Hickory Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 The only reason I can think of why Dark Forest may be making your game crash is that it is GPU intensive in there because of very high poly grasses. There is an option to instal a low poly alternative. Does this crashing only happen when you are inside the Dark Forest? Also, Salmo The Baker is a mod that is known to cause CTDs for unknown reasons, so you should disable it while your are troubleshooting. Lastly, make sure that these two load last but before the Bashed Patch:Cobl Filter Late MERGE ONLY.espAll Natural - Indoor Weather Filter For Mods.esp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) I have had another look at your load list, concentrating on mods not recognised by BOSS.

AH1 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 (edited) Will do Hickory. Thanks a lot for looking over that for me. I'll follow your instructions and let you know what happens. As for Salmo, I've never had any trouble with him. I did disable it for troubleshooting prior to you recommending that because I read in BOSS that it can cause CTDs. It was definitely the Dark Forest. I have a pretty good computer, and I am running a lot of graphical enhancements with no trouble. DF causes me to CTD even when I'm no where near it. This particular problem was happening in the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary and the Imperial City Waterfront. The latter is in TESLODGen range of DF, so that might explain it, but the DBS is no where near DF. Plus, it is in an interior cell. I have no idea, honestly. I just know that, for whatever reason, DF causes me to CTD. I even updated to the newest version of UL, and it still caused troubles. Although, I don't think the new UL updated DF in anyway, so it might not have mattered. It's not big deal. I personally don't like the DF area. So, I don't feel like I'm missing out. EDIT: I figured out why my masterlist was so woefully out of date even though I thought I was using BOSS right--turns out that I didn't set the "Update Masterlist.bat" to run as an administrator, so it wasn't actually updating anything. So, everytime I thought I was updating my list, I was actually just doing nothing and then running the old list. Let this be a lesson to anyone else who is like me and has this kind of problem!

Hickory Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 So, can we summarise: what is the situation now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichiurto Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I'm having a very similar issue. Whenever I go near The Gold Road (starting a little ahead of Fort Virtue) the game crashes. I don't have Dark Forest installed, though. You sure it's DF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AH1 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 So, can we summarise: what is the situation now? Well, for now, things seem to be okay. I made sure my BOSS masterlist was updated properly, I followed you instructions regarding the additions to the list, I ran BOSS, and disabled the Dark Forest. I did move Deadly Reflex below MAO, but I haven't done anything else than that. I played the game for about two hours before going to bed last night, and I didn't have any problems. I can't say for certain it is fixed, but I do think we've stabilized it. Thank you very much for your help, Hickory. I couldn't have done it without you. I'm having a very similar issue. Whenever I go near The Gold Road (starting a little ahead of Fort Virtue) the game crashes. I don't have Dark Forest installed, though. You sure it's DF? Similar issues don't always mean same cause with Oblivion crashes unfortunately. I can't be 100% certain it is the Dark Forest because I am just not that skilled as a modder to say with absolute certainty it isn't something else. I suspect it is a conflict with the DF and something else, and if I disable that something else, the DF might work. It might also just be an individual problem--a shader or texture that my computer doesn't like. For me, disabling DF works. If it is the problem, or just a placebo, I can't say. For now though, to be safe, I'm keeping it disabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
