Oblivion crashes :(

jegz · 17 Apr 2006 at 15:04

Just got oblivion and played through the tutorial and am just starting to begin the quests.

Im now outside and looking for some guy but nearly everytime i get attacked the game crashes to the desktop.

It worked fine for the first hour or 2 of the game just enough for me to want to play it and now its doing this :mad:

has anyone else had this problem ??? Plz help

Just thought i'd add my specs (i know theyre low but they meet the requirements):

Athlon 2800+ barton
1gb of corsair pc 3200
ATI Radeon 9600 tx

Do you mean the .net framework for the ATI drivers???

Just did it and get the same crash. Its seems its when a lot of movement goes on at once.

Ive looked for patches but there is none i can find

Gutted looks like ill have to settle for playing it on my mates pc :mad:

Any more ideas very welcome !

yeha i have the processor overclocked but it is stable normally its a 2600+ but i have it running @ 2083mhz instead and its generally about 40-44c.

I have the latest drivers for the gfx card which is not overclocked atm. the mobo is a *whisper* PCCHIPS M848A *cough* iirc will try that file rename in a min hopefully that will work

Running @ stock now. Still getting more random crashes

Gonna try renaming that folder is there anything enls it could be :confused:

Renaming that folder seems to work

cheers mate!

Yeah man.

It just crashed then after making some awful white noise like noises :eek:

Is there a know compatibility issue with creative cards or summat???

jegz · 17 Apr 2006 at 20:20

If i do that wouldn't it stop the sound all together??

I've just installed the creative drivers and tried playing it and it crashed randomly

It seems to be a lot better now for some reason. The crashes arent as frequent as when i first installed it so i think it must have been something to do with the sound :confused:

The only time it crashes now is sometimes when i leave an area it doesnt show the loading screen it just crashes to the desktop

Other than that this game is really good but it makes me wish i could buy a new pc :mad:

Cheers

It seems the general consensus <sp> is that oblivion is a buggy as buggery game if you have a lower end system. My crashes are getting fewer and far between now and are more or less confined to when passing through doors :confused:

Lets hope bethsheda release a patch pretty soon and thank **** for the autosave function

(although i still had to do a quest 3 times earlier :mad:

)
