Well, i've since nuked that save. It turns out the save was corrupted. I had an old save of a different character. Been playing for hours (for a couple of days) and it only started crashing now. The other save crashed the same way. In Rockmilk Cave and entering a different area. It's irritating. Idk why it's doing this. When i started my other character over again after deleting that save i haven't seen a single crash since. I wonder how many overwrite saves it takes to mess up your game. Because on this other older save that i went back to. I think it may have a few... Omfg. Also. Stutter and noticeably slowdown when traveling on horseback. I think i'll try tweaking .ini first for that issue. But as for the crashing. Idk.. Oh and i do have fast exit.

So i wanted to figure out why all of a sudden my character's arms were clipping in 1st person (from the shoulders). For some reason it just started happening again. After going into the OblivionReloaded.ini i saw the offset values for the camera. Started playing with those. Then i realized i had the camera mode set to 0. No changes would take effect. Then i do some research and apparently you set your FOV to 0 and it fixes clipping issues. I set it so 0. It doesn't do anything. I revert back to the default 90.0. The clipping stops but the menus in the game (Main Menu in particular) is transparent. This game is the best. EDIT: I just decided to reinstall OR. It did the trick... Some weird stuff happened with the game taking about 30 seconds to launch. I'm back to just my first issue. Clipping around the shoulder area of my character's arms when casting spells or swinging weapons. Anyone know what i'm talking about? How can i fix this? I dont wanna touch the damn OR.ini if i dont have to. Screw that.

I haven't modded out the game extremely. I see a pattern here. I JUST had to $*it-can my 20+ hour save because of corruption. While playing that save, i was crashing when entering new areas. I just tried going into Frostcrag Spire. Crash. And it crashed earlier. Is there ANY surefire, best practice for crashes and stability/performance/ungarbaging this game? It's just a technical nightmare. I miss Fallout 3... Active Mod Files:

I just found and installed Realistic Leveling. Seems to be well praised. I had to start a character all over again as my save file got corrupted. I am wondering how i can alleviate the pain of Oblivion's default leveling system. It's just goddamn awful.. OH NOES! I GOTTA MAKE SURE I GET ALL +5s. I hate that BS. Worrying/playing a specific way to make a precaution for a game = Failure in game design. Skyrim streamlined and fixed these problems. So, is Realistic Leveling basically the go-to mod for this? Or could there be more?

Damn... I was hoping to use a certain glitch to level back up to level 10 quickly. I made i got all +5s... Vid below of what i'm talking about. So if i do this, it could corrupt my save? Ugh... Great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxbaYNJngMs

Is there any SURE way of preventing corruption through some sort of best practice, without the use of mods? Relying on a mod to safely save your game. That speaks volumes about how broken the game is.

I was told once when playing Fallout 3 a long time ago; saving into a new slot each time you save is the way it should be done. Is this the same for Oblivion. I dont want to play another 23 hours and crash again. This was painful. And Oblivion's leveling system makes it exponentially more painful. How do you prevent save game corruption? Total BS...

Yeah, this doesn't add up. I think this should just be considered solved. I can't see it being anything else other than my save being corrupted. Loaded my level 1 character. He's perfectly fine.

Oh, and i'm playing the Elven Maiden quest. Saved right outside Myrvana's house. If that matters. Found no notes about anything like this breaking the game on the uesp page. EDIT: Save was pink in WB for some reason. I ran BOSS, did some tweaking, all is in the green and no errors at all. What are signs of a corrupted save?

Not reporting missing content. No error messages. Ran Boss just to be sure. Can't load at all. CTD's.

I have speedhack and all the memory optimizations in place. Decides to crash fairly often and it's annoying. EDIT: Oh yea, just to specify, this save has 170 hours on it. 14.6 MB in size.

bump.. i just wanna play as my vampire.

Anyone know what's up with the blocky textures when it's foggy?

Anyone know any fix for this? Or the cause? http://imgur.com/a/PcDDx

Played around with ENB settings. Disabled mist. Still there. The mist/fog looks BLOCKY, to be exact, after more close examination of it.

Ok. So i've been doing some reading and apparently white flashing/flickering can be caused with certain Nvidia drivers during loading screen. I really didn't think it would apply to my drivers, but i did a driver update. And it fixed it. I still, however, have the fog problem. Fog looks like stain-glass. It's weird looking.

So i decided to test out ENB again. As soon as i set speedhack value to false and re-enable graphics mods there is flickering on the 3D models displayed during loading. Also, fog has a bizarre look to it. It looks sort of transparent. Like water, almost. Very blurred. And moves away as i move towards it. Also. A lot of options in the Shift + Enter menu are missing for ENB. Why is this?

