Oblivion keeps crashing every 15-30 minutes

[DasHobbyLP]

Hey guys,

as the title says my Oblivion is recently crashing frequently. It wasn´t always like that, the crashes started a few weeks ago. I have already cleaned dirty mods with TES4Edit and used LOOT to sort them (even though I have rearranged a few mods because of a readme).

 

Here is my load order:

I hope someone can help me. And please, don´t explain too difficult, I´m really bad when it comes to stuff like this.

Thank you

Question ... is this a game with a lot of hours on it? Have you noticed anything weird about certain animations (Legion patrol's torch flames, gates swinging open or closed slowly etc)?

I´ve played my current character for about 90 hours. But there´s nothing wrong with the animation as far as I can tell

I see you use Wrye Bash. It has an animation fixer that will give a percentage of how far towards the stuck animation (aka the A-Bomb) your save is. It's found on the Saves tab right click context menu, down towards the bottom of that menu. Unless it reports a very low percentage I'd run the fix and see if it helps. Running it has no ill effects whatsoever, WB even makes backups of the save automatically (though I always make my own backup first anyways).

My most recent savegame had a percentage of 34. But running the fix didn´t do much of a difference: It still crashed after 30 minutes.

Are you using an ENB ? If yes that's normal, seeing the number of mods you have installed ...

If no, I recommend you to use ENBoost, also with MoreHeap, Oblivion Stutter Remover, the 4GB patch and EngineBugFixes. These mods will help you to CTD less often.

 

Edit: Also, what Unique Landscapes.esp does ? If it is the merged version of all unique landscapes you should not have it together with the other xulxxxx.esp files.

No 30 some-odd percent wouldn't cause any problems ... it was just something that occurred to me when I read your OP.

 

Next question is did you make any changes whatsoever to your load order just before the crashing started (i.e. add/remove any mods from your load order)?

 

A couple of observations from a quick look at your load order. I see you use OCO v2. I also notice that you have both Roberts male v5 and v4 ESPs active. For one thing it is recommended to delete all Roberts male ESPs when using OCO v2 (it's ESP replaces the one from Roberts ... deactivate and make a save before you delete). Also, why are you using both Roberts v4 and v5 at the same time?

 

I tend to recommend using BOSS for sorting Oblivion load orders myself ... LOOT is for newer games (and yes I know the "LOOT crowd" will disagree with me).
