Getting mysterious crashes, can anyone help?

Post » Tue Feb 16, 2016 5:38 am

Hey, I've been looking for a fix for some issues I've been having, with no luck, so I've decided to turn here. Ever since I've reinstalled Oblivion (Steam version) and modded it to my liking, it's oddly started creating freezes and black screens after the third or fourth save. With some previous mod setups the bugs where starting in the cells around Kvatch, but now I'm relatively certain it starts after a couple saves.



Problems are random freezing during regular play and blackscreens during fast travel. The game doesn't CTD in either case, but even though Task Manager says Oblivion is still using CPU, it's unresponsive and I have to end its process. These problems are, as you can imagine, quite detrimental to enjoying a modded game, so I was hoping someone could help me out with fixing it.



Due to my being relatively new to this, I can't figure out how to find the load order like I've seen on some other threads, so I'll have to put it in a spoiler until I know how:

Assuming the forum thinks of that as a list rather than a wall of text, that is my load order. All mods are installed with OBMM, sorted with BOSS, and the Bashed Patch is done with CBash.

Could you deactivate UVIII.esp for a while and see if the problem persists? Also, do use Oblivion Reloaded (it has a nice memory purger and other things). Apply 4GB patch as well. If you use 2k textures, use 1k instead.

Deactivating UVIII fixed it, which is kinda unfortunate. It's the only mod I've found that both has a good item-throwing mechanic and isn't buggy and abandoned (looking at you, Deadly Reflex 6).
