bben46 Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 There are actually 2 oblivion.ini files. One where you would expect, in the C:Program files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion. This is not the one you need to back up. The other one is in the same place as the save files, C:\Documents and settings\user name\My Documents\my games\oblivionThis is the one you want. To back it up, just copy it into another folder. Create a new folder in the \My games\ folder call it something like \Oblivion backup(you may want to wipe out the \oblivion folder at some time) Then copy - do not move the oblivion.ini found into it.

Smosh Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Er...are we talking Oblivion or Fallout 3 here? Sorry if that sounds smartarse but I'd hate for the new guy to get confused. Just transpose the word Oblivion with Fallout3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
