Crashes On Fireballs

[wolfiefish]

Hope someone can help.

I have noticed that sometimes when some creature or tower blasts a fireball or other offensive spell at me, the game crashes and returns to the desktop with windows telling me that "Oblivion has encountered a problem".

Any ideas as to why this is happening.

Thanks.

What happens if you cast one?

Usually happens when one of the graphics or processes that spell relies on is broken. So... what mods do you have installed, what mods have you removed?

Thanks for the swift reply. This crash doesn't always happen, which is odd. But it is getting more frequent.

Ok, I went mod crazy for a while.

These are the ones I have running.

Glenvar Castle / 300ft crime detection / all +5 attributes / Days and months / Faster mercantile leveling v1.1 / More merchant money / My mountain tower / Natural environments / Stealth armour / Unlimited amulets and rings / Villages / Cyrodll Bankmod.

 

The ones I have unchecked are: horse names / Dark Brotherhood headquaters / oblivion cats / book jackets / chase camera mod / Harvest containers / Shady Sam Enhanced / Visuall Enchanted Fire 3 - frost 3 - shock 1

 

I know it's a lot of mods.

 

Does this info help?

Thanks again for the reply.

 

 

Oh yes, nothing happens when I cast a spell, it's only when different creatures blast me. Or even towers. It normally crashes when the spell hits me. If I can jump out of the way, the game does not crash. Strange.

Try enabling visually enchanted fire. I believe they did some tinkering with all the shaders and particle effects. If you had it active, and disabled it, some of the settings might still be locked. Given that 1.2 breaks custom shaders, it seems like the most popular candidate. The only other possible cause would be eitherone of those mods being dirty, or extra/missing files in your data folder from an improper removal.

I'll give it a try. thanks

I tried checking the enhancement fire mod. The game crashed even sooner when a fireball was shot at me.

So I unchecked that, unchecked Villages, and My mountain Tower. No the game runs fine.

So it's obviously one of them that caused my problem.
