Unexplainable startup crash : IV

» Tue Aug 16, 2011 11:02 am

My setup was rock solid till an hour ago, haven't had a single crash in ages. Suddenly, with no appareant reason, after the last Steam client update I can't load the game anymore, it just stops at the game loading screen with the damn "Oblivion has stopped working" error. I didn't change nothing, nada, niente, nichts, and just in case I'm not entirely clear I DIDN'T CHANGE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I can't for the life of me figure out what the heck has happened to the game, it used to work like a charm. I did the painstaking "disable a bunch of ESPs" trick and I have maybe narrowed down the problem to a single ESP, namely Better daedric shrines Sheogorath.esp, which used to work flawlessly alongside every other ESPs for weeks. With that ESP disabled I can load the game till the main menu but I can't load any of my 800+ saves, neither the earlier ESS which have only oblivion.esm as their master, the game crashes after a few loading bar steps. Geez, I was so happy for having finally reached the most stable setup I had in ages and now I'm so frustrated I would just throw everything out of the window. What the heck is wrong with this game? Things can't just break this way with no user intervention at all, it's just not fair : /

Are any other Steam users in here who spotted some issues after the last client update?

My LO, for what it's worth:
