butterfingers158 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hello! I'm having a problem that I really hope someone on here can help with. I'm running Oblivion GOTY with no mods (wanted to finish it vanilla before getting into mods) and have been playing 50 hours or so. The problem is that now the only saves I have that are anywhere near recent crash the game when they load. What usually happens is the game loads to the end of the bar, the screen goes black like it's going to the game, and then it crashes. Any help would be appreciated as the newest save that is currently working is from around 10 hours into the game :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterfingers158 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 No, I'm running the Vanilla version of GOTY edition. So all I have is base Oblivion, Shivering, and Knights of the Nine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

butterfingers158 Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 It says my game version is 1.2.0416 so I'm assuming that means I have the patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeldarb Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 You could try using the Unofficial Oblivion Patches,they exist because Oblivion does have quite a few mistakes built in to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I installed it and tried, the save actually loaded! Then I noticed that I somehow had chameleon, couldn't leave 3rd person, couldn't move, and some of my stats were completely screwed up. It said I had some 8 or 9 digit number for fame, and a similar number for some other stats. No save has loaded successfully since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No save has loaded successfully since then.Make sure your have the latest version of the UOP, 3.2.9 I think. Install it on top of 3.2.0. The UOP has a stat-fix feature, which you can find through the menu, using the token it adds in the miscellaneous items section of your inventory. Please, post your load order. Have you regenerated the Oblivion.ini? Were you using Oblivion's quick saves and/or auto-saves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yeldarb Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 There are also UOP's for SI and Knights, they are available in an OMOD (TESNexus php?id 9969). Are you currrently using the Bashed Patch, or did you install Wrye Bash to fix your saves? Use the links in Tomlongs Signature (installation guides I think) for instructions on how to activate the Bashed Patch after you have installed the UOP's for Knights and SI. EDIT using quicsaves and autosaves is a bad habit to get into. This week I made a quicksave before pausing my game, the quicksave was glitched because the autosave did not register the fact that I had actually enterd the dungeon on a quest in SI. The only reason I knew it was glitched was because the quest marker was showing green,when it should have been red and my journal was not updated.Just make a new save before a quest is started and when you have finished a quest,unless you are hurting for hard drive space having a large amount of saves is not going to hurt your game and it does make starting over somewhat easier when you die or get a ctd.
