Oblivion crashes when character keeps using power attacks

[Heartcloud]

Hmm since a few days ago Oblivion will always crash if I repeatedly use power attacks of any direction (forward, standing, left, right, back) on enemies. Eventually the game will crash after about 5 strikes, especially if that strike is a killing blow. This applies even to hand-to-hand combat. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? For combat related mods, I've installed these two:

- Seph's hand-to-hand animation replacer, simply replaces animations files and does not include any .esp

- Enhanced hand-to-hand combat, basically just increases h2h damage

- Elz More Voice - character shouts "hya hya!" during strikes

 

Thanks.

Can you paste your entire mod list? Does this only happen while in combat or does it happen when you're swinging at air? Does it only happen in 3rd or 1st person?

 

Try turning off blood decals. Also try turning off your sound entirely in the Oblivion.ini file.

 

Edit: Try turning off Seph's hand-to-hand animations as well. One of the comments on the page specifically mentions the game will crash if you continually use the moves from it.

Thanks.

I tried to decrease blood decals by editing these two options:

iMaxDecalsPerFrame=

fDecalLifetime=

Before they were I think 20, now I decreased them to 10 and it crashes less often, but still crashes after 20-30 power strikes (improvement from 5 strikes). The odd thing is the blood decals does not lag my computer, why does it cause the crash? Oh and the crash only happens for third-person view.

I also tried to turn on and off sounds in oblivion.ini, but it does not seem to make a difference.

Also I forgot to mention these other combat related mods I had, so in total I have these:

- Seph's hand-to-hand animation replacer, simply replaces animations files and does not include any .esp

- DMC stylish anims

- Gorier blood

- Enhanced hand-to-hand combat, basically just increases h2h damage

- Oblivion Combat Sounds

- Elz More Voice - character shouts "hya hya!" during strikes

- Realistic physics and forces

Oh and my character was fighting a bunch of imperial city guards, if that matters.

Is there any way to see a crash log of some sort? Perhaps that can provide the source of the crash?
