Kirdring Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 Hello, I am having a very serious problem with my game :( I have been working on this character for a very long time & my game is 300+ hours, so I really don't want to have to start over. Everything is running smooth, but randomly when I enter a town, the loading screen will start to load then lock up hard, most of the time I can't even pull up the task manager to shut down the game and have to shut down my PC. Now here is the strange & hard to explain part, lets say I saved right before I entered this town, when I start my game back up it will do it every time, though it will load other towns. If I go back a few saves I can load the town fine. For example, I was playing the other day traveling from Skingrad to Anvil to the Imperial City moving stuff around & selling, when I was done I tried to go to Chorrol & it froze. Tried all 5ish saves before it, going strait to Chorrol each time and it froze, the sixth save back I can go to Chorrol. I first started having this issue in Skingrad where I have a house and lots of loot. I have all the patches installed, I have Pentium D 2.8 Ghz CPU, 2 GB RAM, GeForce 8400 GS GPU. I did install mods many hours into my game only to read after, that is not the best idea. & it is very likely that this started around then, though its hard to say cuz I don't play for long periods of time, & I have been suffering with this for some time now. I have tried uninstalling all but the few mods I really want but it didn't help, I reinstalled the game & mods a while back, I've tried lowering the video settings also. I am a mod noob but tried to pay attention to compatibility. Here is a screenshot of obmm & wrye bash to show my mods. I have searched the web for hours & have not heard of anything quite like it :( Sorry if my post is confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyYou Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 all natural real lights, and window lighting system both? Get rid of one or the other, and see if that doesn't improve it's attitude any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirdring Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Thanks HeyYou! I will try that. Can I uninstall real lights without uninstalling the rest of all natural? The read me doesn't say, it says you can use real lights without the rest but nothing on uninstalling just real lights & obmm warned me against it.

Hickory Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 all natural real lights, and window lighting system both? Get rid of one or the other, and see if that doesn't improve it's attitude any. All Natural Real Lights and AWLS are perfectly compatible with one another. One is a weather mod, the other is not. There is no conflict. I run both.

I have searched the web for hours & have not heard of anything quite like it :( Sorry if my post is confusing. A couple of things of note: 1. You have Cobl Tweaks and Cobl filter but you do not have Cobl Main.esm active. Make sure that these have not been merged into your Bashed Patch, or enable Cobl Main.esm 2. You should not be using HrmnsOblivionScriptOptimizationv1.0.esp . There is absolutely no performance increase with this mod, but more importantly it changes FormIDs, thus breaking Shivering Isles. It is not a safe mod. 3. You are using a very old version of Wrye Bash. Suggest you update to the latest 294. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirdring Posted August 10, 2011 Author Share Posted August 10, 2011 (edited) Thanks Hickory :) I did all of that but unfortunately no change :( cobl has only been that way for a short time, I noticed & fixed it after I made that post.O ya, I probably should have mentioned, I do not have SI.

Kirdring Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 I tried disabling real lights & that didn't work. So as much as I hated to do it cuz I LOVE that mod, I disabled AWLS. It totally fixed it! :D I'm going to try & install a newer version of AWLS & see if it works. Thanks guys! :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 You say you have 300+ hours on this character. Have you checked (you can do it in Wrye Bash) for the ABomb animation bug? If you are at or near the limit, AWLS will certainly hit you hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirdring Posted August 11, 2011 Author Share Posted August 11, 2011 Thanks Hickory!! That seems to have done the trick :D I was really hoping someone could help me get that mod working :wub: I was at 106%, I had heard of the bug but didn't have animation issues, nor did I know I could fix it! THANK YOU!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU!! Excellent... that you have it sorted, not that you were victim of the Abomb bug. :) Oh, you did have animation issues. Even candles have animations, and remember: Animated Window Lighting System. :D One more thing: you will have to remember to keep your eye on it now. I don't know how often, as it's never happened to me. Just don't overdo it. Only fix it when it gets near to 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
