Make the evil CTDs go away!

[FireFlickerFlak]

The title pretty much says it all. I'm using Windows 7 on a new desktop computer. I've only put oblivion on it so far + a few mods, but I am getting crashes to my desktop often during menus in game, and always when I try to quit back to the main menu or out of the game, I get a CTD and I get a message box on my desktop asking me if I want to close the program. I can't click on anything until I open task manager. Here is everything I have added to the game:

 

OBSE (v0018),

OBMM,

Unofficial Oblivion Patch,

OOO (omod lite 1.33),

ROM

Better Cities.

Crashes are just part of Oblivon, period. Take a look at the first topic on this page. Pinned. It is there for a reason :(

 

I have three suggestions.

#1 is get and run BOSS, this may very well fix some or all of your issues wihtout having to go through the rest.

#2 is list your load order. There are people here that can spot problems just by looking at it.

#3 is a solution to quitting. This will require another mod OBSE.

Clean Quit by Deathless Aphrodite

Read the description on the page. The Origial "Clean Quit" is the one I use and have no complaints. However, the Author makes several other recommendations, and actually recommends a different mod than his.

For another #3 option, I recommend the Fast Exit OBSE plugin instead of Clean Quit.

Fast Exit is the mod that I was referring to that Deathless Aphrodite recommends on his page :)

You really might want to mention what those issues are ... We're not mindreaders - at least not over the internet.:geek:

Lol, my bad.

 

The main issue is that when I level up I get a ctd. (ROM replaces the default leveling system.)

 

There have been a few minor things as well:

 

(examples: I died in game with stats drained into the negatives, then when I reloaded my last save game the stats were still negative... the npc I was supposed to kill disappeared during the anvil recommendation quest... game freeze when trying to enter/leave scripted boats ferry boat along the coast.)

 

I have been told that these issues are possibly because I have been launching the game with OBSE launcher sometimes and with OMBB launcher at other times, so I am currently testing to see if starting a new game only with the OBSE launcher will get rid of the remaining issues that might be caused by lost variables or something.

A good deal of this is just going to happen, period. Oblivion does not manage memory well, and you can crash opening a container, or casting a spell, or turning your character. And, especially when changing cells, including any type of travel.

 

Save, Save, Save!!!

 

If something happens over and over again, then you know it's not just Oblivion crashing, again, but may be something more. Like, I could not travel to the Waterfront, or Weye. Any time I turned my character in the direction of the Waterfront, I would freeze. In my case, it was Qarl's Textures on top of about a zillion mods. Qarls's looks beautiful, but only if you get the chance to actually see them!

 

Random crashes like you are describing seem to me to be "normal" for modded Oblivion...

[FireFlickerFlak]

Hmm that might be true for some of the crashes, but the leveling crashes are consistent without fail, every single time regardless of where I am or what I am doing (it has happened many times now and has only been avoidable so far with an obse plugin underground09 showed me that is specifically designed to stop crashes, "weOCPS". I'd rather not rely on a crash avoiding mod though, especially since after putting that in the rest of the game got buggier. In addition, my issues don't seem to be showing up for anyone else using these mods. People have looked at my save games and can't replicate the crashes, but I get them every time.

There is a possible solution to the crash on level up in this article, as well as more suggestions for crashes.
