I've put up with it for a while, but Its becoming a nuisance, crashing before or during a loading screen after an hour or 2. Load order is as follows:

I've used BOSS to order it properly and also used a bashed patch after each alteration/installation/removal of a mod.

Are you using Oblivion Stutter Remover? Its heap replacer is useful in prolonging the time before these inevitable crashes.

[bben46]

If it runs ok for an hour or so you may be running up against the memory problem. Oblivion does not release memory properly and it eventually runs out and crashes. This happening on a load screen would make sense as it has to load a lot of new data when you go into a new area. Normally, Oblivion can only use up to about 2 gb of ram. However if you have at least 3 it will help as that frees up more for the game - the operating system and any other programs will be able to use the amount over 2g. If you have a 64 bit operating system there is a patch that will allow it to use even more ram.

 

If you close and restart the game every hour or so it will probably play better. There are some mods that help by cleaning the buffers of some of the accumulated stuff - but that will just extend the time before the crash. Until you find something that works, be sure to save often and do not rely on the autosaves.

Yeah, Im using a 64-bit OS, with 6gb of RAM, and no I have not used stutter remover, Ill try that out, but what patch were you referring to? The one to allow more RAM usage?

[ArmeniusLOD]

This one enables the Large Address Aware flag in 32-bit executables so they will use more than 2.2GB of RAM. Be aware that OBSE will actually disable this flag when it hooks the Oblivion process, but OSR essentially replaces the memory management anyway.
