bben46 Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Are you using any mods? What version? Do you have Shivering Isles? Where is it installed? As you say it ran before, did you install to a different location? Go here to see if your computer can run the game (does not check for oldblivion, only the standard game) You will find Oblivion listed as 'The Elder Scrolls IV, OblivionFallout3 as Fallout3 PC http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/referrer/srtest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bben46 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 If you check on that site I gave it will let you know if you can run the game - or almost any game. Oblivion is a resource hog and runs poorly on older computers, however many of them can be inexpensively upgraded to run much better. The 'Can You Run It' site will tell you where the weaknesses are and give us an idea on what can be done. Oldblivion is a program that will allow Oblivion to run on older systems with graphics cards that are not supported. It will not make much difference if your problem is not one of the supported video cards. It's not new (2006) and has not been updated in quite a while. Here is the home page: http://www.oldblivion.com/index.php The most common problem when a patch fails is using the wrong patch. If you do not have SI, do not use the SI patch, only use the oblivion only patch with this version number v1.2.0146. If you have installed the SI patch, or a patch for a different language version, you must reinstall the game before using the right patch as patches are not reversible. Don't download from a torrent as you don't know what you are really getting - Go here for the free official patches: http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
