thomasv333 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Hello, I have a weird problem that just started recently when I am indoors usualy near a wall or door or some times just looking in a particular direction just right the screen will go black, HUD still up. When I move the mouse to look in a different spot the blackness goes away and everything is fine until I look at the offending region again then Blackness again. Does anyone what causes this and how to fix it, I am running FCOM with alot of other mods, never had this problem until I reinstalled my game. Game is running much better now but now I have this weird bug. (And no it's not the Nvidia black screen bug, been there, fixed that) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 This sounds like the infamous Nvidia black screen. It happens under certain conditions when using an Nvidia video board. A new update to the fix is available here: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=17947 If you do not have an nvidia board, this will not work for you.

A new update to the fix is available here: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=17947 If you do not have an nvidia board, this will not work for you. I downloaded that fix "just in case" I ran into the problem but I never did until I downloaded a specific mod the other day. Also since that mod I have suddenly gone from always having Zero Bloat in my save games according to Wrye Bash, to having bloat in my save games according to Wrye Bash. After running into the black screen error I installed Deadly Reflex and I didn't really like it for myself, and it occurred to me that the scripted magic effects from deadly reflex may be the actual culprit of the bloat. I'm planning to remove both these mods and go back to a savegame prior to both, BUT! I'm concerned that I won't be able to completely remove the changes (especially from Deadly reflex). I'll start a new thread addressing this particular part of the problem though. The pertinent thought is, if this happened after making a significant change to your game maybe the answer is to remove that variable. Just a thought.

thomasv333 Posted July 24, 2008 Author Share Posted July 24, 2008 Just deactivated a bunch of mods to track down the issue, and also installed the latest nividia black screen bug fix. Nothing changed the problem is still happening but I did notice that the screen only goes black when in sneak mode. Any suggestions?

Thanks Have you tried installing the Nvidea patch yet? Come to think of it, I may have been in sneak mode when I ran into this issue also, since I was exploring a castle mod that didn't recognize my "ownership" (harvest containers). I think I'm convinced to try the patch I just worry about messing with video card when it basically works.. Make sure you create a "Restore Point" prior to installing it if you haven't yet.

What Nvidia patch are you referring too? I have the most recent black screen bug fix installed ver 1.0.2. I have the version 6.14.0011.7519 drivers installed for my nVidia GeForce 8800GTS512 card installed.Is their a gfx driver patch for oblivion?
