Fonger Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 couple of issues here first - if you are re-installing, install Shivering Isles before the 1.2.0416 patch - then install only the SI 1.2.0416 patch second - the pop-up doesn't always happen, but if SI is properly installed the island in the bay always shows up if the island is not there - SI simply isn't installed.(Revenge of UAC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Go adventuring. The SI plugin can take time to initialise -- usually days on my setup. Having timescale anything other than 30 will also affect when it jumps in. In short, you don't have a problem from your description. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Like Hickory said, the message may not appear for several game days. Look for the island. Like Fonger said, you MUST install SI before any patches. :confused: BTW, if you have the GOTY edition the latest patch is included ON THE SI INSTALL! and not the Oblivion install. For some obscure reason, The non SI patch for Oblivion is not compatible with the SI patch with the same version number http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f351/charonn0/ohgeez-1.gifWhen trying to install the SI patch after the Oblivion patch you will probably get an error. In that case you will probably have to reinstall everything. :wallbash: Here is a link to my complete uninstall/reinstall procedure located in the articles section of the Nexushttp://www.tesnexus.com/articles/article.php?id=240 It allows you to preserve any saves and mods, or remove them completely - your choice.

aq21 Posted January 20, 2011 Author Share Posted January 20, 2011 ya, im just going to try again and reinstall everything again,,,So my 1st attempt was I installed the base game and then the patch,and i installed SI and tried to run the patch for SI and got the "old file" error deal and patch did not install, So what todo?

Qwaxalot Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 After uninstalling the game, reinstall in this order: NON GOTY VERSION:1. Oblivion (non GOTY Version)2. The Shivering Isles (if you have it)3. Install the v1.2.0416 patch for your version of the game (If you only have Oblivion get the Oblivion version of the patch, if you have the Shivering Isles, get the Shivering Isles version of the patch)4. Unofficial Oblivion Patch5. Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch (If you installed Shivering Isles)6. Official DLC plugins (either Downloaded or The KOTN (Knights Of The Nine) disc.7. Unofficial Official Mods Patch GOTY VERSION1. Disc 1 (Oblivion)2. Disc 2 (Shivering Isles and KOTN) Updates Oblivion to current version, does NOT include any of the Official plug ins (DLC's)3. Unofficial Oblivion Patch4. Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch5. Official DLC's (If you have them)6. Unofficial Official Mods Patch I STRONGLY RECOMMEND that you install the Unofficial Oblivion Patch, Unofficial Shivering Isles Patch (if you have the Shivering Isles) and the Unofficial Official Mods Patch (if you have any of the official DLC plugins).
