How often does your Oblivion crash?

[RandomOne]

Size is not necessarily relevant to performance as Movomo correctly stated.  It depends far more on what you have installed than "how much".  Mine is sitting at 80.2 GB at the moment and I get 60+ FPS everywhere but the waterfront.  Then it drops to 45 FPS or so, when there are lots of NPC's are wandering about.

 

I couldn't help but notice you are not using your BU armour compilations in your load order.

[gregathit]

Actually I am indeed.  I haven't posted an update of my load order since I made the 1st BU armor pack. 

 

Just for the record it is placed just above my better cities plugins.  There is no reason it is in this location, that is just where I happened to stick it.  It will run just fine higher up in your load order (which I recommend just cause there is no reason to have it lower).

 

Part of the reason my install is sitting at 80+ gigs is that armor pack and its textures....

Other contributors are Better Cities with Qarl's Textures, OOO, Elsweyr Anequina, MBP and MBP++, XeoSP++, Order of the Virtuous Blood, Origin of the Mages Guild, Kvatch Aftermath, setbody, ZU amber madness overhaul, tons of customized armors which I loaded into its own esp (done so I know there are no dirty edits or conflicts) and Colourwheels overhaul.   The size of my game will grow by probably another 5 gig when I finally get around to making and then releasing BU armor pack 3.

hehe I knew I could get you to mention pack 3 without pestering you

I'm running about 200 mods, and I rarely crash. Unfortunately, my frame rate's not so great. I'm not certain what in particular is hitting my performance, but my average FPS rests between 25-30 frames. Which is tolerable, for me, but when it dips into the low 20s and under, not so much. It's not my PC, because I run Skyrim with a considerably better framerate. Although Skyrim has crashed on me way more than Oblivion ever has. xD

[E.L. Palmer]

30- to 8 minutes. I have Core i5, 64bit, 6g ram, 500g hard drive, game in C drive. Even when the game is set to comparability, the Event Viewer always show Oblivion.exe as the culprit.

[wtfzz]

Only crashes sometimes when I switch quickly between all the hundreds or hairs or eyes in the race menu. Everything else is fine.

[llab]

Not at all so far. I've reinstalled with lovers + TIE rather than usual fcom/cobl.

 

And I'm getting 60fps (vsync) mostly!

 

Seems like fcom/cobl and lovers hate each other, and lovers mods are more stable than last time I played. Bit of both.

 

Oh and CM partners is 'the devil' I agree with poster on previous page. Glad to have found MCS on this forum.

Does a crash on exiting the game count...?

[gregathit]

Not really. 

 

You can eliminate that with an OBSE dll plugin: http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/22410

That will make those go bye bye.

[sroro]

My current install is 15gb (TIE, BC, tons of gameplay mods, some prettifiers, some custom stuff) crashes around 3-5hrs in normal play and 1-3hrs if I'm hanging out just in the IC. I have my fps capped at 30 its usually that unless I'm in IC midday (like 14-17 fps lol) or in a fight with like 10+ npcs.

Oblivion.exe CTD has devolved to 4 minutes, so I uninstalled it, deleted everything. I doubt that I will ever buy any more Bethesda products if they make nothing but malfunctioning products.

[sisgood]

Skyrim crashed so much that I have uninstalled it and am working on collecting "essential" mods to start a new Oblivion game with. I felt it was beyond stupid that I couldn't even CHOOSE TO BE FEMALE on some new games without it crashing. And God forbid I try to switch hairs. 

 

Anywho, until Beth pulls their heads out of their collective asses, I will be playing the much more stable Oblivion.

Actually, I think the game works fine - no thanks to Bethesda though.

 

Current install on an ancient 1.86GH Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM and a crappy ATI 6450 1GB video card:

 

Not one crash in over 100 hours of gameplay. Not even one little "ding". I learned the hard way that it is much better to install one plugin at a time and play the game for awhile than to dump a dozen plugins into my Data folder and hope for the best. Every plugin you install is like playing Russian Roulette. The more plugins you add, the more bullets there are in the chambers.

 

Only just over 100 mods now, but I add one or two every day.

My problem is that I now have an "elastic band" effect with the camera. I have it set up so my mouse spins the screen REALLY fast, but the camera takes its sweet time catching up. E.g. If I do a very quick 180 degree turn, the camera instantly points where I am aiming, but then it SNAPS BACK to the original position and SLOWLY pans across the scenery while my little toon gets the living crap beaten out of her.

 

Disorienting and more than a little nauseating.

i gotta say, blaming Bethesda is a very poor attitude, because the second you add a mod or anything that they didn't include with the game, it stops being their problem, since your adding content not created by them in any way, if that breaks something it's not their game "malfunctioning".

 

that's like blaming Microsoft because you shoved a fork in your Xbox disc tray and it broke the console, Microsoft has nothing to do with the fork, nor did they tell you to put it in there.

 

you made the decision to mod your game, if it broke its your fault, not theirs.

 

 

[sisgood]

With most games I would agree with you. However, Beth KNOWS that the reason they get so many sales is because people just love to mod their games. I'm not saying that they should make it so that every mod works all the time, that's impossible. But they SHOULD contact some of the more well known modders out there, HIRE them on a temp basis, and let them make a few mods for the game. CTD every time I try to go to showracemenu in Skyrim is just nutz. Oblivion is fine. It's stable enough that - as long as you TEST EVERY MOD AND BACK UP YOUR SHIT you'll be OK. 

 

Skyrim... no. Just no. If it wasn't for all that Steam ID crap I'd have sold my copy by now. And I am NEVER getting another game for computer that hasn't been out for at least a year!

[kingkong]

i do not understand why you are whinging on oblivion.exe ?  or skyrim.exe ?

when you play without any mod it does not crash even once !  

 

The more you add mods the more it can crash they are conflicting where the load order is important. (boss)

Seconde some mods uses bad scripts that can crash or create problemes(i have one in mind).

Third you need to pic up some tools and adjust the mods by arranging the esp to get less conflicts as there is so many of them !

 

all this to say  the more you load mods the more you must use your brain to fit all in oblivion /skyrim  and with the first crash you must ask your self  " WHERE DID I GO WRONG ?" WHAT CAN I DO ?" WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ? " and not to be LAZY

 

SORRY IF I OFFENDED ANYONE  but it's annoying

[TheoryoftheDead]

Most of the times I can play my Oblivion sessions without crashing once(These are usually around 2 hours). In the few instances where I do crash, it's usually due to excessive loading or during a very crowded fight(I'm currently not using the 4gig memory fix)

As for the mods I've got installed, It's pretty much just some armor replacers, races and a couple of lovers mods with associated requirements.
