Construction Set Issue

Recommended Posts

I've got everything working and the construction program opens, but when I attempt to edit anything (at all) it crashes, closes the program, and half the time I need to restart my computer. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything, and now I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I can do.

Are you running Vista or Win7? If so, right-click on the TESCS launcher and set it to 'Run as administrator.' If it is not in the context menu, it is in the file's properties somewhere.

That worked for a bit, and then it decideds to freeze. It's probably my computer or a compatability issue with something on it. Thanks though, since it worked a little while.

Move Oblivion outside of Program files and UAC. I have Oblivion installed in C:Games\Oblivion. UAC will prevent the esp you make with the Consruction Set not show up inside your Data folder.UAC will also prevent a program that uses the functions of OBSE from running,even if you are logged in as an administrator. UAC is a great program for protection from malware,but it will cause problems with any modded game.

Any thing I manage to save - though that doesn't happen often - I can load into the game. The problem is keeping the construction set program running since it likes to crash, and any mods I download run fine as well along with Oblivion itself. I tried changing the location of the Construction Set and it still messes up. I've started looking for another, just incase I've gotten a bad file or what ever, but so far... nada.

Do you use OBSE? What are you trying to do with TESCS?

I use the OBSE to run the actual Oblivion game. And since I can't keep the construction set working, I'm really not doing anything with it. Initially, I didn't know what it was since I had played the Elder Scrolls games on X-box and PS3, so I was just playing with it. Still am actually because I don't know all that can be done still.

 

If you meant what I was doing inside the program itself: It freezes and closes on landscape editing - though that doesn't work in and of itself at least 70% of the time. Dragging over objects to the render window often causes it to quit responding, but not right away. Usually I can't get about ten or so different things in an area before it stops. Saving what I've done will as well on occasion, and I can't save anything if I've opened the heightmap editing. The last one is where I often have to restart the computer.

Install Wrye Bash, and see if launching TESCS with OBSE helps. That seems like a stretch, but I guess it is worth a try. Bash launches it with OBSE by default, if OBSE is installed.

Try a clean boot too - http://www.ehow.com/how_5331553_clean-boot-windows.html

How much memory do you have? When you look in the Windows Task Manager on the Performance tab, how much physical memory do you still have available?

Here's what I have under physical memory when I open it.
