ancient1 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 OK that might make a difference. I know it does in some games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocketTM Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Everytime I play more than 2 hours and I want to shut down the game I get this message, that there was a problem with oblivion and that it must shut down. All settings stay the way I made them, and why should I care for that? ^^ I want to shut the game down anyway, so may it crash if I try. Better than crashing while I play. :D I don't know what it is or where it comes from, but when all these while-playing CTD's were gone, this 'problem' occured. But as I said, I do not care for that as it won't disturb me while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancient1 Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 You are having the same problem I am, it doesn't alway's occure but it's just a little bug that annoy's me cause I know that it shouldn't be doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xachan86 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 It happens to me too, and boy! it's annoying to have to redo the settings everytime i play !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocketTM Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Why do you have to redo your settings? o_OStart the game, make your settings, exit. Next time your game crushes while exiting it doesn't matter... It's just easy. ^^ My settings stay all the same... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sativarg Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 I'm still glad I found the problem in my game. The mod that was causing it is a very good one and if it was causing enough instability to crash the game every time I exited it may have been causing other, less obvious, problems. Every now and then my last save would be corrupt and that has not happened since I rebuilt the problem mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xachan86 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Kuschel> for an unknown reason, when i exit the game and it says that Obilvion caused a problem, it makes me loose a part of my settings (always the same) : level of details about shadows, trees, water reflexion and so on. And the last time it exited correctly (it happened to me today), i saw that my settings were kept. So now it doesn't really matter if it crashes because the settings are all right, but before that it was really annoying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sativarg Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 When the game crashes on exit it is unable to edit the INI file that holds the settings. If you want to see the settings changes copy the oblivion.ini to a temporary location. Then make some settings changes in the game and exit. If the exit is normal the changes will be made to the Oblivion.ini in the My games/Oblivion folder. You can find them with a program that can quickly locate file differences. I use Files Compare Tool . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocketTM Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 xa_chan> That's what I meant by starting the game, editing settings, save and then exit the game. ^^ It will not crash on exit if it only runs a few minutest. Sure that your settings are fine then. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 Yeah, I don't think theres anything you can do to stop it crashing on exit. It's happened to me with a completely fresh install of Oblivion in the past. (In fact a completely fresh install of Windows). No mods loaded, nothing. If you make changes then exit without actually playing, then it should save your settings fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
