is there anyone else out there having the problem with the screen going black, but you can still see the HUB.you have to close the game and reload it for it work again...it happens mainly when talking to someone...is there any fix for this or will the ext patch fix it too..

i have an XFX 7800GTX 256MB
AMD 4400+ 64bit
Winxp Pro 64bit...
2GB Ram..

I have a problem sometimes with fuzziness going over the screen and blurs, goes away after a minute or 2.

I've had this problem but only once or twice, and it was when I was trying to cheat to get somewhere because my fast travel is broken Have you got the latest drivers for your card?

ya got the lastest drivers...i jst got the 64-bit forceware drivers and its not as bad! but still there...

Been looking over the ini file a bit recently to solve another issue, and I notice there is a built in 'auto-quality' feature based on frames per second. Perhaps if your fps gets too low the game will automatically adjust the graphics so low that it looks blurry?

Try turning off HDR if you have that on.

hmm i didnt try turning off the HDR, but everything looks so nice with it on...but i will give it a try...

but i only get the black screen (can still see HUD) whenever i talk 2 someone, it never happens when im out and about or fighting etc..

one other thing i do have alot of mods..but i've been tryin to remember back to the start if i was having the problem..but my father has the game installed too and we both have the same systems..video cards, boards etc.. and he has the same prob..im wondering is a graphic card issue or wot else could be causing this??

do u know if yo can turn this "auto-quality! off???

I'm not sure, but it's probably possible to disable/adjust this. There is a good tweak guide here:

http://www.tweakguides.com/Oblivion_1.html

Actually, that happened to me a couple of times, and I've talked to others who've had the very same problem. For me, it usually happens entirely randomly. It's rare and unpredictable. What I usually do is that I save the game, quit, and restart. When I load the savegame then, everything's back to normal.

It's one of the few serious bugs I've encountered in Oblivion.

Sidenote: Interesting. I have an XFX 7800GT 256mb. Wonder if it has anything to do with that specific brand? That, or perhaps it's the nVidia driver. Or something else. Who knows.

i went through the guide cant find it...i emailed the guy who wrote it..maybe he may knows if we can truen it off.....but is really annoying as i cant play the game

yes it started only happening here and there..but know it happens so much i spend more time restarting the game than playin it...maybe it have something to do the the XFX Brand card...interested...i just hope the up coming patch will fix this problem..

but if anyone out there has any nfo please let us know!

thx

Say, what driver version are you using? Perhaps we're using the same, and that version is to blame?

Well I hope you sort it out. These things are very frustrating I know! Sounds like you and stargelman might be on to something, so good luck to you. Just for the records I have an ATI card (X1900XTX).

i think this is the one im using ForceWare 81.33 Windows x64..as iam not at my pc now...i tried the orginal Nvvidia drivers but it was worse...

what version are you using?? maybe we can find a happy medium for now...i dont mind if i catn fix it fully as long as i can get to stop doing it EVERY tell i talk to someone!

""I have this problem as well. The 2D things like the interface/inventory are still visible but the screen goes black. It can be corrected by tabbing out and back in, or if you ahve nothing open to tab out to you can hit ctrl + alt + delete to bring up task manager, then go back into game and the blackness should be gone.

Ive tried 3 different sets of drivers and they all do this. It may have something to do with one of the mods i have installed.

However I have found a way to stop the black screens from happening. But the game wont look as beautiful.

Turn off HDR lighting and the black screens stop."""

well i tink i got my problem fixed..i have been playing it all evening and no crash!! touch wood!

so what i did was unistall the game(backup your save game) and re-installed it!! Dont Start the game!!

Installed Microsoft .Net Frameworks 2.0 WinXP 64Bit

Then I installed the following Drivers,

used this new Geforce driver....84.25_forceware_winxp64_international.exe

and for a new driver for my Nforce... nForce WinXP64 6.69

i got both drivers off Guru3D.com

and finally i followed this tweak guide, i did everything in it, before i start to even play the game...and you'll get that on.

i think this is the right link http://www.atomicmpc.com.au/article.asp?SC...&CIID=36546&p=3


well give it a try and do in the order i did it.
Sure let us know how you get on...

9hrs later....game still running with out any crashes and i have alot of mods installed too.

Happy Days...
but will let u know if it keeps working ok!

Glad you sorted it out, and thanks for the link to that tweak guide. It was most useful.

ya it worked for me for abt 2days...then it started again...i have turned off HDR now..and havent had a prob..we just have to wait for the patch and hope it fixes the problem...

Hmm.. sounds strange. You don't want to install the beta patch then? It seems to be working good for me. At least I'm rid of the crash when quitting the game. It wasn't too serious since I quit the game anyway, but it was a bit annoying.
