Firedoom Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Is anyone familiar with this particular bug/conflict. I imagine I made some stupid mistake, but it persists through deactivation of all mods... after creating a new game... I think this cause is hopless
gregathit Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Firedoom, are you running COBL by chance? Post your load order so we can take a look at what you have to see if we can figure this out. Also are you loading up a normal save, an auto or quick save?
Firedoom Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 The way it worked was that I could load up the game just fine and play for hours, but as soon as I decided to load a save at any point during play, well almost everything would appear fine until I opened inventory. Then it would crash to desktop immediately. That effect was recreatable with 100% chance of success. It worked even with the start of a new character with no activated mods. Â Also, after loading a save (again, specifically from play) I noticed that Estrus spells would work, but wouldn't animate my character. Â In the end I decided to swap out the broken mess that was my Data folder for an old backup, and now I'm picking at the carcass for tasty morsels. Â I really just didn't want to take any more time to try to sort that one out. It's like trying to find a needle in 20 gigs of haystack. Besides, I'm more interested in modding now than playing a character. So I guess it was more important to me to be up and running again ASAP.
gregathit Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 Loading a save after playing a bit is problematic at best with Oblivion. I think it is part of its memory heap management and purging process - OSR and Streamline help greatly with this. Â Yea, frequent backups are really the only way to fly unless you want to spend a month digging through gigs worth of files to find what often appears to be an innocuous item is bringing down the whole house of cards! Â Well hopefully it was just a flaw of that install and the backup will work for you!
Slammer64 Posted December 10, 2011 Posted December 10, 2011 I was having a crash on opening inventories and merchants till I set TamagoClub realism level to 3 (no sperm or womb shown),. That fixed it. You wouldn't happen to be running Dark DarnUI and TamagoClub? That's what was causing it for me.
Firedoom Posted December 10, 2011 Author Posted December 10, 2011 I was running just the regular DarNified UI, but no Tamago Club. In the end I wasn't running anything but vanilla(ish) Oblivion and it was still crashing. It's a behavior I haven't encounterd before, usually I can deactivate mods and find out who's at fault by activating one mod at a time but, again, this persisted through the deactivation of ALL mods (other than official DLCs and the unnofficial patches).
Slammer64 Posted December 11, 2011 Posted December 11, 2011 Might try starting with a newly generated .ini file, sometimes that helps too.
