionally, but I think it's just a matter of scripts colliding with each other - for example, when I had to follow Claudia for the first time and a vanilla citizen started to talk to her, it crashed. I think this was just interfering with her intended script, so the game dived. Anyway, I shall muddle through on my own now. Nobody read or looked at this thread, so it doesn't matter anyway!

You are too fast for us

Glad it worked though. Most CTDs are when the VtoyFnude2 function try to disrobe your toon and you wear a special item, like quest or with a script. If your Oblivion is already a bit unstable, try playing naked as much as you can (I mean your Char of course, although you're welcome to play as you wish, we don't judge  ).

 

Tell me if it worked.

Cheers!

Oh it's working. I am now up to the moment you need to hunt the deer for that special leather. It hasn't crashed that much, but it does it a few times every few hours. I just think it is a result of the scripts between yours and the game itself are not playing well together. I save like every five minutes to make sure this works properly, so at least I can get this far without too much trouble.

 

My only gripe is that there's no real leisure time to repeat actions I'd like to. All we have so far is scripted stuff only and nothing repeatable. I don't know yet if you added some repeatable actions in the game, but so far this has been my only real disappointment with the mod. Otherwise, the mod is quite interesting, and the story is nicely fleshed out -- just wish there was some kind of routine we could spend time enjoying in the mod. It'd be nice to play around aside from the main story or even side quests every now and then!

 

Anyway, I shall endeavour to experience all I can in the mod and hope that I don't experience those dreaded shutdowns that sometimes occur in mods (and happened once on this one too)....

You're at 5% of the story so wait a bit . CLS scripts are not having issue with Oblivion, it must be something else, try to disable it and play you'll see that your game will still crash. 

Keep also in mind, CLS is a story by itself, just simply ignore Oblivion while you play, unless very simple dungeon crawling/monster bashing.

 

Good luck and take your time or you'll miss a lot! Save often, you may want to retry something!

[GreatKazooMan]

I have actually narrowed it down to when characters sleep. It ALWAYS crashes when I am watching someone walk to a bed and then try to lie down. It only happens with your mod, and never with anyone else's. It could be too many animations in my folder? But that wouldn't explain why it never happened before I tried your mod....

 

Sometimes when I have played for some time and then try to warp somewhere it will crash instead of load the game, and that only happens when playing your mod too.

 

HOWEVER, I can get by with just saving often and playing it safe. It's only crashed about ten times in five hours, so that's a record for Oblivion, I guess.

[Grumpf]

You may want to PCB regurlaly in order to free up memory. There is a mod somewhere from that, PCB is purge cell buffers.

 

Did you defrag your Oblivion folder? It helps a lot, trust me. What other mods do you use? I can check what happens with them too. I say that as you maybe using new mods that other players will too and if they encounter the same problem we may as well try to fix it as we go!

 

Cheers!

[GreatKazooMan]

Stopped playing as the game crashed like ten times in a few minutes with only the load order you saw above and with defrag and keeping the PC fresh. I just don't have the drive or time to fiddle anymore with it, sorry.

 

Thanks for the time you took to answer my queries and I hope that all the bugs are gone by the time the full version of Gold is ready - I may try again! ^_~

[Grumpf]

Thanks! I will probably give it a last run before final final final release but there is hardly any bug left to this point. The engine is simply pushed to its extreme limit, depending on one machine to another, that makes Oblivion unstable... A new OBSE may help too.

Cheers!
