» Mon Nov 12, 2012 7:36 am Game loads up fine. Start a new game, and the intro plays fine. When the intro ends, you get change in sound (you hear either the sound of the ship, or a torch burning, can't figure out which), a quick load bar, and then then main menu music. The cursor finally appears but pulsates, fading in and out. The screen is otherwise completely black, save for the FPS counter in the upper left, which reads 250. No other sounds play - no Jiub, no boat sounds, nothing. It stays in this state perpetually. If you alt tab out of the game it will sit quietly on your taskbar. If you Ctrl Alt Del out of the game, it'll crash.
So I spent some time rooting out a few various problems I had (errors related to NOM and COM kept sounding off, so I rid myself of those two mods and their patches completely) as well as a few other things, like deactivating my Whitewolf esp since you don't need it and the esm). All the different errors went away, but no change on the black screen pulsating cursor front. I then began deactivating lots of my mods (carefully avoiding the mods added by the Graphic and Sound Overhaul), but this attempt to find out the culprit only lead to increased instability. Kept getting more and more errors, usually crashing before I could even test out whether or not the deactivation of mods had done anything. Very often the items were missing hairs or the like. Finally, by the time I had deactivated enough mods to only leave the esms and the esps starting with 'A' left, after a couple of errors I was able to finally start the game as usual. Except that the guard was missing textures for his ears. And that when I tried to enter the Census and Excise Office, the game immediately crashed, citing a missing animation or something.
So now...yeah, I'm stumped. I thought if I put this up someone might recognize the problem. Anywho, here's the load order:

Edit: I should also note that in the Wrye Mash installers tab, the following installer boxes are colored:
Yellow: abotBoats, Julan Ashlander Companion, The Neverhalls
Orange: RoHT, TR Sacred East
Also, on the load list, the icon for Poorly Placed Object Fix esm (from MGSO) is yellow, and it won't allow me to update the master (although this is really a MGSO problem, as was there after intially installing MGSO; no crash happened at that time). Wrye bash's error spew in the spoiler below.
