Oblivion Lag Then Crash?

Recommended Posts

I've had Oblivion GOTY from Steam for a while now and when I got a new PC my friend built for me I transferred it and all other games to my new one and it still worked fine with all my saves but then suddenly I started to have issues with it and Fallout New Vegas.

 

I lost all saves on New Vegas but I managed to get them back and make it work again by reinstalling it but Oblivion has a different issue and reinstalling it didn't help. All other games on Steam work fine with all saves.

 

When I start it, there's no main music and when I load a save it lags like crazy then it usually crashes after a while. It's really frustrating.

 

I had only 3 minor mods that I don't think makes much of a difference. One of them was the unofficial Oblivion patch which I reinstalled hoping it'd fix it but still no dice :\

 

The parts for my PC:

I'd really appreciate any help!

No music + crash is a clue that an audio codec is messing up Oblivion - a common problem. I've you've installed any codecs recently, try uninstalling them. Actually, if there are any uninstallable codecs, try uninstalling them.

Thanks for the response. Where can I find uninstallable codecs also what do they do and do I need them for anything?

On Windows 7, it's Control Panel > Programs and Features... but seeing that you're asking that question, better find a friend who is good with computers to check it out for you, just in case you uninstall something that you shouldn't have.
