crash to desktop

[Maeve]

Hi everyone,

 

This is driving me nuts, I have built and rebuilt oblivion over 5 times and I still seem to have exactly the same problem.

If I try to enter any of the necromancer forts such as Istrius I CTD about a third of the way through the loading bar. Everywhere else is almost flawless and a crash very rare. I have Bossed and Wyre Bashed many times...Any suggestions?

Usually when I see this type of crash - either in a particular location, or when some particular thing is supposed to be there - it is caused by something that has been removed. The game expects to see something in that location and it isn't there. Possibly something from a mod that you removed at some time.

 

If you use OBMM it keeps a list of all mods that were installed at every save. By going back to earlier saves and finding one that doesn't crash, then comparing that mod list with your current list you may be able to narrow it down some.

 

If you have reinstalled without removing the data from the old mods, it could be a missing mesh, texture or something else that is not removed during a normal reinstall. The built in game uninstall does not remove anything from mods - It ONLY removes the files that were installed when you first installed the game.

 

Here is a troubleshooting procedure that might help you. Be sure to make a save near one of the locations that crashes first.

Bben's Oblivion Revert to Vanilla game

WIKI

http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Revert_to_vanilla_data

 

Last resort, This procedure does remove everything not removed by the game uninstall, and leads you through a fresh reinstall in the right location.

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

http://wiki.tesnexus.com/index.php/Oblivion_reinstall_procedure

 

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

 

Once you have a working game use this to keep it safe while trying new mods

Thanks bben46,

I have clean installed a few times and followed FCOM instructions to the letter but still the same problem with necromancers (in caves and forts).

I will try your suggestions.

[HeyYou]

When building your bashed patch, there are a couple of import options for OOO that should NOT be checked..... I don't recall exactly what they were at this point though. I ran into the same problem.
