possiblysin Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Agh I'm gona rage here for a sec. So anyways I have Vista now I know pretty much everyone hates it but I've never had problems with it. Anyways I want to get Shivering Isles so I can play some of the mods that I really want but I heard that none of the DLC works for Vista! So who here who has Vista is really ticked off they can't get the DLC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birrii Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Why are you so sure that it doesn't work? It is just rumors you know.Why don't you give it a shot? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possiblysin Posted March 24, 2009 Author Share Posted March 24, 2009 It said here it didn't work So I just assumed that it didn't but If you tell me its just rumors then that's great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarb Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I have the Game of the Year Edition (only just started playing Oblivion a short while ago), and I have Vista. Shivering Isles works fine. Unfortunately, the officially downloaded content from Betheseda uses a launcher that will not open if you run Vista. I have heard there are work-arounds, and though I have not tried, I know I came across a mod here that purports to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palpenious Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 I've been running on Vista, and was able to install SI from disk but could not download the wizards tower,and magic orrery when I bought them. Also whatever support they have listed apparently did not exist as I was unable to contact them about it. But when they offered the fighters stronghold for free, I easily downloaded and installed it, no problem at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackmesaadimistrator Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 I have Vista and can play Oblivion GOTY DLC just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwaxalot Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Because of the packaging used on the official DLCs, they will not install on a Vista machine. Instead you can use Universal Extractor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
