BlackerrR Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Sorry for bad English. I have problem with Oblivion when I load saves with more than 100 hours of playing. What happens? If I open my inventory, want to load a map, fast travel, enter inn for example it becomes veeery slow. I need (literaly) one minute to travel from one to another destination, around 30 seconds to enter the cell and so on. First I thought that my encumburance is the problem, but even if I reduce it to 250, it still runs slow. I'm using mod that edits original map, I think it's called Elven Map or however. Is that a problem? Please help. I'm using 1GB of RAM, GeForce 8500 GT and Intel Pentium Dual CPU 2.00GHz. Thanks, you BlackerrR. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illiad86 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I don't think the a-bomb bug refers to what he is having problems with. I though that only affected animations and very very slow FPS around animated objects. Does your inventory have lots and lots of things in it? When you have lots of items in it, it can cause the inventory menu to load very slowly...even lock up the game for a minute and load the menu. I noticed that once when I had a ton of keys in mine.

BlackerrR Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 To be honest, i never get rid off keys and my encumburance is around 500 because i like carring both heavy and light equipment. I'm going to try that. But are you sure that this can cause slow cell load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illiad86 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Slow cell loading...well...how long are you playing before it starts doing that? You only have 1GB of RAM I see...the cells can load slowly if you have been playing for awhile and it has to clear out your RAM to allocate for another space in the game.

It seems you are quite a bit below the reccomended specs for Oblivion :( I'm still slightly below it i guess. The game becomes slow for me when in the most intensive areas - Miscarcand, or the final quest from that Umbacano guy. So mainly Ayleid ruins. You'd find the game to run alot smoother with more RAM. I'd reccomend getting another 2GB if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, thank you guys for trying to help me. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenrai Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 The 'A-Bomb' generally only affects intensive graphic animation/sound situations (who knew doors opening & closing was "intensive"? pfft) but it is suspected to be able to corrupt saves, so it probably can cause slow loading. Wrye Bash can fix it. The other one worth checking is saved game bloating. Bloat occurs at different times and levels of play depending on how you play; If you collect & harvest every single thing you see (like me), make 1000s of potions (like me) and rob every single house & shop as many times as you possibly can (yep, you guessed it... like me) its gonna hit you sooner rather than later. This is because the saves keep a log of every single thing that passes through your inventory... why? Well, only Beth can answer that, and they've never bothered. Suffice to say, its pointless, needless, and very, very messy. Once your save files reach 12 - 20MB, the game takes forever to read them... and it reads them every time you save, every time you load, and almost every time you change cells... ho hum. On the bright side... Wrye Bash can fix that too. In short- get Wrye Bash, and run your saves through its cleaners... with a little luck, you'll be good. Bash can seem a little daunting to people who've not used it before, but basically you can ignore everything except the saves tab. Thats what you are after. It also happens to be the handiest tool ever for getting mods to work with one and other and cutting your load order down (especially if you use FCOM) but you can save finding out about all that for later. Just... don't crash it whilst its loading the installers tab, k? :P Jenrai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
