tawney Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 I tried downloading OBSE so I can run certain mods but it said I have an outdated version of Oblivion, so I tried patching it to v 1.2.0.416. The problem is when I try to patch from this site ( http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm ) it comes up with a message saying "Old file not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update since the contents do not match." I tried uninstalling, reinstalling, and then I tried to patch again but it said the same thing. I have the game of the year edition so it comes with Shivering Isles, but why am I unable to patch? I'm getting very frustrated with this because I only want to install OBSE, but I've went through so much just trying to get it to work. I'm about to give up, but there are so many great mods that I would love to use if I could just get this thing working for me. :wallbash: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megatarius Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 As far as I know GOTY is patched fully. What's the number on the bottom of the map scroll screen when you start the game? What version of OBSE are you trying to install? What do you mean "It said I have an outdated version"? OBSE's install is just a drag and drop. Does it give you this message when you try to run the game? I had this problem too, but I don't have GOTY, so I really did need to patch. I got Shivering Isles separately, installed it, and then tried to patch with the Oblivion official patch. It turned out that, since I had Shivering Isles, I needed to use the Shivering Isles patch only. Its name is misleading. You'd think it would be the "patch for Shivering Isles." It's actually "the patch for Oblivion with Shivering Isles." So you could try installing that patch. If you get the same message, I don't know what to say, other than you must be mistaken somewhere. If you have GOTY, it's patched. Sorry but, are you sure you have GOTY? Did you install OBSE correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFact Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 What do you mean "It said I have an outdated version"? Recent version of OBSE does not support older versions. Anyway, If you have GOTY, installing SI included will make your game version to 1.2.0416. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted April 8, 2010 Share Posted April 8, 2010 GOTY version is only patched when the Shivering Isles part is installed. Installing the Oblivion without SI leaves it unpatched. Once you install the SI it should be fully patched. - unless you got a pirate version :down: in which case you have no idea what you have. Or what you don't have.

Actually I'm not sure if it is the GOTY edition after all because it's the combo one. It has Bioshock and Oblivion but down at the bottom it says "Winners of over 80 Game of the Year Awards Combined". So does that mean it's a GOTY edition? I'm really confused right now... I hope you can help. By the way, if it isn't a GOTY, does that mean I just install the regular patch? Which patch was it that OBSE isn't compatible with? :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