So i've been using SweetFX Configurator pretty much the whole time since i've been playing the game January of last year; relatively speaking. I naturally tried Realvision a long time ago ever since i saw the first video of it. I uninstalled it after about 10-15 minutes because the performance impact was far too great for what it was. SweetFX Configurator looks great with HDR. Well... sort of i've always tried doing this back and forth tweaking between the HDR settings and it always looks far too dominant and awful. Things are always either too bright or too dark and yet the light is so saturated. It's hard to describe. SweetFX Configurator users will know what i'm talking about. Now, i have had ENBoost for a while. What i want to know is how i can enable ENB graphics enhancements on the fly. Can i toggle between on and off? Can they be ON while also having ENBoost on? I still don't understand fully how ENB works. And ultimately, i think Skyrim looks great at times, and other times it has this overall haziness to it. I cranked up the Vibrance (saturation) in SweetFX and it does help.. but... maybe i just haven't found the perfect settings? I still think the HDR settings are just broken. I've invested quite a bit of time playing with those and it's still crap. My LO in case people are wondering which mods i'm using. AND here's my Steam screenshot library so you can see what my Skyrim looks like for yourself. https://steamcommunity.com/id/prenihility/screenshots/?appid=72850&sort=newestfirst&browsefilter=myfiles&view=imagewall Skyrim.esm Update.esm Dawnguard.esm HearthFires.esm Dragonborn.esm Unofficial Skyrim Legendary Edition Patch.esp ClimatesOfTamriel.esm HighResTexturePack01.esp HighResTexturePack02.esp HighResTexturePack03.esp RaceMenuMorphsCBBE.esp SkyUI.esp RaceMenu.esp RaceMenuPlugin.esp FNIS.esp dD - Realistic Ragdoll Force - Realistic.esp Dual Sheath Redux.esp ClimatesOfTamriel-Dawnguard-Patch.esp ClimatesOfTamriel-Dragonborn-Patch.esp dD - Enhanced Blood Main.esp Purewaters.esp XPMSE.esp EnhancedLightsandFX.esp ELFX - Exteriors.esp immersive roads.esp ELFX - Weathers.esp Cloaks.esp Run For Your Lives.esp fallentreebridges.esp SMIM-Merged-All.esp Cloaks - Dawnguard.esp Illustrious HDT Cloaks.esp SFO - Dragonborn.esp Skyrim Flora Overhaul.esp GrassOnSteroids_NaturalEdition_SFO.esp HDTPhysicsWeaponSling.esp KS Hairdos - HDT.esp RaceMenuOverlays.esp BatTravel.esp FNISspells.esp TimingIsEverything.esp ForswornHAIR.esp MatchingCraftableForsworn.esp MatchingSetFix.esp MatchingSetFixes.esp Unique Uniques.esp Dual Sheath Redux Patch.esp

So, yeah... i've been spoiled by New Vegas and its weapon customization. What i also hate is the spread of weapons in FO3. You can shoot an Assault Rifle from a rest and shoot one single bullet, and it'll still go sideways. Pretty annoying. yet VATS performance of weapons is totally different. The spread is so much tighter. I've been looking at some mods, but unsure of whether or not any of them do what i'm looking for. I suppose what i'm asking for is a more realistic weapons mod? One that doesn't utilize the randomized spread pattern. It's just so silly. I've been looking at FOWE, but it doesn't exactly explain what is done to weapons. Any suggestions?

Using Natural Weather. It starts snowing whenever i fast travel to a new location. It stops several seconds later. I noticed i had the Natural Weather HDR and Natural Weather HDR Bugfree esps both active. I deactivate one and try to load the game, then it crashes.

So yeah, for a year now, i've had this problem. Vampire race disabler dll is in the OBSE Plugins folder. I have OBSE. I went into Oblivion.ini and the VampireTweaks section doesn't exist. I think this is my best bet. I've been trying to fix the Vampire Face Bug for a year now, and no one knows what the hell is going on. Bashed Patch fix in Wrye Bash will NOT work. The UOP Fix for it does not work either. Why? I suppose the right expert hasn't showed up - no one knows. The Vampire Race Disabler seems to be my only hope. I just need to get it working.

.

One year later, and i honestly can't remember where i left off. WOO! At the very least, i wanted to run through everything over again. I went back to the beginning. And none of it adds up. I think my best chance is an expert on all the mods i have installed. Particularly OCO. It's the only mod i think could be conflicting. This sucks... :pinch:

Author hasn't been online in a long time.. and hasn't logged in since. Anyone know why this perk is being a pain right now?

Hmm... No word from author yet. I can't find ANYTHING about anyone having this problem with the Armor of the Old Gods. Everyone seems to just use the regular Forsworn stuff.
