Been playing Oblivion for many years now, had this problem way back when, forgot about it, reinstalled recently and its starting again, basically:

there is a random point in the character's progression (it really seems random, recreated several characters and did different quest paths/main story paths, etc) that any crafted (potions), created (spells created using the spellmaking altars) enchanted (both using the enchanting altars and using the sigil stones) , or altered items (like putting items in chests) were upon saving, closing the game and restarting, the items, potions, and spells are now gone, as in never there. all ingredients used to make them are also gone.

running the game as or not as administrator makes no difference, and its not happening on new characters, just at some point it starts happening, and is stuck like that.


OS, w7


so frustrating.


ideas?

Well, what is your game version? Somewhat sounds like http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Shivering:Reference_Bug.

hmm i had the 1.2.0416 for oblivion but not the 1.2.4016 for shivering isles, if that makes any difference, will try that and see if it helps.
