i just bought oblivion off steam in the sales because of playing fallout 3 and nv before wanted to see what the fuss was about, anyway i intalled the game using steam etc loaded it up it recognized my graphics card (which is a gtx 560) selected medium settings, i selected 1920x1080 to match my mointor and selected new game to see oblivlion start to lag or stutter and crash with a black box at the top left and an error message.

 

so far ive searched for ages and downloaded the unofficial patch,4gb patch and still nothing works looked at lots of other peoples post with simular problems and still nothing ive come here to see if u guys can help.

Hi

 

Welcome along! Quick thought but I'm sure other experts will fill you in with the details. First don't allow the game to run under Program Files as Windows 7 UAC can cause issues - load the game to a root C folder (mine is C:\Games|Oblivion. Secondly make sure you run the game as Administrator, and compatibility as XP Service Pack 2. You may have to play around with video settings - my creaky wreck won't handle HDR so try with that switched off.

 

I've run mine (disk version) on Win 7 for ages - only for it to die in game saves (I'm waiting on some help here myself!).

 

I'm sure others will have lots more to say! It's a good community. Good luck. Clive

I run Win7 x64 pro - no problems at all - NO compatibility mode needed.

 

For steam installs, you can move steam out of the program files folder also.

thanks for the help guys im trying what you said now, but i dont know what it means but when it crashes i have like 100 ac3filter icons open?

 

Hi again

 

This is something I know nothing about - other than the fact I came across this yesterday while searching for a solution to my own problems.

 

Take a look at: http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-898645.html (Mr Darky 2:55pm) and also at

http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/418992-the-freezing-and-nothing-works/

 

It seems Oblivion is picky over audio codecs. Hopefully these web links might help?

 

Once again - the experts will be along with more solid answers I am sure but since I'd seen these I thought at least you should know about them.

 

All the best, Clive
