Question:
(UPDATED 5/2/07 w/ More Problems) Please help: Oblivion randomly crashing...
Vista, Cat7.2, and Oblivion with it updated to 1.2.
Every once in a while, I'll open a door...and the game crashes. It's rather annoying...does anyone know what to do?

Re: Please help: Oblivion randomly crashing...
I had that happen before, I tried many things, but it turned out a a fresh install of windows or a defrag is best BEFORE you install Oblivion.
I have tested this theory on many computers [newly (re)installed and currently being used ons], the majority of the results were the newly re-installed OS [full format, not quick] PCs got the best stability.
Installing Oblivion on the systems that have not re-installed (re-formatted) seemed to have about a 50% success rate for not crashing.

Maybe there's something to do with the new 1.2 beta patch. Since I installed it, it just randomly crashing once for a while especially when I try to fast travel :(. Gotta make a reinstall tomorrow :)

As Said before, I had this problem with Windows XP and i just needed to reinstall (put your saved game files of a flash stick) And of coarse a nice defrag!

Try it in XP compatibility mode, that's all I can think of. It may be a GPU driver issue with Vista.
