shamane55 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I have a German copy of Oblivion. I used to be able to play on English, but I forgot what exactly I did in order to achieve that. Now I reinstalled because my game was crashing all the time, and it is all back to German. I can not find anything that will help me change it to English :/ The oblivion_default.ini language setting does not do anything when I set it to 0 value :/ Any help? Are there any mods or something? Because I had a perfect flawlessly English game beforehand :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredTetzlaff Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Hi,if you are having the steam version this might be possible through steam settings and redownload, not sure.For the retail disk versions you are out of luck, there is no legal way of changing the language for those.But the the english GOTY is not that expensive these days :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamane55 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 The problem is I live in Austria, so all I can get is the German version >_< I am sure I had it changed before though... is OOO's mod capable of completely changing the language, since I had it installed on English and I am sure it adds a lot of content on English (I now have Fran's, so half my game is English >_<) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlfredTetzlaff Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 I got mine (GOTY UK version) from gameware.at. I'm from germany btw :)OOO changes a lot but it will still be a mixup I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maskar Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 OOO does indeed not replace a whole lot. You would do better installing OWC - New Dimension, which replaces a lot more, but still not everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamane55 Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Found out today that I actually have an English version too :P Found it too, but it's missing Disc 1 (has Disc 2, since it's Game of the Year Edition). Been looking for the first disc for maybe 2 and a half hours now, still no luck :'( FML (so far maybe 8 hours spent on reinstalling oblivion >_<) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted October 25, 2011 Share Posted October 25, 2011 Just as an FYI ... don't edit the file Oblivion_default.ini located in the Oblivion folder of your game install. That's the file that the game uses to create your Oblivion.ini file (which is located in Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\Oblivion for Vista and Windows 7 or Documents and Settings\[username]\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion for Windows XP) on first install, and re-create it when you are having trouble that can be resolved by generating a new ini file. All ini editing is done on the file Oblivion.ini, located where noted above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Brasher Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 (edited) You can buy anything over the Internet. You could order a copy of English Oblivion from the United Kingdom or someplace and have it shipped to Germany. A CD-ROM is so small and light that the postage would be no big deal, even if you had it shipped from America.
