My problem? Oblivion will freeze right after all the intro videos have played (when the Daedric O icon usually appears and a loading bar happens to load content). It just never goes anywhere. However, this _only_ happens when I load a master file, a .esm, OTHER than Oblivion.esm. Any .ESM file. I've downloaded countless mods to try their ESM files. Any of them always cause it to freeze. I could have a hundred .esp files and it'd be fine. Yes, I have reinstalled oblivion with a clean install and no mods. I tried the vanilla game + an esm, and it froze. I tried it with all patches and the Shivering Isles + an esm, it froze. If I uncheck all .esm's but Oblivion, it's fine. I have no load order as it isn't important, but if you must know my current setup is: Oblivion.esm CMPartners.esm That's it. Literally. It's a clean install into the C:\Games folder with all permissions valid. CMPartners.esm is my newest attempt. If I disable it, the game loads. I even got real technical and tried debugging the Oblivion.exe using Visual Studio. It keeps going back and forth between two Assembly instructions, like it's stuck in a loop trying to load the master files (other than Oblivion). This is only my guess. Anyone have any clue what is going on? Yes, I also tried clearing the My Games\Oblivion folder of all data. This is being run on a Windows 10 OS. It is a disc version, not Steam. GOTY. Oh, and yes, I attempted to convert the .esm to an .esp, successfully. It still froze.
