Problem with launch game.
I'm sorry for my English. Oblivion Launch is launch well. But after click play on oblivion launch, there's no action. But on process, the oblivion exe is on. Why is this happen?

Depends if you are using mods or obse. I get this everytime I start the game. I need to run it twice.

Suddenly it works when I should start with twice time when I'm not use any mod too. But nomally, if I start oblvion, oblivion is not work.

Thank you. But my cpu is ok, and this problem happens only oblivion. In task manager, oblivion exe is running, but not running on desktop. If I launch with no mod, at first doesn't launch. But if I launch second time, the game is launch. But if I use mod, I can't launch when I try to launch endless.

lol you will probably notice in your task manager theres a rundll.exe running after you launched it once. may or may not cause serious cpu usage. its a bug every old game has, they try to reach an old microsoft website that no longer exist in order to check for updates, instead of the rundll.exe closing itself like it should to launch the game it stays open

sorry but it just doesnt work. everytime you close it, you have to start old games twice. they refuse to run without rundll32 running too. it should be fine if it stays on 0 cpu, but if not i think you are in for a long journey on how to fix it. every game seems to have different fixes, and most seem to only be temporary. however if you dont play with mods requiring something like obse in oblivion, the best fix is renaming the application, for example oblivionn. rundll32 wont know its the same game and oblivion is free to start without it. i think you will have to add "oblivionn" into your steam library though, or maybe you can change the direction of the game itself in the library. i dont know for sure because i dont have it on steam but on cd

but just to clarify, if its running on 0 cpu usage, try launch the game twice and it should work. you can ignore the rundll32 in that case, its only if its causing your pc to overwork itself that you may want to find a workaround

A south korean trying to play Oblivion and asking for trouble shootings in the forum in English? What in the world did I just witness?

Oh nice to meet you Johnny Casey. I've seen you in other forums. So I found out that rundll32 can cause fatal errors to game.

No you're not. We haven't met before, so don't crap yourself.
Son Goku Aug 11, 2019 @ 12:16am
