DanVanClam Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I am trying to play the Elder Scroles 4 - Oblivion, and I just installed patch v1.2.0416 and now every time I start up the game, I get through to the menu and then when I click continue, or start new game, it loads and goes to black screen for a little bit, then gives me the classic boot out of the game and option to either send error report or not. Ive tried disabling my mods so its not that, its the patch. How do I fix this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first thing you may want to do is moving away the Oblivion.ini (same as backup and delete it) and let the game create a fresh one. If it solves the problem you'll have to redo any previously done tweaks and configuration. That Oblivion.ini you finds into the c:\(My) Documents\....\Oblivion\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything else I should try??? How do I uninstall the patch so I can at least play the game again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since I don't know the actual state of your installation and you are telling about patch I'll assume you should do a complete uninstall, from the DVD, not under the Control Panel, delete every remaining folders (advisable doing backups... remember just changing the name of the Oblivion folder may be considered a backup. Do a fresh install, if you have SI Isles install it before patching AND, this is very important, use ONLY the patch for Shivering Isles, You must not use the Oblivion patch in this case! If Vista, install the game away from the C:\Program Files ... use something else, like C:\Games or even (and preferable) another partition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanVanClam Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 That worked, but re-installing the game and all my mods wasnt fun. Thanks thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
