stonesour767 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 As of yesterday my copy of oblivion has been playing up. Good and proper, not the typical CTD here and there but it has gone really bad. It started off by hanging whilst loading my save game. It got half way and cacked out, if I left it it would crash everytime. And now after many hours of fiddeling about trying to get it working it won't even show the spalsh screen anymore, it just loads, black screen and then right back to desktop.I've tried using a fresh INI file, running the game in compatibilty mode and as admin. I've tried turning off mods, getting rid of mods everything I could think of I tried and has failed. So now I turn to the people of the official forums for help. What information should I post before I do post any. DXDIAG file and load order of mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 just unchecking mods does not get rid of them. The textures and meshes are still loaded, just no longer referenced by their esp. Also, there are mods that do not have a esp or esm to uncheck and they are still loading too. Try this to get back to a completely unmodded game for troubleshooting.Bben's Oblivion Revert to Vanilla gamehttp://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=340 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonesour767 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) Right, giving that ago now. Unfortuantly that didn't work, got to the part where I made a new Data folder and copied over the stuff. I then loaded it up and it crashed at the splash screen again. And i'm now having to copy all the data back over to the new Data folder as for some reason it won't let me rename the old one back to Data.

bben46 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 If you cannot rename a folder, that is a windows problem.You should be able to right click on any folder and select rename from the menu. If you crashed with the vanilla only data folder, then your game file is likely corrupted and you will have to reinstall. - note: the revert to vanilla does not remove the Beth patches as they are integrated into the Oblivion.exe and Oblivion.esm - they cannot be removed short of a full reinstall. Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexushttp://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=240 It allows you to preserve any saves and mods, or remove them completely - your choice.

stonesour767 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 (edited) that's worked! awesome, just need to re apply my mods AND sort through the ones I don't need. Thanks a bunch fella! and back to where I started, crashing at splash screen. It has to be one of the OMods I have installed.

stonesour767 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 right, after literally hours of toying with this, it's still messing about Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: Oblivion.exe Application Version: 1.2.0.416 Application Timestamp: 462392c7 Fault Module Name: Oblivion.exe Fault Module Version: 1.2.0.416 Fault Module Timestamp: 462392c7 Exception Code: c0000005 Exception Offset: 00175ba9 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.768.3 Locale ID: 2057 Additional Information 1: 27c8 Additional Information 2: 27c8ce5af7a07bedf550bd9c573901b3 Additional Information 3: e56e Additional Information 4: e56e9cfaf3cd1084b6b4c016d12ce64c Sorry for spamming the post with that info, but that's the crash report I keep getting. Any help at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwaxalot Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Have you recently updated drivers? This error is often caused by driver updates. Try rolling your video drivers back to an earlier version. Also, Exit Oblivion, then try renaming or deleting the oblivion.ini file (...\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Oblivion.ini) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonesour767 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 haven't updated drivers, and i've tried doing the INI trick many times to no avail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwaxalot Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 haven't updated drivers, and i've tried doing the INI trick many times to no avail. The error message you reported is almost certainly related to video drivers. Which version and date drivers do you have? (You can find this info from a Dxdiag report) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stonesour767 Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) i'm on, well the version it says im on isn't the actual version im on. it says version: 8.801.0.0 which doesn't exist as far as i'm aware for ATI cards. But then it says DDI version: 10.1 which sounds more on the lines of catalyst drivers.should I update or roll back? Right it's not the drivers, it's a mod. The annoying thing is that the mod that is causing it is changing every time. which is making it very difficult to locate.
