1: Bug: Stuttering
1.1 Music causes long pauses during battles and exploring.
Symptoms:
Oblivion would pause about 5 seconds when an enemy detected me or I killed them, etc. Other people complained of crashes, they all had Creative cards.
1.1.1 Fix:
Rename "Oblivion/Data/Music/Battle" folder to "BattleOld" or something like that. Just so that it's different.
Effect: No more battle music. Fixes the stutter issue. Not that bad of a sacrifice until Bethesda fixes it! You can also just edit the Oblivion.ini in My Documents\My Games\Oblivion and change "bMusicEnabled=1" to "bMusicEnabled=0" but that disable music entirely.
1.1.2 Comments:
This fixes the syutter issue. If you want to see if your audio card is causing your problems:
Disable the sound card in Device Manager. To see if this fixes your problems, do this:
Right-click My Computer, click -> Properties -> Hardware tab -> Device Manager
Scroll down to Sound, video and game controllers.
Right-click your sound card, mine read "Creative SB X-Fi." Yours may (probably) will be different. If you don't know which one it is, try disabling everything except "Audio Codecs," "Video Codecs," "Legacy Audio Drivers," and "Legacy Video Drivers."
Start Oblivion and see if everything stops.
1.2 Stuttering audio/game/voices
1.2.1 Possible fix
Use Software audio: Go to My Documents\My Games\Oblivion\ and open Oblivion.ini. Scroll down to the Audio section and change these two lines to:
bDSoundHWAcceleration=0
bUseSoftwareAudio3D=1
Bug: Crashes
I believe a lot of the crashing at the very beginning has to do with the graphics card. I think you should make sure your card supports above Pixel Shader 2.0. If you want to check quick, see if this makes a difference:
Edit the Oblivion.ini (in Mydocs\My games\Oblivion) and change "bUseShaders=1" to "bUseShaders=0" I would not recommend playing the game like this for the rest of the time you have it, but see if that fixes the startup crash.
2.1 Crashes to Desktop
Symptoms:
Crashes when starting Oblivion.
Crashing during the game.
Crashing after running it once and trying to run again. Works on fresh restart.
2.1.1 Possible fixes
Crashing -- May or may not work - For me, I was getting crashing after I played the game once... and needed to restart before I could play again. In fact, no other game would start after exiting Oblivion, they'd all crash. This is how I fixed it:
Start -> Run -> 'regedit.exe'
Navigate to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContro lSet\Contro l\Session Manager\Memory Management]
Delete these keys (if you have them):
"DisablePagingExecutive"
"LargeSystemCache"
Navigate to: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentContro lSet\Contro l\PriorityControl]
Delete this key (if you have it):
"Win32PrioritySeparation"
Download DirectX 9.0C December 2005 Update:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...d isplaylang=en
Reason:
I followed this guide awhile ago:
http://kadaitcha.cx/performance.html And just rolled backed my changes, like above. Then just installed DirectX 9 update again just to make sure. Everything works now, no crashing.

3.2 Quick 'N Dirty Guide
First and foremost, update your video card drivers.
Second, update your motherboard chipset drivers (from mobo website).
Thirdly, update your sound card drivers.
Fourthly, install Windows XP Service Pack 2.
Then, defrag your computer.
Next, in the Oblivion options panel, put everything to the lowest settings. 640x480, no HDR, no bloom, no distance, no vsync.
Close processes. Ctrl+Alt+Del, and sort the list by username. Any processes under you, see if you spot any that you can end.
See if that actually helps. If not, make sure you restarted your computer. Try it after a fresh restart.
