game crashing while saving : IV

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 11:19 pm

Hey everyone,

Like the title of this topic says, I have a really weird problem. Everytime i try to save my game, the game crashes. it runs smooth while playing (i've just played for over an hour without saving) but when i hit my F5 button to quicksave, the game crashes and the made save file is corrupt, so can't use it... when saving the usual way with menu->save the save file is not corrupt, but the game crashes directly after i return to game...
here's my LO:

From http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Technical_Support#Saving_Problems:

Problem
When I attempt to load my game I get the message "This save game is corrupt", How do I fix it?
Cause
Unknown, this can happen at random times, usually after a CTD.
Solution
In the My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves folder, rename the quicksave.bak to quicksave.ess and overwrite the original quicksave.ess file. This will set you back in time a bit (could be up to 5 minutes of play time) but you will keep your game. Don't forget to make named saves often.

-------------

I'd also suggest using Streamline for the Streamsave feature, which has more stable streamsaves (instead of using quicksave).

Don't use Oblivion's quicksave function, it's busted. Use normal saves instead.

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 10:19 pm

ok i can do that, but everytime i save (even normal saves) the game CTDs...

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 9:56 am

I posted about this a week or two ago.

I had to go back some saves, pcb may have helped. Dunno.

I now use a pcb mod. Streamline has this function but I don't know if it helps or makes things worse. My Streamsaves got to the point where every or almost every time a Ss went off I would crash.

already tried that. even started a new game...

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 2:04 pm

Well I no longer have it so maybe pcb helps.
Defrag? Could be corrupt file somewhere?

If you use Steam version use file integrity check.

what's pcb?

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 7:29 pm

The console command "best used while inside", Purge Cell Buffers.

Ss has the function in it but I use Qarn's PCB mod and set my frequency to 3 loads using the loading esp version.

You could search for my posts about crashing on saving and see what people said.

Are you, by any chance, running OBGEv2?

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 9:59 pm

Are you, by any chance, running OBGEv2?

yes i am, why? does that cause the trouble?

» Sun Feb 06, 2011 1:04 am

I use http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=30054 since Realistic Fatigue, etc required it.

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 5:36 pm

can anyone plz tell if it's obgev2 that's causing my game to crash?

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 9:56 pm

No one can know. The only way you can narrow it down is to install/uninstall one mod at a time and test.

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 6:50 pm

Try disabling saving in the OBGEv2 .ini. See if that helps.

» Sat Feb 05, 2011 1:57 pm

Had exactly the same problem once. The reason was the buttload of items i was carrying. Throwing out about 20 of them or so allowed me to save normally. Too many keys are easily fixed, too.
