Guest Some Guy Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 My game freezes when I play for about 5 minutes. It does not unfreeze. Like for instance if I was running and it froze I would lose control of my mouse and keyboard but I would still be running! Same thing happens if I was punching etc. Everything else still moves! (This only started freezing when I tried to replace the music with different music that was in mpeg4 format......When I did that the music stopped playing so I reinstalled it.....THATS when it started freezing!!Kinda stupid, I know.....PS it worked 4 like....2 months before this.

Switch Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Check your graphics card and CPU temperatures while playing... either one could be overheating. CPU-Z (just Google to find it) will tell you your CPU temperature, and if your card is NVIDIA you can use the NVIDIA Control Panel to see what temp it's at. If your card is ATi, then I'm not sure what you use, sorry. ^^; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if it would actually affect temperatures, but it might. When did you last clean your computer? Dust accumulation can easily aggravate overheating problems.

Guest Some Guy Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 my computer is very new so dust does not matter.....This only started freezing when I tried to replace the music with different music that was in mpeg4 format......When I did that the music stopped playing so I reinstalled it.....THATS when it started freezing!!

Guest Tessera Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I guess I will never get help........ (1) The game won't load and run mpeg-4 audio. It's was never meant to and attempting to do such a thing was a little silly. Some computers can't even run mpeg-4 audio AT ALL, unless they have the CODEC's installed and the CPU power. The mpeg-4 format is generally best used for compressing DVD-quality videos. (2) When you un-installed and then re-installed Oblivion, you ran into the rotten little re-install bug. (3) Your system registry is likely corrupted now, as a result. (4) The steps needed to fix that problem are posted in several places on this board already. (5) Do not attempt to modify a game as complex as this one without first investigating the feasibility of what you are attempting to accomplish. You can't always just toss files around willy-nilly and expect the results you were looking for... it doesn't work that way. (6) Good luck.

Guest Tessera Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 My best advice to you is: Re-install Oblivion, after first zapping it completely from your hard drive and cleaning out all references to Oblivion from your system registry. You may end up having to scrap your old gamesaves too, if any of them contain references to corrupted data. Hopefully, you know how to do this. After re-installing the game, patch it with the official patch. Don't use too many mods. I hate to say this, but there's a glut of frivolous, horribly written and broken mods out there for this game, thanks to Bethesda making it so easy to modify Oblivion via the Construction Set. Leave the sound alone -- it's fine, ya goofball. :P Or at least, don't use anything other than MP3 or WAV files for added sound. That's what the game engine expects to find and decompress.
