Oblivion Beta Patch Available

[DaveyTN]

http://www.elderscrolls.com/home/home.htm

I've not tried this patch. I'll probably wait on the confirmed patch from Bethesda. Bethesda said they are going to release the beta patch first and let users try it out and report back on problems.

Just wanted to put this out there in case anyone was interested. Remember its a beta patch and that you may experience other problems. Some people were concerned about losing their saved games after applying the beta patch - I'm not sure if this is a potential problem or not. Use at your own risk!

i have 265 hours into the game . . . i want to be damn sure it doesn't 'break' anything.
:Q
since there are probably 150 hours left to go
:shocked:

and since i DISabled my Windbond Hardware Doctor, Oblivion no longer crashes.
[although i restart it every 5 hours or so as it seems to "slow down"]

What are you doing in the game i have spent 70hrs and i am finished. I have done all the stuff they wanted me to do to get 1000 Achievements points

I have done :
Main Quest
Mages Guild Quest
Daedric Quests
Thieves Guild Quest
Fighter Guild Quest
Drak Brotherhood Quest
Became a Vampire and sucked people blood at night and then cured myself
Did alchemist stuff
Made my own spells
Played as a magic dude
Played as a Combat dude
was an archer dude
theif and slealth dude
I have done the mini side quest , like go fishing for the poor dude or find the house of douche or help out farmer by killing the trolls.

I am done with the game and i will wait for a major Mods to come out :! then i will buy the pc version and by that time it should be arround $30.

But now i am playing Kingdom hearts 2 on PS2

 

[Todd33]

I got to the last Oblivion gate and the game locks up everytime I try to save or loot a body. I hope the 360 patch fixes this stuff. Great game, but it was released far too soon.

 

[MechaSheeba]

I don't want the patch just for the bow dupe glitch, I've had more fun with that than the game itself.

are you kidding . . .

you probably didn't touch 80% of the game.
:Q

Did you make Grand Champion?

. . . Arch-Mage?

. . . Listener?

You need to reach the 'top' in every Guild.

Find all the master trainers?

All the skill books?

Every Daedric Shrine?

Collect every Ayleid Statue?

All 8 houses?

All 5 horses and Shadowmere {the immortal one}?

[that's just off the top of my head]
:roll:

Your own shoppe?

and there are hundreds of other locations aside from the quests . . . i 'only' closed 34 Oblivion gates so far.


. . . and i am only level 19 [of 50 or so] and have *broken* the game since Level 17.
[created a character SO powerful, it is like a 'no-clip Godmode'.



it's my first Fantasy RPG.

Yeah, I've got over 200 Hours in Oblivion and I've only done 30 something Quests. Haven't even started the Main Quest yet . . . .

 

[Ichigo]

This patch probably also removes the ability for that nude patch. That would explain the need for the change by the ESRB to the M rating.

You're both fvcking retarded.

 

[1Dark1Sharigan1]

Installed the patch. No noticeable performance increases. Still doesn't fix the black screen issue with HDR. Oh well, a patch is a patch. At least it doesn't crash anymore.

 

[framerateuk]

Im so glad i got the PC version and dont feel compelled to get any Achievement Points Id rather complete the quests on the enjoyment factor rath than the Achievement factor

just 'cause you raced thru Oblivion doesn't mean everyone want's to
:roll:
