Hey all,

Have just reinstalled Oblivion and included Skycaptain's excellent combat mod Deadly Reflex.

When I strike an NPC, they turn black, the details return if they are stunned for the duration of the effect, then they go black again (skin, armor, etc....) If you cut off their heads (chuckle), their heads will retain the normal colors, so I'm guessing I have a conflict between two mods...
My question is should I be looking at conflicting textures? Or meshes?

My guess is textures, just looking for a yes or no on this one.

A Huge thanks to all the modders out, you msde Morrowind my choice of game for many many years, may you do the same for Oblivion.

Thanks in advance.

General question: official patch 1.2.0416 reinstalled? Did you reload & activate all of Kivan's patches?

Also, what graphics card are you using?

Hi Varus,

I'm running a Winfast 512 PX 8600GT with the 1.75 nVidia Drivers, nVidia Blackscreen fix & nVidia Medoly.

I'm not sure what Kivan's patches are specifically but I have installed as per FCOM's instructions (All nessasary mods, though they specify OOO 1.34, I can only find 1.3.1 patch, which is weird as I thought I was running 1.33?)

I have tried running shader3 via the .ini file and that made little difference, and certainly did not fix the problem.

Strangely, some of the recently deceased who are all blacked out, get all their textures back if I save, quit and reload.

Shivering Isles 1.2 Unofficial and Official patches applied.

Thank you for your attention, I'm not sure whatelse to include that might help.... I could list the mods that I think are the cuplrits if that helps?

Ta again Varus.

Just as a brief update, it appears that the FCOM website might be tad out of date. I downloaded and reinstalled latest MMM and OOO patches. The blacked out figures occur with modded NPCs and creatures and the missing reaver textures all point toward to it being a MMM problem.... I'll try disabling the mods and do a clean save before re-enabling them. Any other pointers welcome.
