I have run into an annoying problem with Oblivion 1.2.0416

While preparing to steal from a house, I pick the lock, enter the building and then immediately save.

I then go on to pick up some items for a few minutes -- and a guard suddenly appears, and I'm arrested!

Dangit. Well, let's reload and try that again.



Reload previous save.

The saved game loads, but Guards immediately appear, and I am immediately arrested though they didn't see me pick up anything!

Quit to menu. Load saved game. Guards immediately appear, and I am immediately arrested though they didn't see me pick up anything!

Quit to desktop. Load saved game. Guards immediately appear, and I am immediately arrested though they didn't see me pick up anything!

W.... T..... F???



Why do the guards instantly appear when the savegame is loaded? Originally when I saved the game, I had several minutes to loot the place before the guard appeared.


It's annoying enough for me to say "Game is borked internally" - Console, TGM, player.setcrimegold 0, TGM
