OBSE 0021 crash on save

[z4m0lx3s]

I just did a fresh install of Oblivion on a new (to me) laptop, with a new Win7 64bit install.

 

I reused almost every single OBMM from my previous Oblivion install, except the following which were updated to their latest versions

 

- OBSE 0021

- Unofficial Oblivion Patches

- Map Marker Overhaul

- a few LPK packages NOT involving LPAF

 

I also reused the previous load order that worked for 200 hours with VERY few crashes, as well as that save game. I kept getting crashes when saving the game, and the only consistent problem was that instead of having a .ess and .obse file, the .obse file was missing. The crashes were completely random, where in the same spot one save would work, then a few seconds later it would crash.

 

So I rolled back to OBSE 0020, and so far the save crash did not occur yet even though I played through roughly the same path.

 

Did anyone else have issues with OBSE 0021? Should I upgrade to LPAF to solve this issue? I am considering switching to LPAF, but I wanted to make sure my base game was working properly.

 

I can post the load order if it's needed, but I doubt that's the cause. After all, it worked for 200 hours prior to this reinstall.

 

Edit: rolling back to OBSE 0020 did not help. Oblivion crashed with this too...

Start a new game. Using an old saved game from a previous installation is problematic at best.

Could it be related to this change on OBSE21:-

"-Updated project to Visual Studio 2010"

 

Have you installed the VS2010 runtimes?

This change (and the change to VS2012 in Blockhead 9) has some unfortunate side effects).

I rolled back to OBSE 0020, and it is still crashing. As before, it is random, sometimes it works, sometimes it crashes. I noticed if I save often there is a lesser chance of issues.

 

Starting a new game is not going to happen unless i have no other options. I want to finish this playthrough...

Start a new game for testing OBSE21 , escape the prison and run around Tamriel, test saving.

If a new game with OBSE21 works the prolem are your old saves, a bug in the saves caused by the change of OBSE 20 to 21 and back.

Then you can play your old character and live with the save bug ( but you know your game works fine)

If the test with OBSE21 new game  does not work well , you know there is another Problem you must find. (perhaps update MenuQue or other OBSE Plugins)

Did you saved the associated .obse file for your save? using the .ess file only won't do good for heavily modded games. Other than that I have to agree with Fejeena and Greg. You need to start a new game.

I always save both .ess and .obse, but that's not the issue here. My save was corrupt. I rolled back about 20 hours of game play and now I did everything that was crashing the game without any issues. I seemed to remember running into this save issue last time I played, but that was about a year ago. It definitely wasn't happening nearly as often with the old install.

 

Thanks for all the help, really enjoying running through Tamriel again.
