Povuholo Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Are you using a 'no CD patch'? You'll need to replace it with the original oblivion.exe if you want to patch it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Povuholo Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Okay but did you download anything so you didn't need the CD anymore to start oblivion? If that's the case and you really can't figure it out, I think you should just reinstall oblivion again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scintoth Posted April 21, 2007 Author Share Posted April 21, 2007 sorry for the necro but i really need this problem to be solved - i cant use some of my mods because of this. ive done a fresh reinstall but i still cant patch, ive even tried taking all of my mods out of the folder, reinstalling and patching but i still get the error message "old file not found. something about a file like it, since file contents dont match, no patch was done.".

Second, what version of oblivion do you have? American, European, or some other localized version? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raikien -.- Posted April 21, 2007 Share Posted April 21, 2007 I had a similar problem when I first found teh d2d patch. My prob came from retex mods. What I did to fix it was use the mod manager went to utilities, archive Invalidation and hit reset to defaults. Dunno if it will work worth a try if you dont wanna reinstall, I might be missing something in there not sure tho this comp dont have oblivion or the manager.
