Oblivion Crashing on Start Up

[Firerecon34]

Hello, I've been having this problem fairly recently. Ever since I ran Oblivion through Vortex (choosing it from Games and then managing it), it has started crashing every time I press play from the launcher or run Oblivion.exe. Once I launch it, a small black window appears in the upper left part of the screen and then disappears after a few seconds. I am not sure if this is a Vortex problem or my game problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Load order?

 

Tried MessageLogger?

If you've not been successful launching Oblivion using the Oblivion executables directly, then the problem clearly is something other than your mod manager. Load order (as has already been mentioned)? Missing masters? Texture file problems?

Like you mentioned Augusta Claudia, there is a missing master according to Vortex. It says that p1dseeyousleep - vvadvanced.esp despends on Cobl Main.esm and VVAdvanced.esm and that they are not enabled.

Did you find these missing masters?

[Striker879]

You don't even have COBL installed so anything that depends on COBL will give you a missing master crash.

 

You are also using multiple versions of mods that require you to use only one of the optional ESPs (e.g. use one RealisticForce ESP ... not all three).

It has been a while since I posted last, but I decided to come back if you are all still willing to help.

Striker879, I actually have installed COBL recently, but I still get the same error that I started out with. I have all of the data files like Cobl Main.esm, Cobl Glue.esp, Cobl Races.esp, Cobl Si.esp, ad Cobl Tweaks.esp. Do I need every one of these, or are some unnecessary by looking at my load order?

What about the other missing master you mentioned ... VVAdvanced.esm ?

 

Edit - I use See You Sleep DLL myself (the masterless version). Haven't ever tried the one you are using so I can't say whether there are any differences but the DLL version does say it's an update to the one you're using.

I added VVAdvanced.esm to my data files but I still get the crash as before. Everything has been up since I ran Oblivion through Vortex.

[Striker879]

What happens if you put EnhancedWeather - Darker Nights, 80.esp after EnhancedWeather.esp instead of before it?

 

- Edit - On your COBL question I missed last time ... I have Cobl Main.esm, Cobl Glue.esp, Cobl Si.esp and Cobl Tweaks - SI.esp as well as Cobl Filter Late MERGE ONLY.esp (but I believe you'll only use the Late MERGE ONLY.esp if you also use Wrye Bash and build/rebuild your bashed patch). I think you'll find that Cobl Races.esp will conflict with Oblivion Character Overhaul v2.

 

Additionally I just noticed USIPS Additional Changes.esp listed before DLCShiveringIsles.esp (should be after) ... what are you using to sort your load order?
