Just reinstalled Oblivion to play it again under Windows 7 and just remembered about the problems it had when closing in Vista, it'd either take absolutely ages to close or it'd just crash. The same problem exists in Windows 7 as well.

Is there any fix out?

Thanks
Craig.
 
Using console in game and entering 'qqq' to quit can help reduce the annoying crash, I seem to remember, but doesn't always.

The bug is there in XP as well. Generally, the longer you play, the more likely it is to happen. The only thing I found which helped was to wait at least ten seconds between my last save (of any kind, including autosave on wait/changing cells etc) and quitting.

I'm playing with Pahncrd's mod on Win7-x64 and haven't really noticed this bug, I have had the occasional crash and did have a corrupted a savegame but no real issue quitting the game that I can remember.
 
Fast Exit is the one I used to use: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22410

Needs OBSE.

I tried that one earlier, but couldn't get it working for some reason.

I put everything in the correct place as stated in the installation guides and also had to run the OBSE loader in admin mode else it'd crash. When it came to exiting the game it still took just as long as usual.

Does Pahncard's mod include OBSE or anything? I'm guessing the guy that made the mod probably put a fix in there somewhere considering the size of the mod.

Looks like it does load correctly, but then can't find my save game with the .obse extension :confused::
