Help: Oblivion OBSE error?

[kichigaikikyokagome]

I recently started installing mods. I tested the first few and they were working. Around the fifth or so, it said I needed to install OBSE version 14 or higher to run that mod. So I installed version OBSE 15...

 

I tested it afterwards, and it loaded okay. I fast travelled to one remote place, and it was okay. I fast travelled to the Chestnut Handy Stables, and at the end of its loading, Oblivion quit.

 

After that, OBSE would not open Oblivion anymore, and I got an error when I tried:

 

Error: NiXAdapterDesc::Get Device Caps () failed.

 

I don't know what program had "get device caps" in it... I'm guessing it was the OBSE. I installed the "unnofficial patch" but I'm not sure if it will help.

 

I restarted and tested OBSE again. It ran fine, loaded fine, and then when i tried to fast travel to Chestnut Handy stables, it quit in the same place.

 

Any suggestions?

 

BTW, it was the Jade Tabaxi Cat Race, which required this mod Tabaxi Cat race, which required this mod CM Partners that I had to install, which all needed OBSE to work.

 

Help, please?

when you installed OBSE, you should have gotten an OBSE icon on your desktop, you have to start Oblivion by clicking on that icon...are you?

That is a DirectX message saying certain device lacks the feature the function called. This device can be any: your DVD driver, Starforce "protection" drivers (although Bethesda doesn't uses this accursed thing, several other games may place it in your machine), Virtual drivers and most probably your video card driver. Chances are you installed new drivers without properly cleaning the previous.

 

If so my advice is you use an utility like DriveCleaner and religiously follows it's instructions.

 

Less commonly would be you card lacking the feature at all, what shouldn't happens with most modern video cards.

 

But to us really being able to help you you must supply detailed information of your system. placing the report of your dxdiag is a good start. To do so click in the "Start" button, next in run... in the windows type dxdiag and click ok. There you click in the "Save All information" and will be prompted to save a text file. copy the contents of this file here.

 

Finally could be OBSE having problems with the version of your executable Oblivion
