My INI file lost all its line breaks and now I can't do anything

[banjo2E]

As per title.

 

I spent 3 hours trying to manually re-add the line breaks in all the correct locations, but Oblivion still crashes on start up and I can't figure out what I've missed. I'd appreciate any help.

 

Here's what I've got so far:

Wow. Wall of text. Next time try using code tags or a something so that people don't have to scroll through all of that to tell you to just go and download a default ini or extract your default ini from your Oblivion disk again.

[banjo2E]

Wow. Wall of text. Next time try using code tags or a something so that people don't have to scroll through all of that to tell you to just go and download a default ini or extract your default ini from your Oblivion disk again.

 

That is in code tags.

 

Thanks for your complete lack of help. I was trying to not have to use the default ini because I've got a lot of mods and I don't know how many of them did things with the ini file.

 

Using the default ini only gets me as far as the bik videos and freezes before actually loading any mods or the main menu, but I know enough about oblivion to know that that's probably a mod problem.

[geraintwd]

I am having the same problem. If I delete the ini and let the game re-create it, it's fine for a while, until I install another mod, rebuild my bashed patch and then BAM! I can't load a saved game without a CTD and all my lovely line breaks are gone. I'm getting tired of letting the game recreate the ini over and over again and having to keep changing all the settings from their defaults.

 

EDIT: I have now got to a point where even if I go back and uninstall some of my most recently installed mods (even ones that worked fine before) and delete the ini and let the game recreate it, it will still CTD on attempting to start a new game or load a save.

 

Before anyone asks, I am using Bash, BOSS, and I have correctly installed my mods using BAIN and following the instructions for each one.

 

EDIT 2: I found the cause of my crashes was that updating OBSE to 021 meant that it didn't play nicely with my OSR heap algorithm setting, so I changed the latter and it doesn't crash. It still messes with my line breaks though.

 

Any ideas appreciated.

Thanks

[andrew20195]

I had the same problem, then I downloaded Notepad++ (I think I remember Gopher talking about it in one of his Skyrim videos). Even with no line breaks in the .ini file, Notepad++ will organize the lines.
