Hello there

So I've newly installed Oblivion again, for the 100th time, or so :goodjob:

And I have this problem with the trap effects of OOO. I can pick a lock and get the trap effects of almost all containers, but there is one, in Vilverine, which is the only dungeon I've visited at the moment, as I've started a new game. I've come to the part were I have 6 activators, it opens stone walls down the corridor and skeletons occur, and the last one opens a wall were a chest is revieled behind, that chest, contains the key to the door to continue to the next area, but... the trap effect that throws a fiery bolt at me, shuts Oblivion down, I can start the game again, and try once more, and get the lightening effect on me, that one kills me, but the fiery bolt shuts the game down. Anyone that have knowledge of this, how is it fixed?

Additional info: I did not instal the trap effect misc addon with the OOO installer, maybe that has something to do with it?

Kind regards Zanctillia^^

I believe that's a bug related to the vanilla UI.
You must use an user interface that corrects the numeric values of effects that show up.

DarnUI fixes it. There are also other UI's that fix it.

Try the instant trap effects add-on. It was created to deal with crashes some people were having from the delayed effect traps.

If that doesn't work, you may have to cheat your way past it.

I think I remember now how it is fixed, I can either as you say, install OOO again with Instant Trap Effects, but... may I do that now, just run the exe and reinstall, without problems?

Or, I can reinstall Immersive interface and install with bars and not numeric countdowns on spells.

Are you using an old version of DarN's UI (or other modded UI)? This was an issue with having the effect timer displayed in numbers vs. OOO's trap effects. Should work with the latest DarN's UI IIRC. Otherwise, use the OOO-Container_Trap_Instant_Effects as said.

Oh okay, may I install Instant Trap Effects without running the whole install again, or should I just do that?

No need to reinstall OOO, just use the OOO-Container_Trap_Instant_Effects.esp. But check which version of any modded UI you are using.
