*official* Oblivion Thread - Technical issues

I want to know if everyone crashes when they shutdown the game. I rarely have a clean shutdown without it crashing at the very end with a partial black screen still visible.

On a better note I have had very few in game crashes (to desktop). Only about 2 or so with ~43 hours play time.

The game has yet to crash on me, whether in game or exiting. Actually, it did crash quite often once I installed some new memory, but *all* my games were crashing, so I blame it on the ram, not the game. I just switched the ram around in my DIMM slots, and all is fine now.

 

[BDawg]

I had a lot of problems (the memory could not be "read"), but they went away when I killed of HP processes as the troubleshooting FAQ on Elderscrolls.com said to.

P4@2.4GHz
1GB RAM (2700)
Radeon 9800 Pro

This is the best link ever!!! Thank you for posting it!

I was looking at the Tweak Guide and saw that they had some settings in the INI to improve performance for the Dual Core systems.

I have an Opteron 165 and would like to customize those INI settings to help utilize it. Anyone messed with those Dual core specific INI settings yet?

 

[Powermoloch]

I would hope that Bestheda add more better monsters and better enchanted items. The game get's pretty darn easy right after lvl 32 (well maybe) lol

If your game looks like it's frozen while loading try hitting the tab key once (just tab) and see if it continues loading. Works for me a lot!

I'll try it, but I doubt it'll work. Even the music stops so nothing is responding. About drivers, I actually did have system freeze issues when adjusting the brightness. So I updated my ATI drivers. The only other drivers I can think of are Realtek ones for my onboard sounds, I'll see how that goes. **Scratch that, just checked, and the most recent seem to be from 2 years ago (August 2004). Board came out 2005, so I'm guessing that's what was on the disk.

 

[The J]

I also get the crash on exit problem. I don't get it all the time, though, only when I've been playing a while. I have 1GB of PC2700 RAM and the rest of my specs should be in the link in my sig. I've found that the game crashes always if the peak commit charge (as stated in the Task Manager) exceeds 1GB; in other words, when the game/system needs to hit the pagefile. The game does not crash if the commit charge is below 1GB (usually aroung 800-900MB).

The highest peak memory usage I've seen so far is about 1.5GB after playing for a couple of hours, so it can hit the pagefile hard.

 

[EpsiIon]

I had an issue and a thread that was locked before this one was created and I found the solution to my problem, so I thought I'd post it here:

Problem:

During the opening cut scene, the image is obviously tiled and laggy. The top third of the screen seems to be displaying properly (and at a solid framerate), but about half way through the middle of the screen, you can start to see tiled square blocks that lag behind the top of the video. They update somewhat regularly (and pretty obviously from left to right and top to bottom) and more-slowly during very "busy" video.

I might have attributed this to a less-than-stellar system, except that I exceed all of the minimum requirements AND there's no tiling on the character creation screen. I tried changing resolutions but got the EXACT same behavior (same tile refresh delays, even), so I'm pretty sure this is a bug and not a performance issue.

Solution: Enable AGP Fastwrites in your BIOS.

 

[skace]

AGP Fastwrite is disabled for many people for good reason . Just make sure you watch your system for any instability after enabling it because it used to cause lots of machines to crash for whatever reason.

 

[PingSpike]

I for one am glad to see the death of AGP fastwrites as an option with PCIe. I could never get a clear cut answer on whether it should be used or not. And don't even get me started on aperture size...what should be? I've heard half the vram, twice the vram, the lowest setting in the bios, etc.

I honestly have had no real problems with oblivion on either my or my wife's machine. I've had it CTD a few times on each of them, but the autosaves never set us to far behind. It closes fine on both. And one time I lost video and the monitor went into standby. I'm still unsure if thats a problem on my end...there was a huge thread over on elderscrolls forums where tons of people had it happen to them pretty frequently...but I didn't think a programming error could cause something like that, only a hardware issue.

The most annoying issue is that occasionally after a long play session framerates start to get bad, restarting fixes it. Seems like a memory leak or something.

Yeah. My framerates seem to drop significantly when I play for about 3 hours. I have 2GB of RAM, and Oblivion doesn't seem to use up very much of it. A restart fixes it for me too, but I hope they can release a patch soon.

