I have recently installed Oblivion again, 2 years after my first playing. My problem is,,,, I am having random crashes while playing in different places of the game after playing for some time. I use SI, unofficial patch 3.2.0, OOO and lots mods. In order to improve the perforance I use latest OBSE, BOSS, Fast Exit and Streamline. Streamline reduced the crashes but didn't completly solved the problem. I am using a laptop which has I3 330M @2.13 Ghz + Ati 5650 and my OS is Win7 64 bit. It can score 13600 points at 3DMark05 at 1024x768 resolution.
I guess the reason for random crashes is insufficent memory. As you know this game can only address 2 GB and Win7 normally uses around 900 MB which leaves only 1.1 GB ram to the game . My laptop has 3 GB ram and in order to use all of these rams i tried 3GB Enabler program. However, after modifying the Oblivion.exe file of the game, it crashes if i want to reload a previous save when i die. When i played this game for the first time with XP, i never had crash problems with a PC which can only score 5000 points at 3DMark05 test and have 2 GB ram
My question is,,,, is there way to enable the game address more than 2 GB without having reload problem during game when my char die or when i need to load a previous save. I hope using XP is not the best solution...
Thanks
