Oblivion Mod:PCS Library/Bows cause crash (Oblivion Bow Reach Bug)

ProblemEdit

The PC or an NPC equipping a bow causes Oblivion to CTD or even force the computer to restart or shutdown.

Cause - Bow Reach BugEdit

This problem occurs when a bow being equipped has a reach of 0.

Solution: A number of mods address this problem, most notably, the Unofficial Oblivion Patch addresses this problem and many other bugs in the Vanilla game.

Solution: Wrye Bash's Bashed Patch contains a tweak that should correct this setting in all loaded plugins, not just Vanilla Oblivion's ESM.

Solution: There are smaller mods that specifically address this issue for Vanilla and SI as well: Bow Crash Fix by Quazzy for SI.
