Oblivion crashes at startup load! Again!

If you were running using Steam, even if you uninstalled it will probably leave entries behind in the Windows registry that will cause problems. I'm not sure if my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure finds all of the Steam/Oblivion registry entries or not. I would appreciate some feed back on this if you do try it.

 

You may have to run it twice if you haven't uninstalled the Steam version before installing the box version. First time uninstall the box version. Second time uninstall the steam version. Then install the box version in the new location.

 

Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexus

It allows you to preserve any saves and mods, or remove them completely - your choice.

If it launches without mods then the registry is probably OK

Do you have the latest patch installed?

Do you have OBSE installed AND are you starting the game with OBSE instead of using the Oblivion Launcher?

You can also do the classic brute force method of disabling half of your mods. If game crashes, the problem is in the half that is still active. Load half of the group that crashed before. Repeat until you find the culprit. Because you are using overhauls, this is a bit trickier. I would start by disabling everything that is not an official DLC, a patch for Oblivion or the DLCs, or FCOM. Hoping your problem is not with FCOM. Anything else would be easier to fix.

After looking over your load order, i noticed that you have a problem with Clocks Of Cyrodill. The esp your'e using is just the patch for Open Cities, which your'e not using.

Hope it was this easy.

update; i may be wrong about this. after checking out better cities, i think you may have it right.

Telyn: I tried that and it works except for when I use a bashed patch. Then it crashes. And I need a bash patch for the future.

 

BBen: Latest patch and latest OBSE are installed and running fine. I use obse_loader to launch the game.

It sounds like your bashed patch needs rebuilding. Did you by any chance check the Candles for Kleptos or Tamrielic ingredients in the bashed patch, when those didn't apply to you? That's one common cause of bashed patches crashing the game. I'd also uncheck the tweaks while troubleshooting.
