Whiskers9991 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) I downloaded a directX update since it was required for OBGE. before I downloaded the update, launching the game would bring a message saying that d3d9_43.dll or something like that was missing. downloading the update fixed that, but now I cant play the game because I can't see the cursor or the title screen in Oblivion :ohdear: does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix this? Im running Win8, DX11 thanks Edited January 20, 2013 by Whiskers9991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talveren Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Try turning your graphics settings down. Also, make sure the resolution is correct. All of these are in Options. Edited January 20, 2013 by talveren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Striker879 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Try renaming your Oblivion.ini (NOT Oblivion_default.ini). You will find it in 'Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\Oblivion' (at least that's the location for Vista and Windows 7). Change the name to Oblivionini.old (leaving it in the same folder you found it) and then start the game as far as the menu screen. Exit the game and restart (you may need to reset your video options, as Oblivion doesn't do a very good job of recognizing video cards that hadn't even been dreamed of when the game was last updated).

Whiskers9991 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 that seems to have solved the problem. Thanks to both of you. :sweat: can I delete the oblivionini.old file? feels like clutter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Striker879 Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 (edited) Yes you can. I tend to be a packrat, so I have Oblivionini.old1, Oblivionini.old2 ... (but I can't remember the last time I needed one of those 'backups of a backup'). - Edit - Native resolution of your monitor is the best one to use (looks best and will run the smoothest). That is if you are not using an old CRT monitor. Edited January 21, 2013 by Striker879 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiskers9991 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 alright. Im a packrat too in that case - I've got over 14 data folder backups :thumbsup: thanks again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
