Right well topic title pretty much says it all. Ummm.... I just re-installed Oblivion and everything, so I can't just Load a game. (Yeah, I know I install and re-install Oblivion a lot)

Basically, I click on New Game, it asks me if I want to start a New Game and I click "Yes", then absolutely nothing happens. Absolutely nothing.

I'm looking in Wrye Bash here, and all of my plug-ins are green actually Deadly Reflex 5 combat moves.esp is orange, it still doesn't say missing master though. And yes, I have the hotfix or whatever. Nothing has a missing master, so I really don't know what the deal is. I bet you if I deleted my .ini file, it would work, but that then means DarnUI is rendered useless, because it's ini changes are gone then. Last time I deleted the .ini file while DarnUI was active, it really caused some problems in my game. I really don't wanna go through that again..... :meh:

Double post, yea, but I managed to get it past the "Start New Game?" portion. I rebuilt my bashed patch. Now, however, once I click new game, it goes to the loading screen for about one second, then CTD's. :facepalm:

I swear, I get worse and worse and using mods everyday. And yea, WTH am I doing wrong now? What do you guys want, a load order or something? Much good it will do..... but here ya go anyways.

I had the same problem myself and now my game keeps freezing and crashing don't know why :S
Have you perhaps forgotten to update Deadly Reflexes?

I'm not familiar with many of your mods, so what I say now is pure supposition. Looks to me like you need to re-read your read-mes and make sure that you don't have alternate ESPs for the same mod loaded. This looks particularly suspicious:

Natural_Vegetation_by_Max_Tael.esp
Natural_Vegetation_200%_by_Max_Tael.esp

Are these complementary? Or are they rather alternatives of which only one should be used? I again stress that I'm guessing. But it's worth a look-see, for this and your other mods as well.

Good luck!
-Decrepit

Nice and simple if you want to find if it's your ini file that's causing the problems.
Disable all mods and fire up with only the Oblivion esm active. If it wont load you'll have no choice but creating a new one.
If it does load, well, I'm sure your aware of the adding a couple at a time procedure and doing it by elimination.

Yeah but how do you deal with freezing?

Well the culprit seems to be CM Companion mod. At first, I installed it using the OMOD ready version. Didn't work. I read the readme, and adjusted my load order with only the .esp .esm and one of the extra NPC's only. Just like the read me said. Didn't work.

I then DLed the manual install version, tried the same process, didn't work. Now that I have removed CM companion, the game runs. I had this same problem with CM Companion not but 5 days ago, that time I was able to get it to work by just selecting the .esp .esm and one of the "extras" as stated in the read-me. Now I just can't get it to work at all. :shrug:

Why can't I get CM Companion to work? I'd really like to figure this out here..... Hmmmm... Anyone got any possible insight?



Running latest OBSE and OBMM? Do you have a Bashed Patch? For the sake of you not having to post a whole new thread, why don't you post up a load order in here?

How do i post the load order like you do?

I actually have no idea how my code box started using the scroll bar, instead of being all long like yours. Seriously. It just kinda started happening one day. :blink:

But hmmm.... you should look up BOSS on TESNexus and give that whirl. That might help. Then again, I don't know how well that works with FCOM. May I suggest, as crappy as it sounds, to read through the FCOM readme, specifically the part about Load Order.

EDIT: When copying your load order, are you clicking on Import/Export then View Load Order in OBMM?

I do it over wrye bash and i use BOSS -_-
Anyways started a new game to see if it will work because i can't load the last save without game crashing

Well your gonna need to provide some more details here. IDK. Read the readmes man, that's the only thing I can really say.

Anywho, back onto the topic at hand. Why can't I seem to get CM Companion to work? Both manual install and OMOD install just haven't worked. :brokencomputer: :brokencomputer:

Just get Toaster's Companion Share and recruit and if you have T.I.E. you can find many npc's to recruit and most of them were made to be recruited
Try it, i'm not a fan to those CM Companion mods however i wouldn't install it by OBMM
I have been playing the new game so far and no crashes or freezes at all for now...

What's T.I.E. stand for? I've been looking for alternative Companion mods, but they all just seem to be CM mods. Damnit. :banghead:

Make sure you have the hotfix for DR5, the original 5.0 combat moves esp had a freezing bug. The link is posted in the Tesnexus mod description.

Just search the local topics you will find it...

Never mind. [censored] it. If I can get Oblivion to work without DR5, then well that's the way it's going to be. I appreciate the effort you have put into you mod and all, but it just doesn't work, even when following YOUR specified install instructions. Thanks. :byebye:

oh and I even got CM Companions to work now!! All that is holding me up is DR5. So yea.

Just for clarity's sake:

DR5 does work. It works for many people. Sorry you're having problems.

gothemasticator

I realize it works for many people, that is why this is so frustrating. I'm still fiddling with it, for example, I just started up a new game, created a character and such walked around for a while, then saved it. I'm gonna try installing DR now, maybe that will change something. :shrug:

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU. Argh. This is just messed up. DR hates me. Just re-downloaded and re-installed, nothing. The game crashed now. Well. I would have really liked to use DR, but apparently it's incompatible with something, or it just hates me as a person. :cold: *Sigh* I just PMed Skycaptain, seeing how really no one can offer any advice here, besides "it works fine" Hopefully he has something to say regarding this. :shrug:

Is one of my mods incompatible or something? this is my load order right now, and the game works. As soon as I add in DR5, CTD.

http://rs522.rapidshare.com/files/155310579/DR5_0_testfix.zip
This might help

Downloaded, Extracted, Checked, Fired it up, CTD. Thanks anyways though, but didn't exactly work.

Sort of a dumb question, but have you tried loading different saves or tried starting a new game to see if the CTD persists?
May be worth cleaning the save with Wrye Bash too.

It's been a while since I've used DR, but I remember past versions used to require new games to start from.

Well I just have one save, of me playing for about 15 minutes. I loaded that up, and CTDed. I'll try firing up a new game with that new hotfix zone22 provided.

Nope. Fired up a New Game, and the same old no response to that is happening. I give up.

This is just ridiculous, DR5 just doesn't work with my system. That's the only explanation.

Try backing up your Oblivion.ini file and delete it out of the directory so that Oblivion will create a new one.
Not sure if anyone has suggested that yet, but it's worth a shot.

Only other suggestion I can think of would be to delete your bashed patch and then go into the Mopy\Extras location to copy a new bashed patch into your Oblivion\Data folder and then recreate your bashed patch.

If others haven't suggested yet, try loading the game without a bashed patch just to narrow the issue down to whether or not your current bashed patch has some conlifcts.
