sand_soldier Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Its become a bit of a nuisance. I can take down an animal of enemy with magic, no problem most of the time. But frequently, when I kill with a 'physical' weapon, the game crashes JUST as the creature dies. I have tested to see whether my few mods are interfering and found that it is not the case. Can anyone suggest a possible solution? Just in case, I am running version 1.1, with no major mods active, only a couple negligable ones. My specs are as follows: CPU: Intel Centrino Duo 1.83 GHzRAM: 2GB DDR2-633 Corsair XMS2Video Card: ATi Radeon X1400 w/ 256MB VRAMSound: Integrated SB Audigy Hi-Def 5.1 The game normally runs just fine, as well as I could expect for the video card that I have. But I am baffled by this crashing issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand_soldier Posted April 1, 2007 Author Share Posted April 1, 2007 Can anyone help me with this issue. I have been trying different settings adjustments, everything from changing windows memory allocation to varying every graphics setting available. I have now discovered, however, that it does not depend at all how I kill an enemy. About 1 out of every 6 or 7 killings causes a game-breaking crash, and it happens RIGHT after the fatal blow. This issue makes it very difficult to play smoothly and sometimes causes quests to take twice as long because usually I forget to save before I enter combat. I am open to suggestions. :) The only mods I have running are the official plugins that shipped with KotN, and an accelerated magicka regen mod. I have tried removing them, but this has no effect.

sand_soldier Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Well, since I havent received any feedback on this issue, I have decided to do some more trial-and-error. It seems this problem may be related to the shifting in music once an enemy is killed (ie, once the combat music switches back to adventure/town music). I was battling a couple of goblins, killed the first one. Then, right after I slayed the second (the only remaining enemy in the area) the game crashed just as the music switched. I really have no idea why it would do this, and would appreciate any assistance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abramul Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Are you using any mods that alter music? For now, try this:...g'day mate,you will need to disable music as well ........... go to the game save file in "my documents and open the config file , scrool down to music and change the .bmusic=1 to bmusic=0 and do the same in the game file or where you saved the game, everything stays the same except background music is disabled....hope this fixex your problem, it did with minegoodluckHe doesn't actually say where it is:...Someone told me to change a value in oblivion.ini.

sand_soldier Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 I dont have any music mods, but I have added some of my own music to the various music folders. I have already tried removing the files I had added from the directory, but it had no effect. I will try to rework my ini according to the reference you posted. Thank alot for the tip! I hope it works, but it'll be pretty bland with no background music... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sand_soldier Posted April 9, 2007 Author Share Posted April 9, 2007 Great news. I disabled music in the ini's and have played 3 game hours thus far with no crashes whatsoever! I am grateful for the advice. I hope this benefits some others as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucevayne Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Try patching the game. Some time ago, when I played unpached vanilla oblivion I had the same problem. It was a nightmare, and I didnt find any solution to it. Now I play patched version with maybe 120+ mods and the problem is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
