Ground

[Rethicus]

After I installed Oblivion and started playing it, after I left the City Sewers, the wilderness ground became blue and the funny thing is that it's made by aerial zone maps of the game. For example, if I'm near the Imperial City, the willderness ground will be formed by aerial maps of the Imperial City... if I travel to Chorrol, it will be Chorrol maps and so on.

I've uninstalled the game and installed it again, but it's all the same.

I've placed some mods (race and house mod), bu even if I uncheck them in the data files, the problem still appears.

A little help please? :wallbash: :confused:

This seems to be a fairly common bug. I have seen several threads about it. Try searching through the forum to see what other members have been able to do.

 

If there is nothin helpful there, you may need to do a clean install.

 

Uninstalling Oblivion doesn't really uninstall the entire thing. It leaves behind several files such as your save game file, Oblivion.ini file, your /data file and some registry entries.

 

From my experience, the registry entries don't matter. But the others do.

 

Since you are just starting the game you probably don't need to worry about losing your saved games. But your data file has all of your installed mods in it.

 

These instructions assume you are using the default path and running WinXP. the path is slightly different on Vista.

 

To save the data file with all of your mods, go to C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\Data.

Rename the /data folder to something like oldata.

 

To get rid of the folder that has your saved games go to C:\Documents and settings\your name\My Documents\My Games\Oblivion

Delete the /Oblivion folder - this removes all of your saved games and your Oblivion.ini.

 

When you reinstall, It will create new files to replace the ones you deleted and a new data file for the one you renamed.

 

Then when you reinstall, first install the oblivion from the original disk. Then, before installing anything else, SI or mods start the game and make a save. This allows Oblivion to initialize everything that needs to be initialized when you start , Then, if you use SI, install SI. again start the game and make a save.

 

Now, download the latest patch - If you use SI, ONLY use the latest SI patch and not the oblivion patch. If you do NOT use SI, only use the latest Oblivion patch. you can get them here: http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm

 

Again, after installing the patch - only one - Start the game and make a save.

 

Now you should be at the beginning of the game with no mods. Now, go back to the new data folder (Oblivion/Data) and rename it to something like Newdata. Then rename the oldata back to data.

 

Now you should have all of your mods back. If one of them is a problem, you can always go back to the newdata.

 

If you don't want to go back through the training dungeon again, Try one of the mods that allows you to start somewhere else such as Alternative start Arrive by Ship: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=11495

 

Sounds like a lot of work, but it should leave you with a clean install.

 

Good luck
