Overview
NO MODS / NO Downloads requiredTook me hours of searching through forums and websites to find a fix, tried many mods and every time I entered combat and left combat the game would still freeze up.
Method
Go to your steam library folder:
Steam > Steamapps > common > Oblivion > Data > Music
Delete:
“Battle Music”.
Boot up the game, you will no longer hear the music at the start of combat or when in danger but it hopefully shouldn’t freeze up any more.
Thanks.
