Oblivion keeps crashing around city gates

[Z0mBieP00Nani]

I was not getting this glitch before, and I do not remember installing any new mods before the crashes started happening. Any time I try fast traveling to Corrol or any other city besides the imperial city, the game crashes. I have not tried going there on foot yet, but past attempts to walk to those locations after successfully fast traveling to a closer location has caused the game to crash. I do have a log from Crash Logger, which I will post (the most recent one), and it always throws the same error codes after every crash no matter which mods I remove. Maybe someone here can point me in the right direction, because I'm stumped.

mod list

Plugins.txt

[fejeena]

Is that the "Plugins.txt" file from the C partition ? ... C:/User/"User name"/AppData/Local/Oblivion/Plugins.txt
The "Plugins.txt" file is never sorted alphabetical . It is in the order of the loadorder of your esm and esp.  Did you edit the list before uploading? If that is the original, something is seriously wrong with your game.

Does your modmanager not work anymore?

The Plugins.txt is the load order the game use. The game can not load esp before esm. so your game with first load the esm in the order of your plugin.txt

Lovers with PK.esm

Oblivion.esm

then your esp

 

Don't you use Oblivion Modmanager?

Then the load order will loke like this

Oblivion.esm               Your load order does not start with Oblivion.esm and your other ESM.
DibellasWatch.esm
SPTDiverseGuards-Resources.esm
Beautiful People 2ch-Ed.esm
Better Cities Resources.esm
Lovers with PK.esm
TamagoClub.esm
HiyokoClub.esm
LoversCreature.esm
FastTravelDoubleFaceFix.esp
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
Raceenabler.esp
Better Cities .esp

. . .   my other esp

 

 

 

And in your Crash Logger file I see one big error: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Oblivion\
Oblivion never in C:\Program Files (x86) !!!!!  Unusual errors may occur or functions may not work properly.

No, I have never used a mod manager with any game. Maybe I have just gotten lucky all of these years. I didn't think the installation folder would be that big of an issue, but maybe it's different with older games. I have never noticed any issues with games that are newer than Oblivion with regard to the installation folder. Do you think changing the installation folder would make that big of a difference?

 

The load order I can understand. I used Loot on it a couple of times, and that's what it gave me. I'm pretty sure my load order was different before I was getting the crashes, though, so maybe that is the problem.

There are people who have no problem with the game in C program files.  But when problems with "unexplained" errors occur, it is often C  program files.

Maybe it will help. Maybe a Windows update is to blame.

 

And read my yellow Link below.   NEVER LOOT with Oblivion !!!!!!!

There is also an explanation how to move the game ( and Steam ) without reinstalling it

It's still crashing after getting rid of the old load order file. I haven't tried moving the files out of C/Program files yet though. Somehow I don't think that will make much difference, but you never know. I did update Windows to Windows 11 recently, but I'm pretty sure I have only been running Oblivion on Windows 11, which makes me think this is somehow mod related.

I know its old topic, but ...

 

Crash log says something about "grass". So my bet would be a mod that changes grass.

 

Do you use by any chanse Oblivion Reloaded? Then disable "Grass". As there are multiple versions of Oblivion Reloaded, you'll have to find out how to do it by yourself.

 

Do make a backup before you test anything.

 

P.S.:

I have Oblivion on C:\Program Files\ ... and no problem because of that.
