Salute. As I have previously mentioned, I've been starting a new game of Oblivion, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere since the game is inconsistently crashing. Now, I'm lousy at asking for help (and have something of an aversion to the internet in general), but seeing as I like the people 'round here I figured I might as well ask.
The problem seems to revolve around travelling from an interior to the world map - as soon as the outside has finished loading, *bam* the game quits.
It also seems that this is independent of whatever mods I am running - which is not many - since I have tried deselecting all mods and loading my game with vanilla OB and still the accursed thing crashes.
I intend to use OBSE (I have two mods requiring it), but that doesn't seem to be the culprit either, since I've tried running without it, and the same problems occur.
The strange thing is that on occasion I have managed to leave the city or sewer without crashing - but if I then enter the city, save, load and try to leave - blam. And when I try to recreate the exact circumstances that got things working once, it crashes again - hence I described this as 'inconsitent crashing'
This is, obviously, a real bother. My only guess is that it is something annoying to do with Windows 7, since my new computer uses that (and in a short time I have decided that Windows 7 is the source of much of life's misery). But I have little understanding of computers (strange considering how much I liked to tinker with the CS), so my guesses are unlikely to mean anything.
So... Anyone got the faintest idea of what I could do?
Help would be much appreciated.
