Oblivion Remastered troubleshooting

The exception code you are getting appears to indicate some code is trying to execute something very low level (e.g. direct device access) when it isn't allowed.

This isn't a widespread issue, so it seems reasonable to assume that it is specific to your machine.

My guesses are:

  • Corrupt game files, try deleting the user data for the game. Not sure where that lives.

  • Corrupt install but I think you've addressed that.

  • Corrupt windows, a scan disk check might repair something.

  • Corrupt drivers:

  • Fresh install of GPU drivers, using amd's tool or ddu.

  • Update chipset drivers if there are any.

  • Disable or uninstall anything that controls additional devices. E.g. led or fan controllers like Armoury crate or MSI afterburner.

  • Any other app that injects itself into the process. Game overlay, antivirus. Amd adrenaline does this, as can steam and gamebar.

And if the lawsuit goes through? Steam will just be better for us.

One thing to remember is that the push to Linux is a preemptive act of self preservation, so that will not falter unless they change strategy. Gaben talked years ago about not being beholden to Microsoft to host their platform and seeing the introduction of a Microsoft app store + locked down apps as trouble on the horizon. The fact that Linux is what the community wants is a happy coincidence, companies are not your friends.
