Molakini Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 OK, here's the deal. I have oblivion with SI, no mads or patches. Currenty i have two characters and decided to start another new game. My main character was level 18. The new character Played fine, saved my game and shut down the computer. I went to play again the next day and my level 18 character is gone, I only have a game save at level 11 and 10. The other characters seem to all be there. How many character/games can you have? I went into the save files and still cannot find the games. Any suggestions or do i just start from here? Molakini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Well, at one point I had at least 50, so I doubt there's a limit to the number of saves you can have. Are you using any mods? If you are, it's quite possible (even likely) that one of them could be causing the problem. Finally, if you go to your Oblivion directory (usually C:/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion), and look for a file called Programflow.txt, that might help with the problem. (If you can't find it, try going to the Oblivion launcher, clicking 'Technical Support', and then the 'Warnings' tab.) If there are any errors in that file, then post them here, they may have something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molakini Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I do not have or use any mods. I was unable to locate the file you were talking about, but did find the warning tab. When i clicked the tab the feild was empty. it could not find the programflow.txt. It then asks if i wanted to create one. Should i create one? Thanks for the replyMolakini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 No, if it can't find it, that means the game hasn't HAD any errors yet... I honestly don't know what the problem is... unless... you DO have the latest patch for SI, don't you? Because there is a known bug with the unpatched version which somehow stops you being able to play after a certain amount of time, or something... I'm not sure of the details, because I don't use SI, but that might be worth looking into. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molakini Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 I don't have any patches, is there one for SI i should find and install? Molakini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molakini Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 Once i find the patch and download it will the patch automaticaly install or is ther something special i need to do? Molakini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTerminator2004 Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Go here: http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm You want Shivering Isles patch1.2.0416. It's just an ordinary .exe file, its easy to install. You won't be able to get the old save game back though, this will just stop it from ever happening again. If this bug is even the problem.
