CTD on save & corrupted save files

[Binturong]

Hey guys, I'm having a pretty horrible problem with my game crashing about 50 percent of the time that I save, including autosave. And usually when this happens the game only partly writes my character info so the save gets corrupted. This just started happening today when I got the Lost Spires mod and started out the quest line. Seems like it started right around the time I finished the first quest and returned to the guild hall.

 

I also installed sevral other mods from the Knights of the Nine disc, so it could be a conflict. I do use OBMM to load them, and this is my load order:

I'd really like to be able to play, and if someone could give me a hand I'd really appreciate it.

Auto saves can cause you a lot of problems, I would turn that off in your options and now that you mention it, i think that may be the problem. Always do a complete save, I cannot comment on your mod list because I don't know what ooo is, actually i do but i do not use it

[Binturong]

I'll try disabling autosaves.

 

OOO is Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, and all those esp flies are related to it. I'm not sure if Knights is compatible with it, can anyone clarify?

 

nice avatar by the way.

 

 

edit: seems like it doesn't matter how i save, every time i do the game crashes and the new save is corrupted.

Not sure about this, but it could be a memory problem, is your game running really slow?

 

If so, try adjusting some of the settings like texture size, or using something like TweakOblivion to increase your games performance. Looking at your modlist it wouldn't seem that the number of mods would be an issue. Perhaps there are conflicts in these mods that are causing the problem. It may be worth checking the health of your most recent save game (that you've been able to save) in a utility such as "Wrye Bash".

 

As it is, can't be sure these things will fix the problem for you but they could be a good place to start.

 

PM me if I can be of any assistance, I only visit the forums once in a while.

did you start a new game and try saving? if it's not that and it's not the spires mod, might be your computer. so try turning those mods off, a few may not be compatible with KotN, start a new game and save and i'd take my time with launching those mods again if that works

[tyreil829]

or did you think the game crashed while you was saveing then restarted it?

I had this same problem... It was REALLLLY annoying. I couldnt play at all and the game ran SO SLOW. I found no solution for it except to completely uninstall oblivion, all my mods, completely reinstall and add all mods one by one again making sure i could save after each mod install... Took forever but im up and running again! runs smooth with high graphics so i never figured out what the problem was..
