help, my screen fades to diferent collors (cave,sewers)

[ndrhk]

every time that i enter in a cave, or sewers, or an ayleid ruin, the screen gets purple, blue, gray, then i need to save, and restart oblivion and continue from the save that i made before quit... and im able to see again...

 

but... when this happens i still can to see my inventory (TAB)...

 

i am using oldblivion, with a lots of mods like:

 

patch 1.1

patch 1.2

unnoficial oblivion patch

OOO_132

middas spells

 

and much more, but those are the biggests, and i can post if you want

 

anyone knows how i fix this?

 

thank you.

 

OBS: i think my unnoficial patch, conflicts with OOO, but its another subject, anyway, there is a way to make then dont conflict?

 

 

OBS 2: i've already play oblivion before with the oldblivion, and such never happend before

That sounds like a graphics card driver issue. I've had something similar on a few occasions and if I wasn't quick enough to exit the game and it crashed or I had to force end it with Task Manager, the message I got was a Nvidia driver problem. Updating my drivers fixed it though.

 

Have you added any texture packs especially to do with caves, ruins and sewers etc? This sounds like a place to start looking.

 

If it was happening everywhere in the game rather than only in dungeons it could have been graphic card over heating, but this sounds like a driver issue as I said, since I've had the same thing in the past.

 

If you're having to use Oldblivion I'm surprised you can even run OOO (you have a very old version BTW) and Midas Spells. I would suspect your graphics card doesn't handle shader 3.0 which would also cause problems like this, especially with Midas Spell effects.

 

BTW The Unofficial Patch does not conflict or have problems with OOO or any other mod as far as I'm aware, except for a compatibility meshes fix for Qarl's Textures Pack. It fixes a ton of problems with the vanilla game and shouldn't interfere with anything else. It must be the first esp loaded after all esm's to work correctly.

 

It probably would be a good idea to post a load order of your mods and your system specs would be helpful as well. Something else may be causing the issue.

thank you for help me :)

 

 

*i've uninstaled oblivion, i already had it before, and worked perfectly, then my machine gots a connection problem that i have to format my pc and it solved :)

but i didnt used the "official patch 1.1, neither the official patch 1.2, that im using now......... and i've already used the OOO, and the unnofficial oblivion patch, before..."

 

*no i dont have any texture pack, well i have the , Cute Elves Optional textures , HGEC body 1.21, and the Oblivion Polygone Overhaul, but i've installed the OPO today.

 

*well, i have a crash once when i entered in a INN, on the road, not in city... and then when i got out, oblivion crashed, but not faded first, just crashed, happend once...

 

*every time that i go inside of any dungeon, the screen fades to blue, gray, brown... and im still able to see my inventory(my character and my itens...the map...)

 

*when this happens my screen starts to be faded(to one of those colors) slowly, well not slowly, take 1~2 secs, but i can see fading

 

 

my computer has 11 years old, i buy it in 1999 :)

but still works, not fine, but works :)

 

AMD sempron processor 2600+

1.60GHz, 1,50GB RAM

Nvidia FX 5200, 128mb (yes, my graphic card doesnt handle shader 3.0)

Windows XP SP3

 

oblivion works fine... all set in the "oldblivion medium quality"

i got 10~30fps indoors (i guess) depends how much enemys have around

10~25 outdoors (i guess) depends how much enemys have around

up.

I'm really not sure what the problem is especially since it's only in dungeons. There's nothing I can see in your list which should cause it. You could try installing texture packs for sewers, ruins and caves but they all come as separate packs and there are several different ones, so perhaps you should look through the Categories Lists for Models and Textures at Tesnexus or use the search function to find something suitable.

 

If you do replace textures make sure to keep the files you download in case you have to remove them...ie your graphic card can't handle them for example. Removing the files will revert the textures back to default. Unfortunately, most of them are high resolution so you may not be able to.

 

You should if possible, use Oblivion Mod Manager (OBMM). It has a function called Archive Invalidation which forces the game to use new textures if they are installed instead of the files in the Oblivion Textures BSA. All the info is in the Help File and it's easy to use. It would also be a god option to use to sort your load order.

 

I don't know much about Oldblivion, but have you tried asking in their forums. Maybe someone there can help. The forum is currently active. I checked. :smile:

On another note...you shouldn't be using both Ren's Full and Ren's Hair Only esps together. Use only one. If you want the Mystic Elves Races with the Full pack use that one.

 

I don't know about Oblivion Polygone Overhaul, but the "blue pants" sounds like a missing texture. Usually it shows up as pink or purple but means the same thing.

 

Also the Bashed Patch should be at the very end so it loads last otherwise any changes it makes could be lost. If you only use it for the Nvidia Fog Fix it still should be last.

 

What the Bashed Patch actually does is help mods work together by merging leveled lists among many other things. If you planned to update to the latest version of OOO you will need to know how to use it. it's not too hard if you read only the Bashed Patch section of the Wrye Bash readme.

All good advice, but something else to try too. Using some Nvidia cards, the problem could well be that you've set your graphics options (IE HDR, Antialiasing) through the Oblivion options themselves. For some reason, Nvidia drivers really don't like this. There's a fix available (Nvidia blackscreen bug fix) but rather than downloading anything else, deactivate advanced graphics options in the game and force them on using your card's control interface (usually found on the desktop task bar next to the clock) instead. For a start, you should see better performance overall as your card will use true settings, not simulated ones like games do, and for a second it 'should' remove the black screen bug.

Just remember, just because the control interface gives you an option doesn't mean your card can fully support it (unless its a top of the range all singing and dancing one), so unless its a high end card, don't go cranking AA up to x16, AS up to x16, and enabling HDR and Bloom & top of the range resolution effects all at the same time. You'll likely experience

severe performance issues and could even blow out your card doing that. Instead, take it up bit by bit, say, put AA and AS at x2, leave the lighting, and play for an hour. If your rig handles that and performs well, throw in the lighting effects and up the resolution. If it still handles that comfortably, keep slowly upping the settings until you have what you think is the best balance of performance and visuals.

I'm not sure (long time since I used a 128mb card tbh) but I think it should just about handle Oldblivion with 2 x AA, 2 x AS, and bloom lighting. HDR or anything hi-res (if its even hi res capable) will make it freak.

well thanks for your help, but actually i use only difuse light, ambient light, (im not using HDR, neither BLOOM, neither AA, AA is off", im running at 640x480, small textures, and its running like morrowind, and its nice, im sure that my graphic card supports its because its not running slowly, im getting a good FPS.

 

and whats make me wondering that is some problem fixable, is that i already run oblivion before, and works perfectly before, but now after format, the oblivion got this error, and i dont know what to do

 

OBS: i've already did the "Nvidia blackscreen bug fix", and doesnt worked

 

what should i do, anyone already have a problem like this?

 

(something isnt loading at the right time, im wondering if exists some command that makes oblivion to reload the scenario)

 

OBS2: now i've deactived the nvidia AA, i should test, if it works i'll post here, if dont, i'll post here to :)

 

OBS3: didnt work :(

You mentioned that you were using Oldblivion and the v1.2 official patch. The last time I checked, Oldblivion didn't support the 1.2 patch. It only supports the v1.1 patch.

 

Hence, I would try reinstalling Oblivion then only apply the v1.1 patch. That should fix the strange colours since the cause might be Oldblivion trying to interact with shaders it is not compatible with.

 

EDIT: This page gives some instructions on running Oldblivion with the v1.2 patch. Ignore my previous advice until you have had a chance to test your game with the fix on that website.
