Oblivion Crashing!

[Nevakonaza]

Just got The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Deluxe from steam,Installed but the game just crashes...and the sound loops until i ctrl+alt+del and close it.

In the event viewer this is the problem,I have no idea whats going on!

Have tried running as Admin,and as XP SP2 and still no joy.

Appreciate any help!

You could try the Unofficial Patch that fixed lots of bugs. However I'm not sure how this plays with the Steam version. I'm sure it will be fine though.

Also this page here mentions codecs causing the problems so this might help.

Thanks for your help,But id rather not mess around with it,Steam should have it updated and patched fully anyway shouldnt it?

Also 4gb patch helps.

Same as top,Does steam not fully patch?

Seeing all those .net errors would lead me to uninstalling and reinstalling .net myself.

Yeah i was getting those errors before,Which was stopping GTA IV working and i ran windows updates and it downloaded and installed all the latest .net for me,GTA IV works fine now.

As for Oblivion,Im downloading the unofficial patchs & updates right now,Will post back with results.

Installed un-official patch + Updater patch and still no go,I get to the game menu and start a new game then i just get a black screen with sound looping.

Soooo annoying!

Got a fix for the problem from someone else,It was because GX sound option was enabled in the Xonar D1 settings,Disabled it and it works fine now.

thanks for your help anyway guys.
