hi all.

it seems ridiculous to even start a thread about this, but it is costing me a lot of patience-points:

I did install the SI 1.2.0416 patch and related UOP in my (GOTY) Oblivion folder, installed other mods fine (OBMM_Extended_10-9-27_Installer, Skip Intro, DarNified_UI_132_OMOD-10763 and few others)... Placed the 3 files of OBSE under necessary Oblivion folder (ie followed readme), and when I start the obse_loader.exe I get a black screen and 5 sec later CTD.

Running on Windows 7.... ? any possible idea (besides a curse on me) ?

Worst is, i installed it a month ago without problems.... argh!

thx

Did you try running the game without using OBSE? If CTD still exist, try delete Oblivion.ini (you may want to make a backup) and enter the game.

1. Verify Darn's is installed correctly (all files/folders copied over to correct locations).
2. Disable any mods
3. Run the game with OBSE. If it doesn't crash you have a mod issue, not an OBSE issue. If it still crashes:
4. Run without OBSE. If it still crashes, you have a general install issue. If it doesn't crash:
5. Post the contents of obse_loader.log and/or obse.log found in your Oblivion folder, if they exist.

well - thx for the advice, and i opened the OBMM, unchecked everything except the patches and then proceeded to check one by one.

It ended up the the DraNified UI was scrooing things up, i guess.

but then, i have NO IDEA why the Skip Dungeon Intro does not work at all.

This is all just too exhausting , and apparently Oblivion and I have strong incompatibility issues.

sorry to rant... and thx again.

I didnt understand at the moment what u meant by 'log' but there actually is a "obse_loader.log" and it reads:

crc = 7934C86C
dll = C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\obse_1_2_416.dll
hookBase = 001D0000
loadLibraryAAddr = 76D94BC6
hook thread complete
launching oblivion

Then there also exists a "obse.log":

OBSE: initialize (version = 18.6 010201A0)
oblivion root = C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\
plugin directory = C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data\OBSE\Plugins\
patched

RenameGameHook: C:\Users\pdesbois\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves\autosave.ess -> C:\Users\pdesbois\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves\autosave.bak
renaming C:\Users\pdesbois\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves\autosave.obse -> C:\Users\pdesbois\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves\autosave.obse.bak
DoSaveGameHook: C:\Users\pdesbois\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves\autosave.ess
saving to C:\Users\pdesbois\Documents\My Games\Oblivion\Saves\autosave.obse
OBSE: deinitialize

I've no idea what this means... If anyone can help me understand, maybe i can give this game a 5th try [e.g.,i cannot understand why Skip Tutorial is NOT working, but was in my first installing 2 weeks ago].

PS: I dont know if this means anything, but since i am in Windows 7, i foudn another Oblivion folder under : users/pdesbois/AppData/local/Oblivion... a file called "Plugins" with this content:

# This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
# Use the oblivion launcher or obmm to choose which files you want.
# Please do not modify this file by hand.
