Crash In and near towns.

[Yamcakes]

It occurs inside town worldspaces, and outside of them. Uninstalled better cities, started a new game, no difference. Tried installing Open cities, didn't help. Tried Open Better Cities. No luck there.

Tried activating mods one by one until all were loaded. Towns ran just fine. Saved and loaded up the very same save again, and the problem returned. Not sure what's causing it, as the only way I knew how to eliminate the problem is failing me.

If I exit an interior within a city, I'm fine until I look in a particular direction, so the crashes are always predictable. I thought it may have been some crazy LOD model problem, or mesh/texture issue with particular cities' architecture, but even reverting to vanilla meshes/textures didn't help.

 

If it's any help, this is the error I get when it crashes.

As far as I know. kernel32.dll is responsible for assigning different RAM designations to different programs, so I'm not entirely sure why it's involved.

[Hickory]

The kernel32.dll is basically the heart of the Windows OS. What is relevent in this case is the Exception number, which is a General Exception Fault, and can be cause by many things. Some notable culprits that often pop up when investigating this type of exception are: printer drivers and network cards. Oblivion itself should not be ruled out, however. Oblivion may be leaking memory -- another common cause of fatal exceptions. Very tricky to track down at times.

[Yamcakes]

What must I do to remedy that?

What must I do to remedy that?

 

There is no easy answer to that. As I said, general exception type errors can be cause by many things. I would start by installing updated printer drivers. If you already have the latest, uninstall them and reinstall them. Then, make sure that your video card is adequate for the amount of, and kind of, mods you have installed. Upgrade your video card if necessary. Make sure that you have adequate RAM, and that any RAM modules are in good order. That's a start, but like I said this error can be a real pain to troubleshoot without an expert technician on-site.

[Yamcakes]

Well I've never hooked up a printer to this computer, I've updated Video Card and it's Drivers, and I am still experiencing this problem. My game ran perfectly fine with all of the same mods before, so I am not sure why it's been doing this. Could this be an issue with registry files and the way the program runs? I recently restored all registry files to the microsoft defaults.

[Hickory]

When you say you restored all of the registry files, do you mean a System Restore? Did you have this problem before the restore, or only since? And what version of Windows are you running?

[Yamcakes]

Before the restore. I'm running Windows 7, 64-bit. Oblivion is not installed in the default directory.

[Hickory]

Ok,. I think it's probably time to take a look at compatibility issues. Do you use BOSS and Wrye Bash? If so, can you post a list of your mods taken from Wrye Bash -- right click on the File tab and select List Mods. Copy and paste everything, including the (spoiler) and (code) boxes. If not, would you install them and do that?

You need to run BOSS -- your load list is all wrong (out of order). Once you have run BOSS, rebuild your Bashed Patch.
