I've started having a strange problem yesterday, even though I didn't change anything from when I played last. When I load a save game now, It starts off normally and I can see my character and everything, but when I get Oblivion XP's initialization message, a fireball effect appears on my character randomly and my XP goes up extremely fast and doesn't stop, just keeps dinging like that forever, my level continually going up and after around 5 seconds after load, the entire screen turns a solid gray and I can see the HUD but nothing else. I can still see the landscape and my character when I go into a menu, but otherwise I have no visibility. When I try to use the level up to try and end it, my attributes are normal but all my skills are equated to 60 and cannot be changed.

New games seem to work ok, and now I'm wondering if it could be because I forgot to make a clean save when I switched from Deadly Reflex 5 to 6, because I tried making a new game before then, and it seemed the XP wasn't working completely properly as my character had a blank space where his level should be in the character screen and the old deadly reflex messages had come up, but after it now works fine.

Is there any way I can salvage my previous game saves? I already got to level 15 with that character and it would be a shame to have to start over now.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,
Leold

EDIT: Oops, actually was able to solve now by going to a save from a long while back, but still near the same level. I
I'll leave the report open, not sure if it might reoccur with this save but I'm definintely making quite a few saves here just in case. Otherwise, thread can be locked.
