adikad13000: I bought the OG two times, which is crashing with stability mods 15-20 times per playthrough, tho back in 2010-2011 the stability was ok, it's probably the modern hardware, but still.

toroca: I know this was from days ago, but it's the first time I've been here since then. :)

I play the OG Oblivion on an ancient system running Windows 7, and while I have crashes occasionally, they are not frequent. I have nearly 100 mods installed, some of them designed for stability, so that could explain part of it.But you could also be correct in your supposition that old Oblivion doesn't play as well on modern hardware.
As far as I remember at that time I hardly had any mods let alone for stability/performance, maybe cosmetic ones, nothing that could have caused crashes and I simply do not remember the game stability being this awful. The majority of the games I play have a couple of crashes if any at all, I consider this amount to be one of the worst I ever experienced actually. The second worst is DAO, but that is very specific, easily recreated crashing in Denerim, not like Oblivion, because in this game I can't replicate the crashing. Sometimes it's the loading screen, sometimes combat, sometimes running around exploring the map.

Wow, that really sucks. I've started playing Oblivion again in the last few days, and over the course of maybe ten hours of playing, thus far the only crash I've had was my own fault; in other words I know exactly what caused it and it wasn't anything specific to the game. I haven't had any random crashes at all. Now, it's possible that my version is simply a little more stable than what's on GOG; my install is from actual physical media rather than whatever the current release on GOG is, even though I have also purchased the GOTY version from here. (I don't plan to install the GOTY version until the next time I decide to start a new character)

I've had occasional crashes in DAO as well, and for me those ones have been random, but I'm lucky enough to have downloaded the installers before GOG added DAO to the Preservation Program and made updates that broke the game for a lot of players, so the crashes I have are related to issues that were never resolved in the past, rather than new issues GOG created by accident.

Denerim crashes have nothing to do with the Preservation Program, that has been a problem ever since 2018 or even at launch. GOG has nothing to do with that.

Sorry, I didn't word my reply very well; I hadn't meant to imply that your issues with DAO were because of the PP, I simply meant that a lot of players have experienced problems with DAO specifically because of the changes GOG made when they added it to the PP, but that my own crashes have been entirely random and unrelated to that.

No worries, but to be honest I am not even sure that we have ever got a stable version of this game. I never completed my playthrough back when I still had Windows 7, so as far as I remember this game has always had some kind of issue related to crashing.