 

[gizbug]

How would this game run on an ASUS v6j laptop?

ntel Pentium-M T2300 Yonah (1.66Ghz; 667mhz w/ 2mb Cache) w/ 1gig ram

 

[CHfan4ever]

My little guide on how i fix "things" with my system.Oblivion run at 20-40 fps outside with grass and lots of option set to high.And for sure it run flawless inside dungeons.I run the game in widescreen 1088 x612,HDR ON,Anisotropic 4x on my card.Graphic quality on my card setting set to quality.Vsync OFF.I have installed a "better looking water" mod and a mod that make the texture far away look better.

Athlon 64 3200
1 gig of ram 333mhz
6800gt 256 meg

1-crash problem:So a search for a file or folder for the file name "mpeg2dmx.ax".Once you find this file, rename it to "mpeg2dmx.ax.old".For me it totally fix my crashing problems. I found this info on eldercrolls forums.

2-Download the 84.25 forceware beta driver( sorry ati cannot help you out).I found them at guru3d.com.Before installing them, UNNINSTALL your old drivers.

3-Enable coolbit( do a google search for coolbits.Download and install

4-Go to your videocard option and go to additional direct3d settings.Set MAX fram to 0.Might cause some graphic glitch in some other games...revert to default if you need to play other games...

5-Here is a copy n paste of my ini file.Note that for my control i have replace the TAB button by the BACKSPACE button for option access.

Anyone know why I can't have HDR on at all with my X850XTPE? Is it just completely unsupported? Didn't think my card was that old where I started not being able to use certain features..

 

[CHfan4ever]

Maybe you need to turn OFF anti aliasing on your card or in game in order to use HDR.You cannot use HDR with anti aliasing.Also you should informed yourself IF your x850 is able to display HDR.I know that the x800 series doesnt support HDR.

Only the new ATI cards can support HDR. I have an x850XTPE as well. You really aren't missing a whole lot, the game could simulate HDR fine on our cards if the developers wanted to, I've seen it done fine in other games.

I dont suppose anyone has benchmarked Oblivion on a WinXP Bootcamped iMac?

 

[Stoneburner]

is there a log of oblivion crashes?

 

[sinucus]

I have an issue with the game crashing on loadup. I get the main Bethesda logo and the next video. Once I get to the main screen it crashes to desktop. I've reinstalled drivers and tried the omega drivers. I've reinstalled the game, nothing. Any other video game works perfectly. Tried hardware acceleration on and off for sound.

ATI x800 XT Platinum 256MB
AMD 2400+
1GB RAM

Any ideas for me?

*edit - I've resolved the issue after 4 days of troubleshooting! Turns out that drive was having some corruption issues. Installed the game on a different drive and everything is fine now. I finally got to play the game and understand why it was worth all the hassle, it's a beautiful game!

i get to screw around with sli 7900gt superclocks for a week (cross shipment overlap time ) when i dont have vsync enabled im either getting slow fps or tearing. running debug in oblivion and watching the sli load meter..i can see this game is very cpu limited..and when its not..these cards destroy it.

what my question is...

when i enable vsync it looks like crazy madness. ermm..like enabling vsync screws up SLI mode alot.

is this common?

personally after being able to use both for a couple days i prefer single card solution to SLI because the cpu keeps up and thus everything is smoother feeling overall..and no tearing.

thnx!

 

[morkus64]

mine crashes every so often, just because, and now it's crashing whenever i click continue or load from the main menu... I'm not sure if it's my saved games that are bad or what. WE NEED A PATCH, DAMMIT

Anyone happen to have a savegame right before exiting the sewers?

 

[spacelord]

I had much more frequent crashes with anything newer than the NVIDIA v84.21 drivers. I tried some custo tweaked ones too and still had crashes. I went back to 84.21 and things are a bit better. I have a 7800GT and X2 3800+ with 2GB Ram.

i had the same problem... i deleted the oblivion.ini file (in ...\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\) (you can just rename it, so you can restore it if that doesn't work)

you might also try moving your saved games... i think it has trouble when you save a game, then add mods and resave over the file
