Oblivion Refusing to Load.

[Iameggman]

Returned to my Oblivion testing after a month or so, the game was loading and playing fine but now refuses to load, through Steam and Wrye Bash. It's get to the Oblivion Launcher but after clicking play game It closes and Oblivion doesn't load.

 

BOSS hasn't found any major errors neither has TES 4 Edit.

 

Here's my Load list, hasn't been changed since the game was last working, I simply had a break and came back.

This happened to me a while back, I fixed it by deleting the Oblivion.ini file [located in Documents\My Games\Oblivion] and with how modded the game is you should launch the game with obse_launcher.exe instead of the launcher. Hope one of these two options helps out, happy gaming.

[Iameggman]

I made a backup of my current Ini and deleted It, loaded the game and still have the same problem, definitely launching through OBSE launcher, this Is really frustrating because It was working a month back, I left It at no problems I was simply having a break whilst waiting for the next Maskar's Overhaul update.

[xTHExWEEDxBROSx]

Most of the time this happens [and deleting the .ini does not work] I generally just reinstall the game fresh, Bethesda games are not the most stable of games, especially when modded. Hopefully someone that has gone through the same thing [and not just nuked it and started over] will come along and help out, sorry I could not be more help.

 

[Edit] Looked around on Google for a while but did not come up with much. Try disabling your mods temperately then resetting the Oblivion.ini, if you have made any significant hardware changes [or updated your DirectX] then the game will need to regen the .ini. A few people have mentioned that setting their video card to default settings seamed to help. It might be worth it to try to run the game vanilla and if it runs then start activating mods one at a time. I found a few other posts of people with similar issues but there are no resolutions posted so I assume that the poster just reinstalled their game. But I listed above all the stuff that was mentioned just in case it works for you.

I found the Issue, It was Oblivion Stutter Remover and a d3d9 file In the Oblivion main directory. After I removed them both the game loaded, I've now got to activate all my mods and reinstall some others that I'd uninstalled, 1 at a time I guess. Hopefully It all goes smoothly, thanks for the help.

Yeah OBSR sometimes interacts strangely with the game, I had to recently get rid of it because it suddenly disabled all of my combat sounds, glad to hear you figured it out though.

Just from my reading in Oblivion and modding support forums, it's one of the most often mentioned. IMO games like Oblivion deserve to be played on systems capable of fully playing them. Of course that's not always possible, but as time goes on it's becoming an increasingly smaller number of people. Even laptops are available with Nvidia 1080 graphics, and even 9-series controllers are more than enough for Oblivion etc.
