Hi All

I decided to replay Oblivion after long time and I have just installed it with several mods. My problem is….the .esp files of the mods below crash the game when i exit the game and this reset my audio and video configurations. I have to open the device manager every time to close the game manually.

Sutch Reborn
A Sorceress Love
Akatosh Mount
Alchemists Cave
Artefacts of the Ancestors
Bartholm
Blood In The Night
Castle Of Night
Cybiades
Eyja
Five Blind Mice
Official Knights Of The Nine
Legion Faction

I added lots of mods to the game and the total volume of the game folder is around 27 GB. I want to learn if there is a way to fix these crashes + configuration resets when exiting the game. I am playing in a laptop which have i3 2.13 Ghz CPU and Ati 5650 GPU.

Thanks

This is a very common engine bug associated with dirty edits deleted references in an ESP, everyone has run into it at some time.

Use http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=22410 to fix the problem (requires OBSE).

How do you know it is just those mods you list?

List your entire load order.

What operating system?

If it is just the usual crash on exit that plagues Oblivion, there is Fast Exit 2 you can download at Nexus.

I controlled all the esp files one by one and after unchecking the files i listed, the game didn't crashed on exit. My operating system is Win7 64 bit and in order to prevent any compatibility problem the game is running at XP SP2 compatibility mode.


I will try Fast Exit 2, thanks

And here I thought that crashing on exit was a sign showing you that you were using at least the recommended minimum number of mods. Before FastExit2 came along, of course. Now it's just a sign showing you're not using FastExit2.

I wish there was a program that kept the focus on the W7 program close window when there is a crash. It is annoying to have to alt tab to it, then hit enter.

Fast Exit 2 really works, no more crash on exits

Thanks for all the comments

Have a nice day

As if the game crash isn't annoying enough, that you need another annoyance!:) Personally, I'd prefer a program to make it not crash in the first place! :hubbahubba: think alt-tabbing is OK, and another program to do that small lil' task is a belts-and-suspenders kind of thing!

It's actually from deleted records which are in conflict, not dirty edits. Either way it's annoying that the engine bothers to try and clean up its memory like that when it's been told to quit anyway.

I stand corrected... :rolleyes:

This is why modders should never delete any vanilla references in their mods. If you don't want an item to appear, bury it. Drop it down below the ground level so that it still exists within the game but is no longer visible or accessible. For items that aren't vanilla, you're better off using TES4 Edit or opening up the Details window when loading the mod and removing it that way. Sometimes just deleting an item in the CS itself doesn't clear it from the mod, and there is still a record of it left behind.
