Bethesda screen CTD - One Mod, Oblivion.esm as Master : IV

» Wed Dec 22, 2010 12:33 am

I'm getting a Bethesda Screen CTD. I know this is usually associated with missing Masters, but right now I have only one Mod loaded-- my own, which has only one master, that being Oblivion.esm, which is checked and present. The mod was working fine earlier today, but is now not loading at all, regardless of whether I am using OBSE or not.

Does anyone have any idea what could cause this?

Have you tried regenerating the Oblivion.ini file? Have you installed any codecs are audio card-related software recently?

Yeah-- just tried the .ini thing, did not help

No new Codecs, either.

However, opening the Mod in the CS and saving it a few times seems to have resovled the issue at the moment-- although I seem to still be getting intermitten CTDs on loading a New Game right now

So my issue seems to have half-solved itself.

Saving Oblivion.esm...? Did you modify it at some point? What is your setup, by the way? (and it might be helpful to have this moved to the Hardware and Software issues thread, if the problem is persistent without any mods.)

Edit: Try running the game after a clean boot as well.

Edit: ...and be sure to test with new saves, maybe even a new save profile (if testing with OBSE.)

No, sorry-- I meant saving the Mod again. I'd been working on it earlier, and it was fine. Shut down, came back to the PC, and it was glitching-- saving a few times seems to have fixed it

It worked fine without Mods, hence why I posted it here (it seemed more a Mod-y issue than a CS issue, as it was doing the Missing Master behaviour, rather than Mod-making behaviour).

'fraid I'm not sure of my set-up off the top of my head :S My PC is about three months old, pretty good specifications-- can play Oblivion fine, even on high-settings/lots of Mods; as I say, it seems to have been a CS/saving error... Perculiar.

Yeah, a clean-boot would be a good idea-- make sure it's not still playing up

Oooh, your mod. I misread. Have you checked it out with TES4Edit, and re-saving with the CS may definitely help? Keep your eye on the OBSE dependency too (if it contains any scripts.)
