Problem[edit]

Black Screen or CTD in Exterior Cells. The game screen turns black upon entering an external cell, or CTDs.

Cause - Bad shader[edit]

Bad shader implementation in the video card drivers, mostly seen on Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics when using Windows 7.

Solution: Change the following values in the Oblivion.ini file:

  • bUseWaterShader=0
  • bUseWaterReflections=0
