Runtime error (I think?)

[Flemming]

Tried to start my morning with a bit of Oblivion ... The game started properly, however, when attempting to load any of my saves, the game would jump to the loading screen and immediately freeze, with the Windows error message box popping up with the following text:

 

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

 

Runtime Error!

 

Program: H:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Oblivion.exe

 

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way.

 

 

I've never had such an error before. I always run the game through a shortcut to the OBSE loader, and it always loads normally. I have no idea as to what the problem would be, as I have no idea how the Runtimes function.

[Hickory]

Does this ONLY happen when you load a saved game?

[Flemming]

Went back and checked a few things ...

 

The error occurs if I use the 'Continue' option or try to Load a saved game from the Title screen. If I start a new game, it will go through the opening cinematic and everything just fine. However, if I try to load a saved game from a new game, the same error will occur.

[Hickory]

That suggests that you *may* have bloat in your saved games. Try susing Wrye Bash's 'Remove Bloat' function in the 'Saves' tab. Bloat can occur from badly written mods, or using indescriminate console commands, particularly 'PlaceAtMe', amongst other things.

[Flemming]

Hmmmm ... Tested all 3 saves, Wrye says there's no bloat in any of them.

Is anything jumping out, as far as mods that may cause issues? Is there any other info I could give that would help resolving this?

[Hickory]

I don't know all of those mods, but two thing stick out immediately:

 

I see Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul.esp but no Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul.esm -- which version do you have?

 

I see your Bashed Patch 0.esp way up the list -- it should be virtually last in the list, AND rebuilt every time you change mods (install/reinstall/change load order).

I honestly do not know which version I have (sorry!!! >.<). I know the version I downloaded did not have an esm packaged with it. Should I d/l a different version? Also, I use BOSS within Wrye Bash to order my mods.

[Hickory]

If your version of OOO didn't have an esm, then it's an older version, and you need only worry about whether or not to upgrade to the latest version. You only need either the 402.6Mb OMOD ready 7z file, OR the 406.6Mb exe file. The 1.34 beta 5 is not needed, but optional, remembering that it is a Beta!

 

Regarding your mods list, the only esp in your list that should load after Bashed Patch, 0.esp is Elsweyr Color Map.esp

 

You should use the File/Redate function or OBMM to move these files last, in this order, and then rebuild your patch:

 

KT_CustomRaceFix.esp

Cobl Filter Late MERGE ONLY.esp

Bashed Patch, 0.esp

Elsweyr Color Map.esp

And after all that ... still getting the runtime errors ...

 

Are my saves FUBAR? I really hope not ....

 

EDIT: G/f (who is more computer savvy than I) is recommending copying my saves and my Data folder to a safe place and reinstalling Oblivion itself ... would this be advisable?

[Hickory]

It certainly couldn't hurt to reinstall. But I will advise one thing: if you are going to do this, when you reinstall, use the custom option and install Oblivion outside of the Program Files folder structure -- somewhere like C:\Games\Oblivion. Also, you might want to read Bben's Reinstall Procedure before doing so.
