jedimarine Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 So I installed OBMM, i thought without a hitch. when I went to launch it, I get an error saying it needs to be installed to Oblivions base directory and that if I have moved or renamed "oblivion_default.ini", I need to replace it. well... 1. it did install to the base directory 2. there is no such thing as "oblivion_default.ini" on my machine...now "Oblivion.ini" resides in the detached "My Games" folder in the My Doc section. I'm running XP SP3. This can't be unusual, but I haven't found an answer yet. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jedimarine Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 I did...I found another trouble shooting thread where you recommended that. But still get the same error...I've also attempted a manual installation. Is there supposed to be an "oblivion_default.ini"? Because I do not have one.

jedimarine Posted November 4, 2009 Author Share Posted November 4, 2009 Alright...I believe I found a solution...if someone sees an issue, please comment. I believe my "oblivion_default.ini" got axed when I first got the game many weeks ago...I was attempting to deal with the FOV issue, and I believe the guide I found had you delete the default ini so it couldn't reset an altered value. Anyway...I've since overcome this problem...and since from what I read, the Oblivion_default.ini is copied to make the oblivion.ini...and I have not altered oblivion.ini permanently...I just copied it back to the oblivion base folder, renamed it "oblivion_default.ini"...installed OBMM...and BAM! Success. Hopefully that's all it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branimirzg Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 oblivion_default. should be in main oblivion folder where oblivion exe is. If you have done fresh install...try starting new game Maybe it's created when you launch game for first time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
