Green screen problem

Post by Darkcootie »

When I load my screen is completely green, except for the mini map and health, magicka, fatigue stats... When I start a new game the intro movie plays fine, but when the character creation menu appears everything around it is green.

Now, i did mess around with the music a little bit, putting in music from morrowind, and i installed the mighty magicka mod, but before that it played without problem. I've tried to replace the music folder with the back-up one i made, and i've deleted MM mod, and reinstalling, and none of it helps :(

...Can anyone help me?

Btw, should the music play while you're loading? i haven't played it in a while and i can't remember.

That's a weird one, and if I were you, the first thing I'd try is switching in a different monitor, because this smells rank of a hardware problem. Like you've blown out your flyback, or two of your electron cannons have died, or some of the electro-magnets have been cooked. Have you had a thunderstorm recently? Does this happen only in Oblivion, or is it across the board? If it's in everything, then hardware for sure. If just Oblivion, then I haven't the vaguest.

hehe, I rebooted my computer and now it works fine :rolleyes: I still wonder what did it though... just hope it's not hardware. I only had the problem with oblivion, so lets blame Bethesda for now. Thanks for the reply ;)

Last time that happened to me, it was the video card (which was really old, and needed replacing), so I'm not sure that you're out of the woods just yet.
Get up, stand up. Come on, throw your hands up.
