Alchemy combinations

[Ommamar]

I am wondering if anyone has noticed certain ingredients together causing a crash? The example I have is a potato and a sweet roll, it seems like every time I use that combination the game crashes. I am trying to see if it is just a coincidence or if others have the same problem.

had it with Garlic and Claws but i think it was just bad timing

It might be but 3 crashes in a row with that combination,although it didn't crash the last go around. I did just crash as the emperor was getting his throat cut on a new build so might be a driver issue,I will have to frig around with things to see if I can fix it.

i haven't had a single crash from this but i know this is oblivion and it has a tendancy to run out of space for committed actions and just stall.

the original would crash upon actions like this as well, and it's due to how fast certain things are happening.

to prevent it in the original, always make sure you're doing whatever it is that's causing the crash in a stable state.

such as waiting for a save to actually finish before opening up the alchemy menu, not trying to mash buttons too fast and things like that.

I am very aware of that when using alchemy I wait for the flash before I hit the brew button again. If I do feel like I am clicking to fast I will actually close that menu down entirely then relaunch it. I still get the most crashes when doing alchemy I think it is just glitchy.

it is just glitchy like i said it was like that in the original as well lol.

while i haven't been having the issue, i do know it can happen and fingers crossed it doesn't in the future for me.

but yeah it's just very prone to not liking your inputs in certain situations like this.

for instance: while i haven't had this crash, i have had two others.

first crash i had was from me altering the graphics settings in game too many times.

second crash was when i was opening a door, (a regular one not one that lead to an interior or exterior,) just activating it made the game insta close with no error report.

so yeah, it's prone to crashing, i just haven't had anything other than those first two.

when you see green, make potion, no thought required.
