Hai!
Need some help troubleshooting Oblivion here... ^_^

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate x64. I get crashes when I try to start a new game. That means: I get to the main menu and press the "new game" button. The loading bar appears, and I hear ambient sounds. But just when the loading is about to finish, the game crashes to desktop WITHOUT ERROR MESSAGES. I have run Oblivion on this computer before without problems, but that was with the x86 7 Ultimate OS.

I have the latest ATi drivers for my HD4850 card. The game is installed to the default directory. I installed 7 Ultimate x64 with a full version DVD OVER the old x86 (x86 now lies in the folder "Windows.old")

I tried running the game Vanilla, with DLC's, DLC's and textures, dlc's + textures + mods etc etc. Also with OBSE. Nothing works.

I have used all these mods and DLC's before, back with the x86 OS. This naturally suggests the problem could lie in the x64 OS. However, I don't understand WHAT part of the x64 bit thing is causing the problem, since other people play oblivion on x64.


My (relevant) specs:
Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Radeon HD 4850
2GB RAM (DDR2, PC8500, 1066MHz)


Please assist me in this matter!
Thanks in advance!

Have you tried setting the compatibility settings for the exe file?
I mean right clicking on it and changing it to run as if it was on a 32bits system?

It could also be your ATi drivers that cause this, they have had trouble with most of their drivers for a while now. You could try using an older driver.

Do you have catalyst installed? It can cause troubles as well.

Make sure you have the latest patch and (optional) have the Unofficial Oblivion Patch (Which installs as a mod).

If those fail, try reinstalling the game.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
