Crash on New Game / Load

[RossGarner]

Having just come back to Oblivion, I've been trying to get FCOM to work, because I've heard its a fun mod. I had CTD on startup problems, which turned out to be a missing master problems. Just one step past that, every time I try to start a new game I get an Oblivion has stopped working and needs to close error. I uninstalled Oblivion, reinstalled from scratch after deleting all the files in my Oblivion folder, but I'm getting the same new game crash.

Did you regenerate your Oblivion.ini, by deleting it from the My Games\Oblivion folder and relaunching?

Just tried it, still crashed at the same spot.

You have no mods installed, right? Try a clean boot.

Uninstalling Oblivion does not remove everything. It leaves behind quite a bit, including all of your saves, the Oblivion.ini and most important, the Windows registry entries. Any of these can cause problems when you reinstall.

 

Here is a procedure that removes everything, allowing a true clean reinstall, and a backup to fall back on in the future so you don't have to reinstall.

 

Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexus

I do have FCOM installed now, Oblivion by itself works normally, but I wanted to get FCOM working with the game.

 

Tried the clean boot, with the mods running, still got the same error.

Please, post your load order. I thought your mods were uninstalled.

(x) = not activated, or a part of my bashed patch.

 

I ran with all the above activated, and bashed, but Oblivion had the same crash, so I tried disabling everything that wasn't required for FCOM to work, but that left me with the same problem.

Post your load order with Wrye Bash by right-clicking on "File" and using the "List mods" function (which copies the list for you.) I want to see the version numbers, so that list does not suffice. You should not have the main HF plugin deactivated if you have those other plugins merged into the bashed patch. I cannot tell. Please, post your load order with Wrye Bash. Make sure you are using HF v3.0.1, the latest version, and not the version bundled with OOO 1.33.

Oblivion itself functions, should I try a clean uninstall / reinstall?
