strongboy90 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 I've got the steam version of oblivion and I use mostly OBMM for modding, most of the mods I install come out fine but a few (OOO, Shezries Towns) are missing a bunch of meshes for some reason. I don't think any of the mods i'm using with them are conflicting, i've tried the archive invalidation thing on OBMM but it doesn't seem to be helping at all. Please if anyone knows of a way to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smooth613 Posted January 2, 2011 Share Posted January 2, 2011 Missing Resources | Scroll down to the Pink or Missing Textures Section. You likely need Archive Invalidation. TESIV:POSItive -- Excellent resource site loaded with information for the beginner to advanced user. Other possibilities are improper mod installation and Operating System related problems for Windows Vista and Windows 7 Users. The following does not apply to Windows XP users. Window 7 Related problems, etc... | Are you using Windows 7 or Vista? Did you install Oblivion to the default directory of Program Files? If you answered yes to to both then you are likely experiencing, or will experience problems due to UAC, Windows security. Windows doesn't like it when an application, program, or even the user, attempts to alter files in a protected directory. UAC sees this a potential security threat and treats it as a malicious attack and blocks the action from happening. To prevent this you need to install Oblivion outside the jurisdiction of UAC, to an unprotected directory. A popular and suitable location is <drive letter>:\Games\Oblivion. For information on proper installation I suggest you follow Bben's Reinstall Procedure. If that's not the case then you have either improperly installed the mods, therefor needing to completely uninstall and reinstall the mods properly according to the ReadMe, or you need to activate, or update, Archive Invalidation. You might also want to read the section about Pink or Missing Textures Section. Virtual Store – Win 7 & Vista | Windows is basically ghosting your files since you installed to Program Files. UAC doesn't like it when files are altered in anyway and sees this as a security threat. This is why you should always install Oblivion outside of Program Files to a directory such as <drive letter>:\Games\Oblivion. Windows is storing the files in the VirtualStore, located at <drive letter>:\Users\<username>\AppData\VirtualStore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
