cryocry Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I came across a bug after completing the main quest for the second time. But, just to let you know: SPOILERS AHEAD YES, I SAID SPOILERSLAST TIME, THERE ARE SPOILERS When I was running Martin to the Temple of the One, I hit Mehrunes Dagon. He spit fire or something and stepped on a guard. So, I hit him with the blade I had equipped, and his whole body melted to the ground! That happeded ever since whenever I hit Lord Dagon, he melts to the ground. He resets to his normal state after he is un-disabled. But I'm not complaning, nothing bad happens. But the first time, he just stood there like the dumb ass he is when I hit him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Yesterday I found an enchanted glass battleaxe somewhere in an Oblivion plane. When I looked at it, I saw it was classified as a blade weapon! I thought, maybe some mod is doing this to all the axes. But when I looked at other axes (battle axes, rusty iron axes, steel axe) they were blunt! So am I wielding the only axe that is actually a blade? I can't imagine a mod changing ONLY a special enchanted battle axe into a blade weapon, and nothing else. The only mod that comes anywhere near it was combat behaviour V2.1d, but i'm pretty sure it doesn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdcatmeow Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Okay, I'm runnng into a really nasty Glitch that's ruining my game. Everytime I try to save the game crashes, It does it when I do a normal save or a quick save and I even tried the console command one. I tried going to different areas but that doesn't help. I can play for 1 minute or half an hour and it still crashes. I can't really play if I can't save so can anybody help me-PLEASE????? I call this the @#$% Glitch. Uh ow... happens to EVB. Im really not a profesionall, but maybe its a virus or something(rather than a glitch), i would suggest you 1)scan your Oblivion folder and see (and maybe you whole comp too, some nasty viruses cause several programmes and games to corrupt)2)...Or you remove the mods you resently installed and see if it works. 3)Otherwise I would just suggest saving youre Saved Games and re-installing Oblivion.

Do you have a HP printer, by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thursti Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Does that have anything to do with it? Does hp computers screw up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasar Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I have a Dell Printer. I've totally uninstalled and reinstalled like 4 times now and both started over from the beginning and from where I was last. It seems to happen at different times in the game. I didn't even get through the First mages guild quests this time. I've scanned and have no viruses and also scanned for scumware and spyware and all that too. I checked and there are really now major conflicts with any of the mods I'm runnning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Does that have anything to do with it? Does hp computers screw up? The HP printer can somehow cause Oblivion to crash. It's in the official patch notes: Frequent Crashing possibly due to connected HP printerA program related to HP printers may cause Oblivion to crash. Before running Oblivion: Press Ctr-Alt-Del to bring up the task manager. Go to the Processes Tab. Right click on any process starting with the letters HP and select End. Running Oblivion at this point may have this issue corrected. Note: The PC will need to be restarted to reinitialize printing or imaging. If you don't have a HP printer, simple things like keeping your computer virus free and defragmentating the hard disks every once in a while could help too. You already said you checked for virusses, so that can't be it. Another frequent crashing note in the patch notes: Frequent Crashing possibly due to old system fileSome users may experience frequent crashing due to an older system file. These crashes may be attributed to the 'mpeg2dmx.ax' file. Simply renaming the file to "mpeg2dmx.ax.old" may correct this issue. By the way you do have the latest patch installed? It solves a lot of problems, including crashes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drasar Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Thanks for the info. BTW I do have the latest patches installed. Quote:"Frequent Crashing possibly due to old system fileSome users may experience frequent crashing due to an older system file. These crashes may be attributed to the 'mpeg2dmx.ax' file. Simply renaming the file to "mpeg2dmx.ax.old" may correct this issue." Where exactly do I find this system file? I want to check and see it that might be the problem. Other than that is there anyway to "strengthen" the save feature so it would be less likely to crash? I'm dieing to finish playing Obliv but ya can't play if ya can't save.
