Oblivion Failing to Start

Recommended Posts

I've been using mods for the better part of a year now, and just recently my oblivion would no longer start. By double clicking OBSE or even regular oblivion all it does is act as if its going to start by flashing the black screen waiting a little bit, and all of the sudden simply stopping and returning to my desktop. No error message or anything. Any ideas as to why this is happening is greatly appreciated.

Usually a heavy mod conflict can do this. I know mine does if I have various Better Cities installments running in the wrong order. Check your load order very carefully and make sure you didn't turn on/shut off something you shouldn't have. Might require a good bit of trial and error.

everything was working fine until I downloaded deadly reflex. I installed it correctly, but it started the problem up anyway. I quickly deleted DR but the problem persisted. I plan on deactivating the majority of my mods and slowly checking to see what else may be causing a problem.

I realise that I am posting this three hours too late, but using OBMM to convert DR into an OMOD and activating it and the deactivating it is the best way to delete a mod. You may also need to delete your configuration settings in Documents\My Games\Oblivion. The file is called Oblivion. Deleting this will prevent problems caused by changes from DR, but you will need to reset your screen resolution and renable some tweaks like border removal and allowing screenshots.

I have been playing oblivion for about 3 months and accumulated over 100 mods, but after some complication between certain mods i got pissed and decided to delete all mods...etc due to the game crashing every 5 min. FRESH START uninstalled, then reinstalled and upon displaying the Bethesda logo across screen during startup it just crashes right to the desktop. I have a new laptop, it not meant for gaming but its new so of course it can run oblivion... and it did, ran well on medium settings(good fps). In other words its not the system. HELP why does it crash upon starting the game up? oblivion loader etc... its all there so wtf is wrong???

Did you regenerate the Oblivion.ini - http://tesivpositive.animolious.com/?page=know_how_to#RegenerateTheOblivion.ini

Do you have OBSE installed?

Is your game patched to the latest version?

 

Are you sure you really deleted all of your mods?

TC, i had the same problem as you. i just fixed it. my problem was that i had a omod (sigil stone selector) that had a ooo and sigil stones expanded compadibility enabled, but i did not have sse; what im saying is check your load order for any mods that require a master file that you dont have.

 

On a side note, freaking ooo makes me crash to much. I never crashed with frans ever. anyone know a mod that gets rid of the "monsters leveling with the player and only armor for your current level in shops and on npcs" vanilla setting?
