Ambient dungeons -> game won't load : IV

» Fri May 13, 2011 7:27 am

My game won't load with Ambient Dungeons activated. It just freezes at the initial loading screen when you first load Oblivion. Why? Here's my load order:

Sounds like your missing a master, usually an ESM or another ESP. that needs to be active for the mod to run.

I don't know anything about that mod, but I bet someone else do.

I'm running the latest version of OBGE. The one you download from the OBGE OP.

IIRC, you also need You Are Here.

» Fri May 13, 2011 4:41 pm

Yeah, I have You Are Here. The readme says it doesn't need Screen Effects anymore. So I don't need that.

» Fri May 13, 2011 11:45 am

It's not Ambient Dungeons that's causing the game to freeze, it's You Are Here. I wonder why?

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:04 pm

It's a load order thing. BOSS places YAH right below Oblivion.esm, and from what little testing I did, it appears to have an issue with FCOM_Convergence.esm. Load YAH below FCOM and all is good. I'm tempted to find out why that is the case...

» Fri May 13, 2011 11:29 am

I systematically went through and removed each record in YAH one by one, and nothing helped. So I don't know... Before FCOM no good; after FCOM good.

That's weird. I have no problems loading the game with YAH loading before FCOM_Convergence.esm, e.g. as BOSS places it. Not an expert, but I can't see how they would conflict either as FCOM_Convergence.esm doesn't touch any of the YAH records.

» Fri May 13, 2011 9:03 pm

Hm, interesting. I don't know why FCOM is giving me problems, but it sure is.

» Fri May 13, 2011 9:35 am

Hm, interesting. I don't know why FCOM is giving me problems, but it sure is.

If you can't find a solution to your problem I suggest you get Let there be darkness
Might want to tangle with the Oblivion.ini however back it up before you do anything
I would say that YAH is causing a problem not FCOM unless you didn't set up FCOM correctly?

Yeah, I misspoke. FCOM probably isn't the problem. I'm sure it's YAH. I don't know why though. YAH only has like 6 records.

» Fri May 13, 2011 6:55 pm

Wait when does your game freeze exactly? Wait forget what I said I don't know what to say I used ambient dungeons a while ago with FCOM and it didn't really bother me...

» Fri May 13, 2011 5:18 pm

It was freezing at the initial load screen when you first fire up Oblivion. I just merged YAH and Ambient Dungeons, then removed the dependency on YAH.
