Crash Crash Crash

40 hours in and all I do is crash. I will never buy another game from Bethesda. They put out such garbage anymore. You can keep ES6. Tainted grail is better anyway. We should file a class action lawsuit for a refund.

Ive been having the same issue this morning. 60 hours in and now all of the sudden i cant go 5 minutes without a crash. Its obviously something they need to investigate

Its funny we are all having problems now. Its very interesting. When are you getting your most crashes. I most of the time get crashes when trying to go through doors(loading screens). I have gotten crashes mid gameplay, but only a few times.

From when i last saved yesterday i was at the lair(player house at the very south) I closed a gate near by, fast traveled to Imperial city mp to sell so stuff. After leaving the shop door is when it started. Ill try restarting my system to see if that does anything. But nothing in game seems to help. (lower settings no ray tracing things like that)

I would suggest that people that have crashes start to use MSI Afterburner, enable overlay to show how much VRAM and RAM is in use during gameplay, CPU and GPU metric that are useful is clockspeed (as to see if how much each cores clock are ramping up and down, to see how much GPU are clokcing up and down during gameplay as that also can change a lot depending on GPU [what is the max clock speed for your GPU and how much of it is being utilised).

https://www.msi.com/Landing/afterburner/graphics-cards

It is free and can be used on any brand or type of video card including integrated GPU (iGPU) on CPUs which have K in the end of SKU like i7 13700K instead of F (i7 1300F) where F means that CPU have not an iGPU, AMD call this APU sometimes for the older generation of CPU. Laptop often have a combination of iGPU/APU and discrete GPU.

Too often gamers only look at percentages which isn't telling the full story. When I play Original Oblivion I could see around 100% usage of GPU, but when enabling overlay to also show clock speed on GPU it showed instead a very low clock speed (around 500 MHz out of around 2100 MHz which means that GPU where clocking down to a power state that within that power state would be 100%, but not the full potential of GPU clock speed and only used around 50 Watt of GPU).

So start to test with MSI Afterburner and its overlay what data can be shown to how game actually performs and not only focus on percent here. There is also possible to create logs which can be useful to track down crashes (is there CPU or GPU that suddenly doesn't respond and that will create a crash, RAM or VRAM that suddenly dip down or increase up to getting out of memory issues [memory leaks] etc?

Here is a video that explains how to set up and use MSI Afterburner. Enable in Riverturner position of where overlay should show those data and pick Oblivion.exe in Riverturner as to start MSI Afterburner when Oblivion.exe are run.
