Crashing on launch after cleaning

[PokeTheBear]

Hello and glad to be joining an active group.

I hope I can make sense out of what just happened with some help.

Please excuse my windedness, but alot has happened in 24 hours.

 

I have been playing TES4 for some time now, pretty much with the same mods.

No FCOM, OOO or Better cities. Yet.

 

Anyway, kept getting the cleaning suggestions after check BOSS load order and

decided to finally do it.

 

So, yesterday I started cleaning. After rebuilding bash patch each time and starting

a save, I played for a few minutes and everything was o.k., except crashing on exit.

I kept thinking as I made my way down the list that I'd finally figure out why, but did not.

 

The last thing I did this afternoon was to run TES4LOD Gen. I did not make a copy of

any Data files prior.

 

I then started a game, coc'd to outside Battlehorn Castle and went inside to put some

lion pelts from Elsweyr out of my inventory. Then I went into the wine cellar and retrieved a bottle or two of

wine from the vintner's barrels.

As I started back up the stairs I had noticed changes in the floor and trim around doors. It was a combination of blue with a rainbow mosaic of traingles. When I went out the door to the main chamber I got a CTD.

And now it crashes on launch. Whew!

(Get through that?)

Thinking that I messed up with the LODGen, I copied my mesh folder and ran TES4ll v4.10 and selected mid detail bat, then tried a restart.

No joy.

So, here I am. 

I've checked off all mods except esm for OB and UOBP and tried to launch through OBSE, again no luck.

I'd appreciate any suggestions (short of a new rig) to get me back my game!!!

Thanks.

Try re-installing the game... "rainbow triangles" means your textures are messed up, and probably your meshes too to cause the CTD's.

[PokeTheBear]

OK, thanks. I did think about that, just have never had to do any reinstall on any game before.

Guess copying save folder is enough to keep from losing progress, yes?

[Hanaisse]

Your saves folder will not be deleted unless you do that yourself manually. You can always copy a backup if you'd like.

Now I'm not sure what happened.

As I mentioned I could not launch the game by any means.

I left it overnight while I searched for my 5th Anniv disk to do a reinstall.

On a lark I decided to try it the next am with just Obliv and SI esm, patches and bash patch ticked on.

It started without a disk in!

After I created a new character and found myself back in the dungeon,

it automatically applied the patches for official, unofficial and SI.

So, I got my game back, but not too sure how.

 

I still get crashes on exit and Valenwood bugs out with missing meshes and CTD at certain points, so

I'll prob just drop it and look for something more stable.

Thanks H for your input.
