Hi There

[darkstone]

Hi,just thought I`d introduce myself.

My name is Chris,I`m 46 and live in Lincolnshire in the UK.

I started playing Oblivion as soon as it came out..well thats a lie really,I tried to play Oblivion when it came out but due to pc limitations I had to use Oldblivion,so right from the start I was used to changing stuff in ini files and dropping stuff in and out of data folders etc.In all fairness my FX5900xt did a pretty good job and it was very playable and even looked nice,apart from the mirror water that is.(no ripples)

Since then and numerous upgrades I`m still playing and now enjoying an install of FCOM and numerous mods on very high quality and loving it,especially since in 100+ hours I`ve not had one single ctd or bsod.

thats about it really

100+ hours and no crash? Would you mind if we exchanged our systems?

Welcome to the Alliance, darkstone. Since you are mod user addict, you will definately find a lot here at TES Alliance. With the new upgrades, we now have mod reviews, interviews and mod downloads.

Have fun browsing through the forums.

Hello darkstone, wow I`m lucky to get 100 uninterrupted seconds in-game. Enjoy, this has gotten a little like disneyland in that it`s hard to see it all in one visit.

Welcome! (have I been a member long enough to welcome people lol?) And I'm with Donato, I can barely go an hour without a CTD Still, new laptop coming in a few weeks

[WhoGuru]

A 100 hours and no crashes? I am officially jealous. Welcome to the Alliance!

[InsanitySorrow]

Hmm you live in the UK, thats great.

*Runs off to find a way to locate the 100 hour system*

Lol, welcome and enjoy your stay

Welcome to the Alliance, Stoney! Congratulations on the great rig you have for OB.

I myself have playtested 100+ hours with no crash.

But that's, you know, split into five minute or so playchunks of running around.

Yes. Playchunks. My new word.

[Cliffworms]

Yes. Playchunks. My new word.

You've just invented it, so I have the right to use, yes?

[grond]

No! All rights reserved! Naw - go on ahead. Use it!

Thanks for the welcome guys.

About the 100+ hours thing,I`m pretty impressed too.This is then first install that I`ve ever had that has`nt decided it wanted to ctd for no apparent reason.I`m not running a super specced pc either,just average.I am really cautious about mods though.When I find one I like I`ll read the readme,then read it again,then scour all the major forums for any information or problems,then I`ll try Google to see if that throws up anything else.A bit fanatical I know but how many times have we seen questions in forums about a mod that could be easily answered by digesting the readme or hitting "search" on a forum ?As mod interaction becomes more and more complex a little time doing some research can work wonders.

Oops went on a bit of a mini rant there

I`ll get my coat

Welcome, Stoney!

I too run a stable game, which is a minor miracle considering all of the alphas that I am running at any given time. Chalk it up to knowing how to manage my load order without a utility. Well, that and the alphas I test are by ladies and gents who know what they are doing. That sure helps.
