scot Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 (edited) Hello, recently I decided to go back to oblivion only to find out this annoying problem with the water shaders, or at least I think it's the shaders :S Anyway when I travel around the LOD for the water looks fine but as soon as a get too close to the water it just gets opaque, and if I travel to a nearby lake it's just some areas that are opaque :S posted the pictures bellow sorry don't know how to make them smaller :S Anyway I tried everything, I reseted the ini file on my documents even though I only changed the reflections settings, I tried with mods, without mods, tried another water mod, tried liquid water mod, tried with the nvidea settings I allways used since years ago tried without those settings, deleted water related textures, tried without any obse plugins although most of them are just to prevent CTDs which they do, tried validate the archive thing for textures, tried with log gen, tried without lodgen, tried without the shader files it crashed (didn't know they were part of the vanila game XD) ugrids thingy in the ini is the same as default never changed that. Anyway I tried everything and nothing, game runs really well no ctd no lags the only problem is the water... used to work fine with this computer, I have nvidea 970 with 4 gb vram good enough processor 8 ram etc upgraded my computer 2 years ago and can run everything pretty well. Im thinking it's either a shader problem somehow or some new nvidea driver messed up the game I think this problem started after I used LODGEN with some other mod to give everything visible but I don't know I tried with vanilla LOD files and the LODGEN ones. Please help me try to understand what's going on :sad: Edited November 25, 2017 by scot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBudreck Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 A little bit of a guess here, but are you using a graphic overhaul such as OBGE (aka Oblivion Reloaded)? OBGE has its own INI file in which you can disable its water shaders. I had problems, although probably not identical to yours, with OBGE, and I disabled its water shaders.

scot Posted November 25, 2017 Author Share Posted November 25, 2017 Hey thank you for the reply, fixed it yesterday, Jobra pointed for ENB I remember I tried it some time ago so I reinstall it to see if it fixed the problem it did not and the game would crash more often :( so the ENB led me to ENBOOST, which I installed yesterday and game runs so smooth now been stresstesting all day yesterday fast travelling multiple times running from one end to another of the map going in and out of the cities and no CTD :D, anyway none of this is related but in my quest to oblivion perfection I noticed I had to remove IC island unique landscape mod because it was causing crashes for better cities and noticed something during stresstesting, the water bug was only around lake rumare :S so I went to check my meshes folder and the unique landscape ic island water mesh for lodgen was still there so I deleted it and ran LODGEN and voila no more problems and I was able to stop CTDs as well :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidBudreck Posted November 25, 2017 Share Posted November 25, 2017 Great! I certainly with I could solve my own CTDs! My Oblivion is so heavily modded that I get CTD's frustratingly frequently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
