Black Screen Crashing

[JackGoff]

I was playing it twice today, once for about 10 minutes trying out the new hairstyles and stuff from this http://www.*site not allowed*/showthread.php?tid=3812 and the screen went black and the game froze. I had to turn my computer off with the button as it was basically lagging my whole PC.

 

The second time I was mucking around and was viewing the Armamentarium items and I had the same problem.

 

This are my pc specs:

AMD Athlon ll X2 P340

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 Graphics Card (512 mb dedicated)

2GB Ram

 

I play on max detail.

Playing on max detail with all of those graphic hungry mods, with an HD5470 is just not going to cut it -- it ain't up to it, I'm afraid.

It's weird though because normal gameplay is fine, it stutters occasionally when I start it up and then it's all smooth sailing. What would you recommend - I remove some graphical mods or lower the detail or both? (when I first got it I was playing on max detail on vanilla Oblivion fine). I also think its worth emphasizing the fact that it only crashed when I was interacting with the mods.

 

If you recommend I remove some graphical mods, which ones?

[Hickory]

The issues you are having are down to your video card's lack of dedicated memory. Only 512 MB with that many graphic hungry mods is just not enough. The ideal situation would be a better graphics card, but failing that you will have to sacrifice some of the hungrier mods. The first to go should be any hi-res texture replacers you have, such as Quarls, and also anything like RAEVWD. And I notice you have OBGE support plugin. Anything that uses OBGE is going to tax your poor video card -- it has to go. Lastly, and unfortunately, UL can be very taxing in some areas. The worst, from my recollection, are the outskirts of Bravil, Chorrol and around the IC waterfront. Remember that even some hi-res textures for races will have a detrimental effect, too.

 

Remove Natural Weather, as you already have Weather All Natural -- don't run both.

 

Don't be tempted to remove OOO, as that will have no detrimental effect on graphics.

Thanks for the advice. I will remove Qarl's texture pack. I looked at RAEVWD but it was saying that it is extremely taxing on computers so I will definitely not include that. I think I'll leave UL on for now as it is supposedly amazing, but if there are any further troubles it will be gone in an instant. Also - thanks for spotting the two weather mods. I had noticed that the weather was changing instantly, there was no transition. This was probably caused by the conflict of the two mods.

 

Thanks for your help man. <3

 

EDIT: didn't know how to properly thank you but I gave you kudos!

The constantly changing weather is a bug in Natural weather. There's a fix for it by Ryu Doppler but if you're removing it you don't need to bother.
