f***ing crashes

[Shepherd]

can someone help me decrease the number of crashes and use the 4g patch thx

[EnclaveEyebot]

the vanilla game doesn't need the 4gb patch. If you are heavily modded it can help. where did you install and run the 4gb patcher

[Shepherd]

its modded and i didint install it yet but where do i install it to

[EnclaveEyebot]

i believe it is the folder containing your oblivion.exe. I think then you run the patcher and it will modify your .exe file to utilize 4gb of memory, it will clearly notify you if it was succesful

ok thanks for help will do

Ok, there are a few Oblivion Script Extender Plugins that are essential for less crashes.
With them i can play many hours without crashing:

I use:
-Engine Bug Fixes
-NVAC (New Vegas Anti crash, also works for Oblivon; helped me very very much!)
-Fast Exit: For crashes when closing the game
- OneTweak: Many different fixes like working Alt-tabbing

With these 4 core Plugins, the game is very stable! You can find them on Oblivon Nexus or just google them.

Remember, you need Oblivion Script Extender first!
Also you should install the lastest unofficial Oblivion Patch.

Hope i could help you

all the above OP, though I don't use NVAC, I use Oblivion Stutter Remover and modified the iheap, NVAC had no improvement in crashes or game performance for my particular system. Might be worth a try though

(under "Stability Mods; OBSE plugins, Fixes & Patches)
It's all you need. Especially Enboost, give it a try.

If you keep crahsing then it's probably due to a modding error/conflict or simply your hardware.

THANK-YOU!!!

I had been living with the effects of the A bomb glitch for so long without realising it and only discovered that about 10 minutes ago while reading about the Engine Bug Fixes plugin. The flames on torches and fireplaces appeared frozen, the visual effects of casting spells on myself took ages to complete and doors took hours to open but after installing Engine Bug Fixes all of that is now fixed. I've already got Fast Exit but will now check out NVAC and OneTweak.

Thanks again because now the A bomb glitch is fixed the game will be much more enjoyable. I missed looking at the licking flames of cozy fireplaces :)

I've also noticed since installing Engine Bug Fixes that I can now walk from the Cloud Ruler Temple to the Bruma gates without the game freezing anymore and needing a restart which had been happening for years. I was able to visit Applewatch and the interior hasn't changed! There's a mod I had to uninstall recently because it placed a house near Applewatch so whenever I tried to go there the game would freeze. Now that is resolved I can re-activate that mod. There was also another mod I tried out a few years ago which gives you a player house high up in a tree but the game started to freeze when I approached it in the wilderness. I'll wager that has also been fixed by the Engine Bug Fix mod as well.

It seems to me like it should be as essential as the Unofficial Patch.

use Wyre Bash to fix/reset the Abomb,also it's a must have for a modded Oblivion, here's some reading material some of the links are dead but you can Google them http://wiki.step-project.com/User:Astien/Oblivion

I see people talking about Wrye Bash and Boss and a Bashed Patch but have to admit I've never really understood exactly what all that does and if I really need it. My setup is just OBMM so when I manually install a mod I check it in the OBMM list and load up the game. I've had a few issues over the years and in my current game discovered a few areas on the map that became no-go areas but apart from that it's been stable and the freezing issues seem to be mostly fixed by the Engine Bug Fixes mod. If two mods place a building in the same place can that be fixed with a bashed patch and does Wrye Bash have a user friendly interface to manage mods easier than OBMM? I'm trying to work out if I need to switch to Wrye Bash without delay or if I don't need to.

It sounds like I do but would I need to start a new game and install mods from scratch or can I install in to my current game and it will detect all the mods in the data folder and I can just start launching that instead of the OBMM shortcut?

Wyre Bash will work with OBMM no need to start a new game,yes it will merge masters, tell you of conflicts,update NPC lvls etc,you can launch OBMM thru Wyre Bash,but on W10 it doesn't like it https://wrye-bash.github.io/docs/Wrye%20Bash%20General%20Readme.html

That link is just what I needed, thanks. I'm going to spend some time reading about it before I start making changes and it will clearly lead to a better experience that is something I should have done long ago. I always thought it was something for people who didn't like installing mods manually but I certainly have egg on my face now.
