Morroblivion Gamesave Won't Load

Whenever I try to load my gamesave, the game crashes to my desktop (Oblivion has stopped working). This has actually happened before but I just sighed and ignored it (which I probably shouldn't have) and made a new gamesave. The last time this happened, I slept in a town bed and a sleeper failed to instantiate next to me (the sleepers awake quest). I then proceeded to take a silt strider but the game crashed when I got to my destination. But before the game crashed, I saw the ash slave next to me. Every time I tried to load that gamesave, the game just crashed. The loading screen would appear, but the game would just crash after the bar reached the end and a black screen appeared. This time, the game keeps crashing while I am doing the Morag Tong initiation quest (for Feruren Oran). I am in the Elven Nations Cornerclub if I am correct. In the current gamesave (morag tong crash), I have also encountered the sleepers problem. I tried to sleep TWICE and the message that someone was there while I was sleeping came up twice. I waited a while and ONE sleeper showed up. He was killed. But a SECOND sleeper didn't show up. So this may also be the problem. To be frank, I don't know what the problem is: I have tried my best and can't seem to find a solution. I was also thinking it is maybe a problem with load order... Anyway, I would appreciate it if someone could solve this problem for me. Also I wasn't sure whether or not to label this critical (because this problem has happened twice to me) so i just labeled it normal because i didn't want to make a big fuss out of this.

thanks

It sounds to me like you are missing some textures. Make sure you have installed ALL the latest files.

hmm you may be right because once while I was in the Morag Tong headquarters in the vicec arena, i noclipped out of the headquarters and saw big yellow balloons near the guy who gives you the daedric quest for mephala (they weren't NEXT to him but near him, outside of the map). the balloons said "WTF! I am a missing texture" or something like that.

In any case, do you recommend I reinstall morroblivion? And if I do, is there any guarantee that my gamesave will work? I have no desire to recreate a character again because I have gotten too far with my current one.

Interesting. I have not had that problem, but I haven't played the "Sleepers Awake" quest that much.

I have certainly had corrupted saves, however, which is a huge annoyance. Streamline might be a good idea, as you can set it up to save (a real save, not a quicksave) every X number of minutes. Make sure to configure it properly with the in-game menus.

Anyway, a full-reinstall of Morroblivion is probably in order. If you installed with Wrye Bash, this should be easy. You should be able to pick up right where you left off.

Hmm, even though a complete reinstall sounds horrible, I suppose it is inevitable at this point. Anyway, I don't really see how you can't have atleast started the Sleepers Awake quest seeing as how it is started on its own throughout the course of the main quest. If you've done the main quest in Morroblivion and have slept in a bed in a town, you must have been attacked by a sleeper... Anyway, do you have any suggestions during the reinstall Thermador? anything I should look out for or do different from your standard install method?

edit: and i didn't use wrye bash :/

i essentially did a manual install
