Plz help: white weapons

[markko]

I had Oblivion (no Shivering Isles) with patch 1.1 and everyting was fine, then, I decided to patch to 1.2 (official patch). I noticed problems with mods and I wanted to go back to 1.1; to avoid unistalling and reinstalling Oblivion, I decided to overwrite the 1.2 patched Oblivion.exe with the 1.1 from a backup. I found it was a bad idea when I tried to load previous saved games; I was given this error: the saved game contains reference to objects that are no longer present. As a result, all the weapons I have turned of a brilliant white (in the inventory they look ok), but they work as usual.

 

I have the following mods: Mountain Tower, Quest Award Leveller and Kobu's Character Advancement System.

 

Please do you have any suggestion to have normal weapons back?

Is this the problem you're having? It doesn't sound to be, but worth a shot.

Yes, the graphic effect is the same, but I have this problem also with non-enchanted weapons.

From the replies to the post linked, I'm afraid I'll have to uninstall-reinstall the whole thing :(

I already backed up my saves; do I need to backup other files to avoid losing my progress in the game?

Also, since I do not have Shivering Isles, can I keep the patch 1.1 without worring about the FormID bug?

 

Thanks for help

I uninstalled and reinstalled Oblivion, applied 1.1 patch, reloaded old saved games and everything is fine. ;D

 

As I mentioned before, can I remain to patch 1.1 without worring about FormID reference bug (I don't have Shivering Isles) ?

 

Thanks for informations.

The FormID bug is only on Shivering Isles. As long as you don't have Shivering Isles, you don't have to worry.
