Oblivion crashes when loading master files

[OrganicView]

EDIT : Well I feel stupid now. Turns out the Knights of the Nine unofficial patch was causing the crash, but only when I had a master enabled. Did not suspect that at all. Sorry :/

 

 

Hello Oblivion community !

 

Deciding it was the time to play Oblivion one more time, I started to set it up, adding some mods as usual. When my setup was ready, I launched the game, only to find it crashing right after the logos, before the main menu. The usual culprit is a missing master file, but after a thorough inspection of my mod list, there was none.

So I go the hard way and disable and enable mods one by one until I find the one that's causing the crash. After a lot of testing, research, verification of the integrity of the cache, a reinstall, I came to the conclusion that the crash was caused by loading master files (.esm). In my setup, there are three distinct master files ( Cobl main.esm ; CM Parterns.esm and Open cities Ressrouces.esm ).Simply enabling either of them caused the crash.

 

So I'm here, out of solutions, hoping that someone knows a fix, or has an idea about why that is. I'd like to note that I had successfully played a modded Oblivion on the exact same system a few month before. The only change was that I upgraded from the regular Goty version of the game to the Deluxe Goty version.

 

Here's my load order (note that this one loads fine, it only crashes when I add a master file - see above):

You have a decent sized list of mods here mate. Do you know if those .esm plugins conflict with anything in your load order? If by enabling any of them causes a crash, I am assuming there is a conflict somewhere....

 

Have you tried disabling all plugins besides each of those .esms? I know you said you went one by one, but did you single just these ones out as well? If you haven't and the game loads correctly, then I think it would confirm my suspicions.

Edit: No problem, glad you figured it out!

Yeah, I did not suspect the unofficial patches because those are usually pretty reliable, but thanks for taking the time to answer me anyways :)
