AncientSpaceAeon Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 uninstalled G.E.C.K (fallout 3)I think it's a totally different game. Don't matters. Maybe you want to try saving (silly idea) in a different directory. (Example if you usually save in the "Data" folder, try saving it in some other folder). I don't really think this gonna work.

exanimis Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 When you start up the construction set, choose the esp, or the Oblivion esm, from the list to the left. At the bottom of the list you will see a button that says "Set as active". Set the file as active and the crashing should stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 That sounds like the Vista problem I had when I first started. If you have Vista, you need to read and follow all the instructions posted on the Internet to defeat your own security system and allow you to use your own computer.

Maigrets Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Another thing that can cause CS crashes is the Auto save feature. Just like in the game Auto save causes problems. Go to File\Preferences\Misc tab and disable them. Just make sure to save and backup your esp regularly. As far as I'm aware you have to save in the data directory, so the CS can find the files it needs, but I may be wrong. I have the GECK installed and it doesn't cause any issues except to change the icons to Fallout 3 ones in the Oblivion Data directory. The icons will change depending on which Editor you used last, but it's not a problem. I use Windows XP so I'm no help with Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tek5828 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I get this too!- Im on vista ultimate... OK- Try going into tamrial and editing landscape (h) then saving - should work after that (works for me) OR run CS as admin (havent tried that) Now i get a really annoying problem- whenever i left click, rightclick double click or anything on a AI package in the AI window, my CS Crashes!! I can add packages but not edit or delete!! REALLY ANNOYING PROBLEM! Hope this helps- going to go re-install CS (Might have somthing to do with Program Files being restricted on vista?)

Pronam Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Yes, it causes more trouble then you would like too. As you have to reinstall oblivion in order to install CS to another location (it will always follow the Oblivion directory.) Take a look at this article if you have a load of mods. (or just want all the steps explained) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brasher Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Though I am a Vista sufferer, I didn't have to reinstall Oblivion or the CS when I started using the CS. I just moved the files from the old directories to the new ones. It seems like the pat answer everyone has for everything is "Reinstall! Reinstall! Reinstall!" Sorry folks, but that is not always the answer. I moved Oblivion to C: Games\Oblivion and now the CS works for me as well as can be expected. (It is as unstable of a program as Oblivion itself.)

I was thinking about doing that! What about oblivion .exe ? Wouldnt that still want to refer to c:/Programfiles/Bethesda/Oblivion ? ------------------EDIT---------------- If i have UAC disabled, would i still have to re-install?
