Oblivion freezes before reaching main menu

Post » Fri Mar 21, 2014 8:54 pm

So today I tried to start up Oblivion, but it can't make it to the main menu without freezing. I've recently ran TES4lodgen, TES4ll, BOSS, TES4Edit (to clean Knights.esp and ReclaimSancreTor). I had the unofficial patches installed from a while back, and decided to run the latest exe files. (could that have caused an issue? should I have uninstalled the patches before installing the latest versions?) I've also updated OBSE to it's latest version. I ran BOSS and it didn't find any outstanding errors, in fact everything seemed to be correct.

below is my load order

It's been so long since I've played Oblivion, it's possible I'm just forgetting something stupid, but I'm not sure. I've also installed Alternate Start and used the BAIN method to overwrite and install all the Unique Landscapes (apparently I had installed them manually before). I know that this game worked properly a week ago, but I'm not exactly sure what I messed up, I thought I was pretty thorough and careful.
I have DarkUI'd DarN 1.6 By Gothic251 (the OMOD version)
I tried putting the default LOD back, after I ran TES4ll, but that didn't help. I've tried disabling EVGA software and Steam.
Ideas? I was really hoping to celebrate the game's 8th birthday with some gaming tonight
