Whiskers9991 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I live in the UK but I've got the US version of Oblivion and therefore the US latest patch. I'm wondering if I could install the PAL version of Shivering Isles? Also could I run the game on a PAL disc? Or would I have to install the PAL latest patch? does it even make a difference? would I have to somehow uninstall the US patch and then install the UK one? or would that require a reinstall?

Nephenee13 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Ahhh...computers don't use NTSC or PAL. At all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskers9991 Posted December 15, 2012 Author Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) but I had to use the US patch, since the UK one didnt work for my US copy of the game so id need a US copy of shivering isles then?

PAL and NTSC are colour coding systems for *television*; nothing to do with computers or computer games. Shivering Isles comes in one flavour only -- there is only one English (UK/US) patch for it.

Hickory Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 right. silly me so there wont be any problems with using UK shivering isles with my US copy? As far as I am aware, there was only one English version (US) of SI released for the PC -- the only regional versions released were for XBOX Live.

bben46 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I think the reason for US/UK versions was primarily language. UK & US English are not precisely the same - but close enough where one patch worked for Shivering Isles. Using, for instance, a German version of a patch would have German replacing some of the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskers9991 Posted December 16, 2012 Author Share Posted December 16, 2012 If I bought the 5th anniversary edition would I have to worry about the patches? would reverting to the default version require a reinstall? or is there another way to do it? bben I read your post on properly reinstalling oblivion some time ago...wouldnt want to do that again if I dont have to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hickory Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 If I bought the 5th anniversary edition would I have to worry about the patches? No, because the 5th Anniversary Edition comes with Shivering Isles, and was released in Sept. 2011, so will be fully patched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
