SheosMan117 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 hey, I recently put a new hard drive in my computer. So I had to reinstall everything. On the old drive, Oblivion worked perfectly. Even with a lot of mods. Now, a fresh install crashes a second after I hit play. and this is pure oblivion, game of the year, disc one. No patches, SI, nothing. I have Vista 64 bit. NVIDIA Geforce GTX 275. core i7. Asus P6T motherboard. 6 GB RAM. any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Go to your \Oblivion\Data\ folder and copy oblivion_default.ini. Now go to your \Documents\My Games\Oblivion\ folder. Paste the oblivion_default.ini and rename it to oblivion.ini. Now make sure there is a 'Saves' folder in the \Documents\My Games\Oblivion\ folder. Now restart the game FROM THE LAUNCHER.

bben46 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Did you try to patch it? DONT! The patch is on the second disk. You can install the SI disk, and then do not check the Shivering Isles.esp if you do not want the SI to start right away. The Game will still play as Oblivion only until you check the SI. Did you install in the default location? If so you may be getting harassed by the UAC. To avoid UAC problems while leaving it on to protect things that really do need to be protected. Reinstall outside of the default program files location. I recomend C:\Games\Oblivion (you will have to create the C:\games folder yourself.

cdavis211 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Go to your \Oblivion\Data\ folder and copy oblivion_default.ini. Now go to your \Documents\My Games\Oblivion\ folder.

I was having trouble after reinstalling, came across this in a search and it seems to have worked. Just wanted to thank you for the advice.
