Tiberiu911 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 In order to benefit the bug fixes and 1.1 mods, I downloaded the 1.1.5 blah blah English Updater. For some reason though, it doesnt does anything, It stays there at 0%. Processing data/oblivion - textures - compressed.bsa It says alow 20 minutes for it but still nothing happens. The program finishes as Not Responding. Anyone have an idea of why this is happening? I though it was because I have an import edition of the game, bought it off Ebay a while ago. Installation is in russian, but the game is in english. So i figured it might work. But it doesnt and it pisses me off since I was going to buy Mehrunes Razor official mod >.<! Can anyone tell me whats wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 It takes a long time for it to install. Often it stays at 0% for 15 minutes and then speeds up. If you defrag your drives before updating it'll go a bit faster. Make sure you don't do anything while it's updating. And may I suggest the Unofficial Patch? It makes the official patch look silly, with over 600 bugs that weren't fixed by the final official patch (you will still need it though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cryocry Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Often it stays at 0% for 15 minutes Oh yeah? It took Oblivion about 30 seconds for me to update! That's it! Tiberiu, is your computer a good one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have a decent computer. So that surely isnt the reason... It takes a long time for it to install. Often it stays at 0% for 15 minutes and then speeds up. If you defrag your drives before updating it'll go a bit faster. Make sure you don't do anything while it's updating. Thank You! I will try that right away. I must say that I have about 6++ Gig of mods in my data file. That might influence the speed. I never though of the possibility that it would remain frozen for 15 min though! I will try both the North American version and the European version (since the box seems to be in Russian/Ukraine (spelling?). ) EDIT: European version worked. I have version 1.1 yay! Many thanks to all who helped me on this. Im happy now, I can finally test my Mehrunes Razor mod ^^. I have one small ichy bit question though. I heard that the 1.1 patch made several mods stop working. Could anyone shed some light on that issue for me please? EDIT #2: Allright... Another problem. The updater says my game was updated succesfully... Although when I went in the Oblivion file, Oblivion.exe was still 1.0 . WHAT THE bunnies? I noticed this because I got no living sign of Mehrunes Razor or Vile Lair... What went wront now... Il try to re-update the game and see if theres some changes. Until then anyone's got a clue of whats happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the options in the oblivion launcher. Has anything changed? The patch added this:Updated Oblivion LauncherThe updated launcher now includes options for changing your auto detect settings for Video Quality. The presents are Very Low, Low, Medium, High and Ultra High. If you select Reset to Defaults, it will restart the auto detect and offer the best settings for your system.I have one small ichy bit question though. I heard that the 1.1 patch made several mods stop working. Could anyone shed some light on that issue for me please?The first versions of some mods that were made before the patch was released (LOD landscape replacements for example) wouldn't work with the official patch installed. You would just see the old textures again. But all those mods have been updated so I don't think there is any mod left that doesn't work with V1.1.

Tiberiu911 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 Well I figured it out. Im never going to buy an import edition of any game anymore. I was getting the "Old file not found. However a file of the same name has been found. No update was taken blah blah" error for Oblivion.exe and Oblivion Launcher.exe . At first I though it was something with modding, but I quickly realised what was wrong. The game I bought on Ebay came with dvd-cracked Oblivion.exe and Oblivion Lancher.exe (I never noticed they where cracked since I always played with dvd inside). So the game didnt update those two for me. I searched the disk but I couldnt find the original extensions, so I asked people for it. I received Oblivion.exe 1.1.511 from a friend, and it worked (the game updated everything alse except .oblivion.exe and launcher.exe). Im beggining to wonder if this copy was pirated, however you cant sell pirated files on ebay... It sure looks legit, but these days... I'm going to have to search high and low for the updated version of oblivion launcher.exe, since Ultra high interesses me. I dont know if this is illegal in any way (I did bought the game after all, and I never asked for it to be cracked), but could someone perhaps send me a copy of his (non cracked) oblivion Launcher.exe? If distrubuting that extension upsets the staff in any way, I will delete this paragraph. However Im asking for the legit one, so it should not be considered as illegal :happy: . (never mind, Puvuholo offered a different solution) But at least, I can play Mehrunes Razor official mod now ^^. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Povuholo Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I'm going to have to search high and low for the updated version of oblivion launcher.exe, since Ultra high interesses me.Well those new buttons you can click on are nothing more than a quick change of the graphical options you can manually change in the game. If you would click on Ultra High it would simply turn all the options to the maximum, which you can easily do yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiberiu911 Posted October 14, 2006 Author Share Posted October 14, 2006 If you would click on Ultra High it would simply turn all the options to the maximum, which you can easily do yourself. Ah I though it added aditional graphics and such. Well that solves my Oblivion Launcher.exe problem, since I wont be needing it anymore. Thanks Povuholo (such a hard to remember name :P U's and O's ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogster Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 No update was taken blah blah" error for Oblivion.exe and Oblivion Launcher.exe . Yeah, that'll happen if you use the wrong patch, but getting your friends executables will have probably fixed it. The patch took about 10 minutes for me, and I'm using a 3GHz Dual Core :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redcloud Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Sorry 'bout bumping this one. but i have a similar problem.Only that when i'm installing 1.1 it stops on "OblivionLaunch.exe" and says "Old file not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No uppdate done since file contents do not match." How can i fix this? i downloaded the patch from the official Elder Scrolls website. Thanks in advance // Redcloud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
