elraccoon Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I just got Oblivion for the PC (GOTY edition) and I can't find the place to put the mod manager. Also, I can't find the meshes folder. Could anyone tell me how to get to the meshes and install the mod manager? Thank you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 If you installed in the default location C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data The mod manager goes in the Oblivion directory. The meshes folder will be in the data directory. It should be created the first time you need it. But you can create yourself if you want. If it is already there, the mod will use it. If not, it should create it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elraccoon Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Should i install a crash protector or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 What are your computer specifications? If you don't know, the make and model we can look up the specs with that. Also, you don't need the mod manager if you don't have any mods yet. Wait until you have got the vanilla game running before adding anything. The GOTY includes some mods, don't even install them until you see if it works. Just install Oblivion, start it and accept the video settings it starts with. After you get it to start up, you can go in and increase the settings at any time. With all except the most expensive video cards, you will not be able to run at maximum and it will be a trade off between function and beauty.

elraccoon Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 Thank you but i still am having problems...I'm currently trying to run it without SI or Knights yet it still refuses to work no matter what quality I have it set on. :wallbash: Also, my computer should work on the middle quality but the game refuses to even start.A small black box appears in the upper left corner and then it comes up with error statement.Thank you.

bben46 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 There are some video cards, especially on laptops that will not run Oblivion no matter what. You can try downloading the latest drivers for them. that might help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elraccoon Posted February 17, 2009 Author Share Posted February 17, 2009 My videocard is the NVIDIA Geforce4 MX 440...Would that work? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Requires Nvidia 6800 series or higher. That card is from 2002. If the rest of your system is the same age, you need to do some serious upgrading before Oblivion will run very well if at all. You might want to try Oldblivion http://www.oldblivion.com/They have some info on getting older hardware to work on Oblivion, The right drivers etc, also info on what doesn't work.

Be sure to pick The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion in the gamelist. There has been reports of instability - so run at your own risk, and the processor value may be inaccurate. So feel free to ask in this forum if you have any questions, while posting your full specs. Thanks to Freddo for posting these specs originally. Had to close that topic to make room for new pinned topics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
