Can't fight will-o-wisp

[synnworld]

Every single time, whether I run the game with or without mods, my game crashes every time during a fight with will o wisps.Even when I am not the one fighting them, I had done a little test to see what it was, but I'm not sure myself. My character is a conjurer so I did this test with my creatures.

 

Test 1, sat back invisible and watch fire astronach fight wisp- crash half way through the fight..

test 2, sat in the same area invisible, turned away from the fight, after hearing the sound of the will o wasp dying, game crashed.

test 3, same as above without invisibility, same results.

test 4, left the cell a little before the will - o -wisp had died. Got the confirmation (Oblivion xp mod) will o wisp had died and game ran normally.

 

I did the first two tests again without mods running and got the same results. I had updated my graphics drive in nothing less than a month ago.

 

Update

I just command killed one and my game crashed.

Will-o-wisps have magical shaders attached, and it could be to do with this. Here is what I would try: open the console and type:

 

coc center

pcb

 

When you are teleported to the new location, wait for at least 72 hours and then save your game. Now fast travel back.

Just in case youre wondering

 

"coc" teleports you to X - X is the centre in this case

"pcb" purge cell buffer - removes data from the cell buffer which is where the last area you visited is stored (in case you travel back so it loads quicker)
