granite_skin Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi, I recently purchashed oblivion and I can't even get out of the first level because, everytime I go to the sewers the loading bar loads and then the program ends. This is making me mad because, I spent my money and I can't even play it. Please help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossDweebe Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 We need more information -Have you done anything to the game after installation ?Mods, patches ?Are you talking about exiting the sewers, or the part of the game after the King gets killed ?

granite_skin Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 After the king gets killed. I have the main unofficial one in the top 100, amulet of the cheater, the game of the year version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossDweebe Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 And you have patched with the official 1.2.0146 patch ?Also do you have Oblivion Mod Manager ?You will need it for several things - among them setting your load order,and archive invallidation (it can be set up to do this automatically). The unofficial patch needs to be at the top of the load order, just below the Oblivion esp.You other mods come after. EDIT: Just thinking you get an amulet when the King dies don't you ?(It's been a while)If so then it may be the amulet mod, but I am not familiar with that mod. EDIT 2: just looked. Yep that is certainly one cheat mod. Frankly - why not just setthe level of difficulty lower ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granite_skin Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 how would lowering the difficulty help with the program crashes, and im not sure how to check for the 1.2.0146 patch and yes i have omm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossDweebe Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 No I didn't mean it to help with the crash, just a comment. I you have not installed the patch then you will have to download it.Unless the GOTY is patched. I am not familiar with it, but if you havethe Unoficial Patch installed you will have problems as it requires you to be patchedto 1.2.0146.You may be able to get the patch on the Nexus, but I think you will have to go to the Bethesda Oblivion site for it. But I would start by disabling the amulet mod as you seem to be having theproblem just after, or when, you are given the Amulet of Kings. EDIT: the read me in your Oblivion Folder will say what version you are patched to.EDIT 2: I just read bben's guide to reinstalling. The GOTY is supposed to be patched.If you find that is not true download the SI patch as it includes the Oblivion updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwaxalot Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Hi, I recently purchashed oblivion and I can't even get out of the first level because, everytime I go to the sewers the loading bar loads and then the program ends. This is making me mad because, I spent my money and I can't even play it. Please help. Believe it or not, this is sometimes caused by unsupported hardware, specifically video. What is your video card and driver dates. You might also be having a problem with excessive background processes A Clean boot (a totally reversible process) can help by clearing all unneeded processes, then test the game. If the game now runs better, you can use task manager to locate offending processes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzirAphale001 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 GotY is fully patched.Try dissabling all mods until you've gotten out of the sewers (except for any race mods that you want to use). Although try following Qwaxalot's advice first, and see if that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwaxalot Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 The GOTY version is fully patched ONLY if you also installed disk 2 (Shivering Isles and KOTN) It's amazing how often we forget this, and how many people don't install the second disk. Also you'll want the Unofficial Oblivion Patch, and the Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
