DudelSaur Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 After a certain amount of gameplay, there is no way of me saving without a CTD and a corrupt file. I have no idea if a mod or the game settings are to blame. Can anyone help me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mixxa77 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 As usual: Modlist? Do you use any performance improvement mods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudelSaur Posted March 23, 2020 Author Share Posted March 23, 2020 Here as follows (both on and off Vortex), these are the 47 active mods: OBSEBlockheadIrresponsible HorsesOblivion Character OverhaulOblivion Stutter Remover Optimized-Duel Triple Core 1Speechcraft EnhancedUnofficial Oblivion DLC Patches4gb Ram PatcherSpells Be EffectiveYet Another Vampire EyesHorses Turn FasterCommandMountUseful Adoring Fan WarriorHound of DoomSheogorath AnimationsCane of SheogorathSheogorath's EyesOblivion Stutter RemoverVanity Camera SmootherUnofficial Shivering Isles PatchUnofficial Oblivion PatchNirnoot CompletionEasier Speechcraft Training QuestFaster Level UpDragon ArmorFemale Sheogorath RegaliaArenaAliveAliveWatersMannimarco RevistedSlaughterfish Fin GleamSiikas Farm AnimalsMore Animals FixedRedbag-Friendly AnimalsBetter Horse EyesFaster Horses The following are inactive: Dunmer ears Morrowind Style, Morrowind Style Argonians, Danis13 Beauty Eyes Replacement, IFT Improved Facial Textures, IAFT Improved Argonian Facial Textures, and OBSE Test Plugin. (OBSE Test plugin says that I installed OBSE correctly) For the first few hours the game saves fine, but from around the time of escorting Martin to Cloud Ruler and forward I get constant CTDs upon saving by any means (quicksave, autosave, console command, and normal). None of the crashes started at a specific point in my playthroughs, but I think the commonality lies within accumulating items, levels, quests, etc. Forgive the lengthy post, but I do appreciate your help. I have also been told that I might be a problem with Oblivion files becoming too large on their own, so that might be the issue. Hopefully this list will provide some clues. I also want to let you know I have disabled the Scripted Auto Save function in the Oblivion.ini file. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 This falls into the category of 'shot in the dark' ... see what Animation Fixer reports for your progress towards the A-Bomb bug in one of those saves just prior to crashing on save.

mixxa77 Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Nothing in that list instinctively strikes me as problematic. Is the order you posted your modlist also your actual mod load order or is your load order different? You could also try the usual for testing: Disable all mods: See if problem persists. Then enable some mods: See if problem persists, and so on, working your way to the "problem" mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DudelSaur Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 Striker879So the preceding successful save harbors a bug that makes the next one CTD, is that what you mean about the A-bomb bug? mixxa77I think I'll try to do a vanilla run.

Striker879 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 The stuck animation (aka A-Bomb) bug is caused by a particular bit in the save file incrementing when it shouldn't. When it gets bad enough the game won't run long when loading an affected save. I'm not saying that your problem is the A-Bomb ... troubleshooting is about eliminating possibilities until either the problem is resolved or there are no further possibilities (in which case you fail to resolve the problem).

DudelSaur Posted March 25, 2020 Author Share Posted March 25, 2020 I see. Does stuck animation bugs occur in vanilla? I am thinking of doing a no mod playthrough to see if it helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Yes ... the bug is a vanilla bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
