Dahveed Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Title is self explanatory really... For example I just entered the Imperial City, and some Mythic Dawn cultist attacked me. Holy crap, I think, I'm in trouble... I'm only lvl 3 and I have a hard time beating up Mudcrabs as it is. But a few seconds into the combat he just shuts off. He stands there in a fixed combat pose, nothing works anymore except for his head tracker. Guards proceed to slice him to bits. Has this been reported before? Is there any fix for it? It just totally killed all the suspense... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discovery1 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Could be an overload of the AI, this can happen due to too many mods with there own agenda, there is a certain mod which crippled my game until i removed it ( balloon mod)There is a mod on here that expands the AI according to how many npcs are on screen. The other alternative is that there is a animation missing or overwritten. Maybe if you post your mod list i will have a look for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahveed Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Hi, thanks for answering. Here are my mods and load order: GameMode=OblivionOblivion.esm=1Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esp=1UOPS Additional Changes.esp=1UOP Vampire Aging & Face Fix.esp=1Oblivion Citadel Door Fix.esp=1DLCShiveringIsles.esp=1Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch.esp=1USIPS Additional Changes.esp=0Skyrimized Water HD eng.esp=1Skyrimized Water HD BLUE eng.esp=1Skyrimized Waters HD BLUE - SI Addon.esp=1Skyrimized Waters HD - SI Addon.esp=1MIS.esp=1MIS Low Wind.esp=1MIS New Sounds Optional Part.esp=1Sounds of Cyrodiil.esp=1Crowded Cities 15.esp=1Crowded Cities 30.esp=0Crowded Roads.esp=1zzCCAO.esp=1Knights.esp=1Denock Arrows.esp=1Stylish Jump.esp=1Cava Obscura - Cyrodiil.esp=0Oblivion_Character_Overhaul.esp=1Bashed Patch, 0.esp=1zzCCAOAuraAddon.esp=1AltVillageStart.esp=1Skyrimized Water HD BLUE ita.esp=1Skyrimized Water HD ita.esp=1Symphony of Violence.esp=1 If what you say about "overload" is correct then I am guessing that Crowded Cities was to blame. You mentioned a mod that expands AI? I know Skyrim has something like this (I have it installed), called "More Brains" or something. Perhaps this is what I need.

Striker879 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 You could try Combat FPS Booster and see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discovery1 Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 to be honest looking at that mod list I dont think it is an AI problem but here you go just in case... http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/8158 it works well for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahveed Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 Yeah my computer is a 12GB beast, I find it hard to believe it's an AI processing issue. (Then again, maybe it's an Oblivion game engine limitiation?) But I can't believe it's an animation issue either, as all my animations work just fine 99% of the time. It's not happening on a regular basis, but I'm only a few hours into my playthru and this has happened maybe 4-5 times. When it does happen it completely kills any kind of suspense and immersion... I will try your link, thanks very much for taking the time to help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphatau Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Only need to use one of the crowded cities and only two of those skyrim water mods' esps iirc. Might want to roll that load order through boss too. Also, if you have any hirez pretty people textures or custom armor replacers and crowded cities that'll turn the world's best rigs into 21st century abacuses with this old game.

Notice in my load orders that the mods you mentioned are all disabled already. However I'll give it a churn through boss, however with this few mods I doubt that would change anything... This is a very random bug, it seems. Appreciate the help though, thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahveed Posted March 19, 2014 Author Share Posted March 19, 2014 Yeah it happened again just now, an imp or something that was kicking my butt just shut off. Its animations still seemed to be working (wings still fluttering, headtracking etc) but it just stood there while I hacked it to death. Getting really annoying.

discovery1 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 if you are disabling mods, unticking them will not disable them unless you re-bash your patch afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
