Mazuffxi Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I've done some forum searching on corrupted saves, but my problem would appear to be unique. After some extensive testing with possible problems (missing files, improperly enabled ESPs, etc) I have found that my specific problem is Kvatch Rebuilt. It is corrupting my save data files. After getting the carpenters and workers into Kvatch, going into any exterior cell will, after about 5 seconds, cause a crash. I've probably crashed about 20 times, and after this point, it's impossible to remain in exterior cells without a crash. It is not isolated to a specific area, and has been tested in multiple areas in 3 regions. Furthermore, I confirmed that this glitch does not appear in save data files that have not started the Kvatch Rebuilt questline, or ones that have not gotten to this point. Once again, I'll clarify that the crash is -not- instant, that it -is- isolated to save data and only save data that has gotten to this point in the Kvatch Rebuilt questline. Obviously, this doesn't happen with everyone, so there must be something else happening in conjuncture to cause this. It is likely I could just forgo the Kvatch Rebuilt mod and play the game differently, but after so many playthrough's of TES: Oblivion, it's difficult to want to pass up something so new and big like this. So I ask, please! Help me fix this! What information can I give to assist in fixing the problem? Thank you very much in advanced to those willing to help me!

Mazuffxi Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 After spending some more time with possible ESP files, I think I found the source of the cause. I'm a bit dumbfounded that after 2 days of trying to fix my problem, that I fix it not even 2 hours after making the problem public -.- Salt on the wound; it was a simple problem, and, because I hate searching forum threads for a problem, only to find the exact problem I'm having and see it get solved by the forum creator who didn't bother to mention how he fixed it, I'll go ahead and explain the cause. Kvatch Rebuilt comes with several extra ESP files, such as one for OOO, MMM, a cOMBo one and etcetera. I've seen many mods that do this, and normally you activate the ESM, the original ESP, and the compatibility ESP -- Which I did. It turns out that you do NOT use the original ESP, but just the ESM and the compatibility ESP. I found that this was not made clear be the maker of Kvatch Rebuilt. Usually, when there's an ESP conflict, Oblivion won't even load, or will show noticeable problems. Not only did neither occur, but I was actually able to play through the mod to that extent! Regardless, I apologize for the wasted forum space. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazuffxi Posted October 7, 2009 Author Share Posted October 7, 2009 Heh, that's good to know. Actually, after toying with it -further-, I found out that I was wrong. Both ESP files are, in fact, needed, but the OOO compatibility ESP needs to be set lower than the main ESP file, and both need to be set down pretty low in the tree to ensure that no problems come up. Beyond that, I've found no other issues. Plays great so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
