scyris99 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 So I got oblivion and well the game crashes on startup whether I have mods enabled or not, here are my pc specs. i5-2310 @stock clock8 gb RamGeforce 240Gt 1gb gddr5Windows 7 home premium 64-bit. Any Help be apprecated because I have no clue what the issue is, Skyrim and most other games run flawlessly. I can't even get to the intro video. Also my driect-x is fully updated, So its not that, and so are my vid card drivers, I am also the admin for my pc so not sure if thats an issue or not.

Lunytic Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I'm having that same problem today. It was working last night, but not today. But even on a clean install, with everything uninstalled/deleted ahead of time and just trying to run vanilla Oblivion it crashes (very rarely it will show 3 letters of Bethesda before crashing). *Update* I followed the steps in the post here:http://www.thenexusforums.com/index.php?/topic/464705-crashing-on-new-game/page__view__findpost__p__3826698 I found and renamed the .ini file and that seemed to fix the issue. I'd try that. Edited November 20, 2011 by Lunytic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker879 Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) @ scyris99 ... Have you ever been able to run the game (in other words is it crashing on startup after you first installed it or did it used to run OK and now it's crashing on startup)? More details in either case would help. Is it the Game of the Year disk edition or download edition (and if so is it from Steam, Direct2Drive or Impulse)? When you installed the game did you install to the default C:\Program Files (x86) or did you change the install directory to something like C:\Games\Oblivion? At what point of the game startup does it crash? - Edit - You posted while I was head down picking away with two fingers ... glad you're working now.
