femnerevarine Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I'm having issues I don't like, that have to do with the future patches evidently, so I tried to install the newest patch but it won't work. Every time I've gotten the "Old file not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since the file contents do not match." message. -The patch I'm trying to install is the one "http://download.zenimax.com/elderscrolls/oblivion/patches/1.2/Oblivion_v1.2.0416English.exe" gives you. -I am using, and installing from, a very old Oblivion cd, and a recently ordered accompanying Shivering Isles cd. Not sure if apart they're different versions, but the running version of Oblivion + SI is 1.2.0201. -I have not been installing other, earlier patches, and never have been. I don't know if an incompatible patch is included in one of my discs, or how to know that.-I have completely uninstalled both things, removing any remnants of the game, and reinstalled them (oblivion, then SI, then patch) to get the same error.-I am running on a Cyberpower PC with Windows 10. Not sure what other information is relevant, I'm really sorry. I can provide more if requested.-(I have my saves backed up in a safe place.) Not the end of the world if it's not fixed, it's not causing anything unbearable. But I would appreciate help and advice. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forli Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Probably you're trying to install the Oblivion v1.2 patch (which is already included in Shivering Isles), and you need the Shivering Isles v1.2 patch instead. Follow this procedure:First, uninstall everything, delete the Oblivion folder and the Oblivion.ini (if any) in Documents/My games/Oblivion Install Oblivion Install Shivering Isles. When you install Shivering Isles, it already include the Oblivion v1.2 patch (but not the Shivering Isle v1.2 patch). Install the Shivering Isles patch v1.2 from http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/11364/?. There are 4 main downloads: 2 are only readme, one is the Oblivion v1.2 patch (you don't need this, because of point 3) and one is the Shivering Isles patch v1.2 (you need to download and install only this one).

bben46 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 I haven't seen that in a while. Just in case Forli's fix doesn't do it for you here is a link to my old complete Oblivion uninstall/Reinstall procedure. :thumbsup: http://s1.zetaboards.com/bbenlibrary/topic/4308533/1/#new Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
femnerevarine Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 It worked! It didn't fix the little cosmetic issue I wanted to change, but I can live with that. Thank you both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
