Question2 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I uninstalled oblivion, then reinstalled the GOTY version (oblivion + shivering isles). I then deleted my old oblivion.ini When i start the game using OBMM, i get a command prompt screen, then the game goes to full screen mode for a while and then the game closes. No error messages, nothing. It just keeps closing. Same thing happens if i try to start the game using the launcher. Any ideas whats going on?

nosisab Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 you may have saved games relying on ESMs not there anymore. This is known cause of the reported CTD type. Besides, to grant a really clean install you must delete the former Oblivion folder content too for something there are still tried by the game (mainly the /Data folder but not restricted to it).

Question2 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Are there any log files that will tell me what is causing the crash? I cant even get ingame to load a save. Theres just way too many mods and plugins in my oblivion folder, deleting it and reinstalling would take forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosisab Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) Many of those mods there got corrupted when you reinstalled the game, be by losing files, missing needed changes in the ini files, too many reasons I can think and too many to enumerate all. you should try reinstalling at least the bigger ones, bashing them again as needed... I can't advice any magic way to do it for I don't know one and some work on your part if trying to keep the old installation is unavoidable. Be aware even changes in the load order can turn the game unplayable in some circumstances. Edited January 28, 2012 by nosisab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question2 Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) What is this bashing then? Edit : I reinstalled and was able to launch shivering isles, but after installing most of my mods again, it now crashes on load... Edit 2 : Game companion doesnt work anymore, i set the game to windowed mode but FF mode doesnt activate. Edit 3 : Found the problem, for some reason when i load lop eared elf mini.esp from the x117 race mod, the game will CTD on start.... Edit 4 : Restarted PC, game companion now works. Omod was faulty, hence the crash. Edited January 28, 2012 by Question2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
