Oblivion and FO3 freezes when I start new game!


Recommended Posts

First off my system:

 

WIN 7HP64

AMD PHENOM II x6 2.8 GHZ

1xATI RADEON SAPPHIRE HD 6950 2GB

KINGSTON 14 GB (1x2gb/3x4gb) DDR3 1600MHZ RAM

FO3/FO NV/CUBE EXPERIMENTAL

OBLIVION Orig/OBLIVION GOTY/NEHRIM

 

Ok, I have scoured these forums(And google) and have yet to find someone else with the same symptoms that I'm experiencing with this game, note that I have not only previously installed/ran this game successfully in the past but have also dealt with the same issue as well, and how I got it to run again, I have no idea..But as it stands these games will-not run at all even without mods and a clean install...And yes, I ran this in admin/compat-mode and checked off the proper data files and updated everything imaginable, from my games and video to my sound and DX.

 

I always install my game in ! TZO_VideoGame, or ! TZO_Games with not a single issue for any of my games whatsoever since 2003 over 3 OS'es, if it was an issue, then widows wouldn't allow this character >(!)< in naming a folder so UAC is not an issue.

 

Now with that in mind, I am having difficulties in starting a new/reloading a game while running both FO3/Cube and Oblivion/Nehrim the symptoms are as follows: First there is no music or sound playing at the intro screen, and when I try to start a new/load game, the game freezes, now here's the sucky thing, when I completely un/reinstalled both FO3 and Oblivion (Including Nehrim/Cube, every mod, mod tools, ini files, save files, user files, and reg file!) and these games still have the exact symptoms when reinstalled, (With nary a single mod or save game at all...Ever!) so as it now stands both my Oblivion and FO3 will, not, work, at, all! The stinking irony is that FO NV actually runs, but with the exact same symptoms save for the fact that I cannot shut down the game without a task manager prog-kill! Also I even uninstalled FO NV and steam plus I re-updated/checked integrity to the same end. When I did have success running the games/mods I had to kill both games via Task Manager.

 

Any help would be appreciated, I would also like to ask; what registry settings does Cube and Nehrim make to my system?

 

I'm sorry I had to post this in another site's forum but I have no responses so far.

Possibly a codec issue. Try installing the klite basic codec pack. Be sure it is set to repair broken codecs, and ffdshow is set to ignore oblivion/fo3/fonv, both audio, and video.

Sound is not the issue, thanks though, for your feedback. I found out it has to be a mod, (It's ALWAYS a Fruchin' MOD!:rolleyes:) that has corrupted a save, I ran the game with another account and it ran fine...But when I tried to re-load a early save, the loading process froze and upon restarting I was back at square one..So it's impossible for me to try and trouble shoot which mod is screwing everything up. I just ran a utillity called revo uninstaller which finds and cleans up a program's install, from the directory to the registry! I just now reinstalled Oblivion, and will test it to see if it works on my main account, if it doesn't I'll just have to run it on a new fresh account..I'll post an update when through!

Holy CRAP, You were right! I turned my system upside-down for the solution, I didn't think it was the sound because I already had K-Lite codec pack 64 installed...But what I didn't know is that I had another 32 bit K-lite pack installed as well, so I uninstalled the 32 bit prog and VIOLA! I'm back! Thanks a lot, it's true what they say, that it's often the simplest and overlooked step that is the solution!

 

You definitely get a Kudos from me!
