My game is maddingly crashy

[mechatech]

As the title says. Crash after 3 to 4 cell visits. Crash when picking a lock. Traveling in the wilderness via horse, crash. Leave a store in a city, walk ten feet ,crash. This is a new install. I had better cities, all natural, unique landscapes installed a year ago and it was never this crashy. Stripped all that out, crash, crash, crash. I have skipped the main quest using alternate start with Kvatch rebuilt patch. Used BOSS, still crashes.

I dont think you need UOP additional changes if you install the latest UOP.

I assume you clean your mods with tes4edit and use wrye bash and boss. You have a lot of mods that I have never seen so cant really comment on those, however---

I noticed that despite cleaning and taking every precaution as regards load order, archive invalidation etc, correctly managed bash patch,that over the course of the last year m game became gradually more buggy as I installed more mods to the point that I gave up. However patching the exe file to 4gb helped a little,but the big break through for me was Oblivion stutter remover v.4. although I had this installed for a while, it was not until I enabled heap management and set the heap allocation to a 1000 that I noticed my game was no longer crashing. Even the inside cell transition to outside cell no longer ctd the game. It runs virtually crash free to the point that I ran oblivion for four hours until I got an out of memory error. never happened bfore. while I realise that everyones game has different variables and this fix is not guaranteed I tried this on my friends computer, he runs oblivion with absolutely no idea about load order and and his game was extremely buggy, it helped... not so many crashes and when I showed him how to use boss and wrye bash , his game is now crash free. He uses mostly mods of the adult type and nearly all of them are different to my setup. but it worked and is well worth trying. dont try and use high heap settings without patching your exe. file though it just wont work. the patch is available here

http://www.ntcore.com/4gb_patch.php this is for 64 bit versions of windows only.

good luck

That load order is never going to work, without error, unless you include a Bashed Patch -- Cobl absolutely requires it, for starters.

[mechatech]

I have the latest stutter remover installed. I run cobl only for the alyeid steps. I'll start by removing those. I can't run wrye because I can't run blender at the same time. I have to use one python library for wrye or a different library for blender. At this point I'm way over my head for trying to run things. I have the 4gb fix and heap size set to 900.

You do not need Python for Wrye Bash any longer. You can use the standalone. That is a non-issue.

[mechatech]

I didn't know about wrye bash. The last time I used it was 2 years ago.

 

I cleaned the dirty mods as best as I could understand the instruction.

I reinstalled better cities and Let the people drink.

Built a bashed patch.

Game thanks me by hanging on loading the main screen.

 

 

EDIT-

I put back the dirty mods, still hangs. I removed Better Cities and the game loads. Even when everything is set back to the way it was (no bash patch dirty edits) with BC added it hangs.

 

EDIT 2-

Got the game to load with BC installed. No cobl. The issue appears to be the Sensual Walks plugins for BC.

Got a small problem. The eyes on the female Argonians are outside the head. I use colourwheels sexy overhaul. It uses the human head for the females but the bash patch sets the eyes apart for the default argonian head. How do I fix that?

Also still getting crash on exit.

Oblivion crashes on exit for like 95% of people unless you use this mod.

Just checked the comments section. It works great until something goes wrong and then it's a complete game reinstall.

 

The sensual walks for BC hang was caused by an earlier version. Got that fixed now.

 

edit - I still get a ctd everytime I go near the IC waterfront. This whole thing is just driving me nuts.

 

edit2 - took out better cities. Rebuilt the bash patch. IC Waterfront is very crashy still. Enter house, leave house, access menu, CTDs everywhere.

1. Are you updating the masterlist, and running BOSS every time you install OR uninstall any mods?
2. Are you rebuilding your Bashed Patch (correctly) *after* running BOSS, each and every time you install/uninstall any mods?

A new load order may help, but it needs to be taken from Wrye Bash -- right click on the 'File' tab and select 'View mods'. Copy and paste everything, including the spoiler/xml tags.

[mechatech]

Well this is it. Whatever has happened the game has become the most unstable I have ever experienced. Never endings crashes. Removed mods, loaded a save from 100 saves ago, nothing works. Strange thing is I haven't done much with it. Compared to last year where despite some CTDs and not using wrye or boss it was somewhat playable. I was using the console, adding and pulling mods with not a concern and it was a miracle it ran at all yet it ran. Now it's useless. :wallbash:

Thanks for the help.
