Oraclesoldier Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Alright so I hope this is not an annoying question I am about to ask. I have made an effort to search for a solution for hours in three days. When I leave Chorrol I instantly freeze at the black screen after loading and crash...When I leave any town for that matter. This did not happen before I started tinkering with a horse mod and another armor mod. But then I FULLY un-installed and re-installed while testing if I was okay all the way. Mid-way I did not get a crash but after finishing all my mods (removing as many that I don't need as possible) I find that I start crashing again. What could cause this?

Striker879 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 May I ask as to your 'saving habits'? By that I mean, are you a quicksaver, an Esc menu saver or a named saver from the console prompt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oraclesoldier Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 @Striker879 I'm a quicksaver. Esc - Save. @Bben46 Alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Quicksave (F5 by default) is a known corrupter of save files. Only use save from the Esc menu (never overwriting a save ... make each save in a new slot) or console named saves, again without overwriting.

Oraclesoldier Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ben, I used your full and complete uninstallation guide on your Oblivion solution thread within your link...It seems that was the only way to clear up whatever was corrupt in my game, it had more to do than my files for the reason it would not work. I attempted the "restart to vanilla settings" and got the same results from a clean new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back it up somewhere, but take it out of the save directory. You want to force Oblvion to make a completely clean autosave. You can also disable autosave. Given that it's happening during moving in and out of cities, it might be that. It's dangerous, so do this at your own risk. 1. backup your oblivion.ini file2. Open that file in notepad 3. find the [GamePlay] section4. There are four entries that autosave uses. You'll change each of them from 1 to zero. bSaveOnTravel=0bSaveOnWait=0bSaveOnRest=0 *lots of stuff don't change* bSaveOnInteriorExteriorSwitch=0 I use streamline now for my autosaving. I can't say one way or the other if it works better because I haven't been using it long. Edit: the other thing that causes crashes like this are resource compatibility problems. Read this thread about how to figure those out. http://forums.bethsoft.com/topic/775917-compatibility-and-you/page__p__11605486#entry11605486 Edited January 7, 2013 by talveren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
