Does Oblivion Crash this much for everyone?

I was having trouble with Oblivion crashing untill i found this. This may not help you, but it solved the problem for me. It seems to be a codec problem. I have been playing oblivion for two days now and not one crash. (http://www.techspot.com/vb/all/windows/t-49135-Apparantly-Microsoft-Needs-My-Help.html)

What happens with me is that every time I exit Oblivion, it says the game crashed, but I exited anyways so it didn't. Also, when I installed the Castle Highrock mod, my game would crash whenever I tried to save or access the menu, so If you have any significantly large mods installed they might be causing the problem.

I can vouch for Oblivion frying a card. My 9800 Pro AGP bit the dust on my old dell. Now I'm running an 8800 GTX with a core 2 duo and the game is smooth as silk. I just need more RAM because the 1gb I have bottlenecks the processor, which bottlenecks my graphics card. All those horses and no room to gallop.

AGP? Maybe it was a mercy killing so you could go Uber! :cheeky:

You can still get good AGP cards, the ATI X1950 Pro for instance is still in the (http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/graphics/charts.html?modelx=33&model1=516&model2=607&chart=207) top 15 for performance in Oblivion.

If you have Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul, it's a known bug that on some systems it crashes OB on exit frequently. Your saves are fine, but check your ini if you';ve changed any settigns that playsession. Mine keeps forgetting what screenchot it's on and a couple video settings :p

Yeah, I pretty much always got the crash on exit and forgetting my settings but I also got a load of other crashes. Anyway, I'm not playing Oblivion atm so I'm not really bothered.

My game has taken to crashing every single time I load after death.

steo on 18/4/2007 at 22:34

Every single time? That sounds like the problem I had but worse. Mind telling me what mods you're running, video settings and spec?

Well, it stopped when I exited that certain dungeon. Now it's "slightly" less frequent. I'm running a five or so year old system. Radeon 9800Pro, Pentium IV (Single Core) 2.4GHz processor, 1 gig of RAM.

If I had money I wouldn't be using this computer anymore :p
