Balagor Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Hi there. I have got a strange problem with Oblivion. When i want to enter the area around White Stallion Lodge (cell 20 -31), the game crashes. Right now i have aprox. 40 savegames.When i try from one of the earlier savegames, i have no problem reaching WSL.This is i great mystery for me. How can a savegame be corrupted?Can anyone please help, or at least make some suggestions?I have of course tried all patches, clean reinstall with no mods, but still the same problem.Thank you in advance.Please notice that i do not answer replies immidiately, due to the big time difference between US and Denmark.Balagor The Nord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 While I cannot answer your question as to WHY games are corrupted I do know that they can be. I had a recent situation where I was testing a mod when the game crashed every time I pressed the 'Load' button. There was no warning, I was thrown back to desk top. Eventually I resolved it by deleting the autosave game. Usually with corrupted saves you get a warning to that effect and it won't load. It can be a bore if you don't save very often. However in these circumstances you can normally go back to the last autosave. (If you've tried reverting to other saves since that won't be possible.) More annoying is the occasional crash which wipes out the autosave as well, and that does happen. I recommend using save and quicksave fairly regularly to avoid tears, heartache and destruction of your pc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balagor Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Thanks for your reply Malchik.The problem with crashing when hitting the load button (in game), i have had ever since Oblivion was released. I think it is a part of the game.But this trouble i have now is realy big. I save very often, quicksave maybe every minut or less when in a big fight. And saves every one hour maybe.But the trouble here is that i have been playin for 2 or 3 weeks, without knowing that i was unable to reach WSL.And now i need to go there with Mazoog the orc knight, to finish a quest. I did not get any warnings at all. I only get warnings if i remove a mod.I don´t know if testing a lot of mods, taking them on and off can create a bug in a savegame.But anoying it is. It seems like i have 2 choices; forget about the quest in WSL, or start all over with 2 weeks of playing. And last; will it maybebe corrupted again if i start all over? That would indeed be tear sheading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 You don't need to go there to complete a quest. The standard game quest ends when you tell Mazoga the Count has made you both Knights Errant. Also there is nothing of interest inside unless added by a mod. Have you tried using the coc command to get into WSL and walking out of the door? Had it been a mod conflict it would surely have been removed by completely deleting Oblivion from your PC and re-installing it. (Simply uninstalling does not necessarily work btw, there have been posts about this elsewhere on the forum). One thing I didn't follow. You say you don't have a problem if you load a previous save game. Surely if you save every hour you have many saves from less than two weeks ago? I'm no tecky expert, I'm afraid. But why not go back to a point you know works and take a different line for a while (i.e. don't just go back over the old ground straight away). Sorry I can't help more. Maybe someone else can.

Balagor Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 It is true that i save very often, so what´s the problem. The problem is that i have been saving for a long time without knowing that i could not reach WSL. So i have to go way back before i find a saving without bugs. Actually from level 34 back to level 11. That´s a lot of regaming.One thing i didn´t understand. (I´m from Demark you know). What do mean try to enter WSL with the coc command. Do you mean the command console? How can i use that to enter? Is there a command for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balagor Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Ok. Hi again.Sorry, i know it´s not a good costum to ask before searching yourself.So i search the wiki for Console commands, and understood your meaning with `coc`You see the trouble is that it is not the WSL itself i need, but also Telepe, which is in the same cell. Telepe is needed for the quest.I tried the coc command heading for Telepe, and it works. I can not get out, whitout crashing, but here i will also be able to use the coc command, to get somewhere else.So i can finish my quest now, and become a knight, without replaying a lot.Thank you very much Malchik. I have really learned a lot. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
