Well thats not entirely true, it will load up, get to the start screen, then when I hit continue to a new game, it crashes, after loading a little bit, sometimes half way, sometimes a third of the way. Oh the game is Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion.

Hey there Manok,


this might sound obvious, but have you tried reinstalling the game + downloading the patches.

Also have you ever been able to play this game before without this problem?.

Moved to Pc games section.


Bugsey .

My mate had this problem with his install of the game...
he never bothered reinstalling the game, but he did have to "load" instead of "continue" the game.

It could be a corrupt savegame, if this is the case, your pretty much screwed (enless you have a older savegame of that character that ISNT corrupted)

To test if your savegame is corrupt, load up that save, then load it again straight after, if it crashes the game to desktop, then i'm afraid to say its corrupt.

Ah yes, good call...

That did happen to me at one point

I've even instlaled it, again, and same result.I also get similar results with other games, so could this be a cd drive issue? for instance, sim city 3000 will get to the title screen and I can move the mouse around but not click on any of the options.
