When I start it, I get the startup menu with options like play, data files, etc. and when I hit play, the game crashes with no error message.
After some investigation, I tried fixing it by setting bMusicEnabled=0 in Oblivion.ini This worked, and I was able to get the main menu, which I closed right away. However, I have not been able to start Oblivion since then, regardless of the .ini settings.
I have no idea why it could have worked once and then stopped. Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
