Crash To Desktop When Attempting To Load Game

[Chaotic16]

I can get in-game just fine. The problem is when I load a game save while I'm in-game. For example, I load up Save 258, then hit ESC > Load > Save 257 = CRASH. Every single time.

 

This crash doesn't occur unless I'm loading a Game Save which requires a loading screen. Any ideas? I was recently having a lot of crashing issues with Autosaves and Quicksaves (when traveling), so I turned off my Autosaving options and deleted my Auto/Quicksaves. Haven't had a crash since, but now this stupid problem has risen.

Solution - Don't Do That

I ... don't understand. Is it a problem on my end? 'Cause all the sudden, this happens. I save in different slots too...incredibly often. None of the others seem to be any different. I found out later that it even happens when I try to exit to the main menu while in-game. So I'm basically stuck in a save game until I QQQ and reload the entire client, then load my game.

Yes you are.

 

Due to the bug in oblivion itself, the general rule is "do not attempt to load a new save game once you have loaded a game. If you want to change to a different save game, exit Oblivion and then restart."

So this is a pretty commonly known bug, then? Oh well. I guess it's not that bad. Encourages me to keep going no matter what happens instead of rage-loading when something bad happens :O
