hi well i dont know if this is the correct place to put this in here but here it goes.

after some work im polishing my load order i have like 200 mods loaded on the game i know its a lot but im making the list shorter rigth now my game dont crash liek usually witht he waiting and all it just turn off with no explanation no error sign or anything i have no idea what causes this and any help or guidance will help a lot for your attention thanks.

If my game crashed with no error while I was just standing around the first thing I would do would be to check that the temperature of my cpu/gpu was okay.

If your saying it crashed when you where using the wait function then I don't think that would be related to a corrupt spawn or the problem I described in this thread. :shrug:

Interesting gude. I seen to get some random crashes out in thw wilderness for some reason. But im still not sure if they are corrupt spawns, because if i just go to the same place i got the crash, it doesnt crash anymore :shrug:

Great article. I am sure this was my problem a couple weeks back. I entered the gate at Kvatch but the game kept crashing at the same place, over and over. Since there was no place to go but forward, I ended up tearing my hair out and starting a new game.

Only problem is my new character is a slacker, avoids responsibility and fears Kvatch. Maybe with this info, he will discover his inner hero.

usually i get the ctd i describe when moving from one place to another not just standing the weird thing is random sometimes i can play 1 hour others 2 hours straight and some just 40 min rigth now im getting ther problem in the bruma area still ill check the temperature of my graphic card and see what happens
thanks for the help

Could be hardware overload. It's certainly the most common cause for *my* game to crash.

hi again well my card temp is around 51, 55?C max with oblivion im using a 280 nvidia card, im new to this but what you mean by hardware overload? how can i check about it?

thanks for the help

In my case suspect that is the video card being overworked. Normally the game starts stuttering more and more untill it crashes. But it takes 1-3 hours, and playing more than 1 hour at a time is not very healthy anyway...

This could have been a very frustrating problem if I'd not read this thread:

I just climbed up through a three tower oblivion gate and it was a rough fight all the way.

I get the sigil area pluck the prize - gates closes - ctd. again and again.

Thinking that maybe there was a corrupt spawn near the gate I ~coc testing hall and wait a day (respawn time in my game). Then go back to the gate - no ctd - fight my way back up (again) and get the sigil stone this time able to close the gate without ctd.

... now if I can just figure out why my character is taking no damage from falling at all. Hopefully he is not corrupt too. No enchantments on him - bare nekid - and he can jump off any height and land like it is nothing. All with an acrobatic score of 37.
It is handy and fun to watch - but now a cheat.

^Possible feather effect that doesn't show up for some reason?

I certainly found this thread useful... clued me into the usefulness of TES4Edit. I link to it when it seems appropriate.

Bump so this thread does not get purged too soon.

When this happens to me, I usually just wait until the spawnpoint resets (3 days gametime default) before entering that cell again (luckily I save a lot, so that helps as well). Not the most elegant solution, but works almost every time as the crash in that cell is gone.

Been lurking around getting the urge to play OB again... here's a bump for this useful thread. :twirl:
