Freeze When Closing Journal

[scrivener07]

Im having a crippling problem. My game is running smooth as butter until I close my journal and my game gets totally frozen. Im running obse v18, Oblivion Character Manager, Fastexit v2 and the Unofficial Fcom Patch which I have never tried before. The Unofficial Fcom Patch advertises it brings MMM 3.7 in line with fcom.

My suspect mods are besides the Unofficial Fcom Patch... Tamriel Travellers which seems to be working fine in game may be causing crashes or Map Marker Overhaul. I have a goty edition patched with SI.

Any input would be rockin awesome! thanks guys

Try removing the bsa hack 'Oblivion.esp' and install ArchiveInvalidation Invalidated instead -- the hack will cause problems if oblivion.ini includes the name of the bsa.

I got rid of that Oblivion.esp, Deactivated DarNified UI, and defaulted my .ini . This didnt seem to help any. But then I turned my eyes to obse and tried launching oblivion without it via just the oblivion.exe. I loaded up my save game and my journal bug is gone! So I think Ive isolated my problem to either my version of obse (v18 stable), a plugin that is running outdated or bugged up scripts, or some incompatibilities in the mods or mod versions Im using. But I really need to be running obse any thoughts or ideas? I need a lead

[Hickory]

Looking at your mod list, I can say that I have run most of them with OBSE 18 without issue. The only major ones I haven't ran is Francesco's and FCOM, but other people seem to have no problem with them, at least as far as OBSE goes. I think you might have it when you mention OBSE plugins. Time to clear out and troubleshoot your plugins folder, I think.

[scrivener07]

What method do you use to troubleshoot your mod list. What I have in mind is to deactivate most of my mods through OBMM and rebuild my merged patch, then launch my game save and see what happens. Then add one mod at a time and launch the game to check what changes. Is this the best way to do it? Should I try to remove the mods files im not testing from my data folder or is deactivating and unchecking them through obmm enough.

Im at work right now but cant wait to start testing when I get home. <lame>Playing oblivion is awesome right now unless I need to open my journal</lame>

Well I solved my problem and created an new one. I was getting the journal crash from map marker overhaul be installed incorrectly. I must have still done it wrong because now the journal works great except now I cant scroll my map. Has anyone ever heard of this happening before? Maybe there is an .ini setting that got screwed somewhere but Im just stabbing in the dark atm. Does anyone have any idea where and what file might have control over settings that reflect my current problem?

 

**edit**

I was looking through my oblivion dir and found my Map Marker Overhaul ini and found these entrees that look interesting. Not exactly sure if one of these may be locking my map to center my current location. btw its not completely frozen. If I goes to my quest log and click the show on map button it centers on the quest marker.
