Help installing Wrye Bash...

[Dreamer102]

Greetings,

    I've tried installing this supposed utility so that I can recover/fix my 86-hour savegame and not have to start a new character again (3rd time crashing at 86-94 hours in-game...grrr). I don't know if it's a mod that is dying everytime it gets around this point or if it's my pc hardware. I can run the game loaded down with mods without lag, error or issue until it gets to 86-94 hours in-game, then it just lags and starts to crash. With every crash it gives me less and less time in-game until it I get to crashing at 10 seconds in-game consistently.

I heard that Wrye Bash has utilities that can fix your savegame bloat and/or fix any mod conflicts you have, however...I cannot get this thing installed for the life of me. I've tried it 5 times and something is always wrong with that damnable Python system that keeps WRYe from starting.

Does anyone have a guide or packaged installer that I can use to get this installed in my system so that I can play Oblivion again?

:-\

Thanks,

Dm

I'm using the Bèta stand-alone version, found here

Not VORB-compatible though, so I'll probably switch to the python version later on.

The stand-alone version is an installer, which doesn't require Python to run Wyre.

Hope this helps.

That's weird. When I tried the installer version from tesnexus, it said I didn't have any of the python requirements then proceeded to hassle me to give the installer the location for all 5 missing python components. Since there was no documentation with the installer, I killed its process, deleted the installer, punched the computer and went to bed.

I will have to try it again and see if it works after bypassing all the stupid prompts for the stinking python software.

You need the Bèta, which is in optional files. That one does not rely on Python, whereas the basic one does

Ah ha!!

You da man! I will try the beta tonight. Hopefully Wrye can fix my install and save game. I really don't want to start over again...

ok, I installed it and followed the instructions on this page to make a new "Bashed Patch...whatever that is...  http://broblivion.blogspot.com/2010/01/very-basics-of-wrye-bash.html

I also used it to fix my savegame and remove bloat and abomb.
