Oblivion Patch 1.2 Causes Purple Floor !!!

[Slaying_rocks_]

Hi Guys,

 

So whenever i patch Oblivion the floor turns purple!

 

Im running the game on vista, it runs at a constant 60fps with Qarls Texture Pack 3 and Natrual Environments. Max settings, but with No Anti Aliaizing (I have HDR Instead)

 

I need to fix this issue so i can use OBSE and mods which require this patch !

 

Any help would be great

 

:thanks:

I think one of those mods is affecting the other one. Uninstall both of those mods. Install Shivering Isles if you have it (install the vanilla patch - if you don't have it.) After installing Shivering Isles install the patch for it. I remember seeing a mod on here that does something similar like Qarl's texture that doesn't cause performance drop.

remove the mods,then add the patch and thenre add the mods,if it continues a shader file is corrupted or missing.

Ive tried removing all mods, then patching it, then adding just Qarls, and it messes up :verymad:

with OBMM you can run a conflict and see whats causing this or you can find him at the Canadian Ice forums all the time, perhaps he can help you out

I also tried that, but the Qarls im using is just the textures, No OMOD file or .ESP so it dosent read it. As for natrual envirionments, that dosent conflict with anything, its truely a mystery :confused:

Edited 4/25/09 - added link to shaders - Thanks Qwaxalot

 

I believe this is caused by a group of files called shaders. These files can be different for different graphics cards. If they somehow get the wrong shaders installed one of the results is the terrain in the foreground is purple. The shader package is based on your particular graphics card and is installed when you first install Oblivion.

 

I have seen 4 possible fixes for this problem.

 

The easiest is to go into your in game menu, (esc) select video and make sure your texture size is set to large.

 

The second involved the textures from unique landscapes. reinstalling them fixed it.

 

The third is replacing the shaders, see this: http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=20348 Thanks to Qwaxalot for this tip

The shaders may be graphic card dependent, I'm not sure on this.

 

The fourth involves loading patches in the wrong order and the only way to fix that one is to reinstall in the right order. Note that the oblivion uninstaller leaves behind your saves, mods (data) and some entries in the Windows registry. These will still be there after you have reinstalled. So if You have a problem with a mod causing the problem or a bad save or a bad Registry entry, The problem may still be there.

 

My recommended uninstall and reinstall leaves you with a clean install. And your original mods and saves in a separate folder that you can put back into the new game. Or you can start over and install your mods again.

See this for my recommendation for uninstalling and reinstalling Oblivion. http://s1.zetaboards.com/TheStormRavenLibrary/topic/344290/

 

Please leave some feedback to let me know what works. Thanks

it would appear this link is broken: http://s1.zetaboards.com/TheStormRavenLibrary/topic/344290/

 

However, ive had a thought, would an unofficiel patch still work with the latest OBSE ?

I just checked the link, it is not broken, but that one requires you to register at the site. Here is a link to the same thing in a part of the site that does not require registration.

Note: the registration is intended to keep out the barbarians, such as spam bots.

And yes, OBSE works with the unofficial patches. And conversely, the unofficial patches work with OBSE. :thumbsup:

Awesome, so if i used the latest unoffiel patch would that still cause purple floor do you think?
