I have been playing modded Oblivion for years and have had many re-installs etc. In all this time I have been patching Oblivion with the v1.2.0416 SI version. I am sure I read on my original installation that if I had SI, I only needed to patch with the SI version.

As I am doing yet another re-install, I thought I would check a few installation threads for fresh ideas and came across:- 'Oblivion:Complete Installation Guide' by COSTESI. He catagorically states the need for both if running SI. Well actually he doesn't say both, just mentions the Oblivion version is essential not the SI version. I am just assuming that using his reasoning on the essential need for the original patch that as i also have SI, I will need both.

I don't doubt him as he appears very authoratative. Just looking for confirmation of this Graham Posts: 3489 Joined: Thu Jul 05, 2007 6:29 am.

Just looking for confirmation of this Graham Logic dictates that you should patch using the vanilla Oblivion patch since you don't have SI.

However both Oblivion GOTY and Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition is exactly the same version with one important difference and that's you only need 1st DVD to install the game including DirectX 9.0c not two discs, but you need 2nd DVD to install SI, KoTH since the 1st DVD is already a fully patched Oblivion 1.2.0416 5th Anniversary Edition. Furthermore you shouldn't uninstall either SI or KoTH if you choose to play without them instead just uncheck them in Data Files option in the game launcher according to the readme.

Oblivion 5th Anniversary Edition - Readme. The Elder Scrolls IV OBLIVION Version 1.2.0416. Index: 1. Known Issues and Troubleshooting 2.

Manual Errata and Addendum 3. Performance Tuning 4. System Requirements 5. Update 1.2.0416 Notes 6. Update 1.2.0214 Notes 7.

Update 1.1 Notes. 1. Known Issues and Troubleshooting.Uninstalling Shivering Isles Uninstalling Shivering Isles removes many files that are required by Oblivion to play. To play Oblivion after uninstalling Shivering Isles, you must first uninstall and reinstall Oblivion to properly replace the needed files.Installation Issue If you repeatedly uninstall and re-install Oblivion, certain systems will display an error message if you try to uninstall Oblivion again. To fix this, put your Oblivion disk in and run setup.exe. This will clear up the error and you can uninstall and reinstall the game.Saved Games Your saved games are located in your My Documents My Games Oblivion directory.Prior to Installing the Game Before attempting to install Oblivion, please verify that your computer meets system requirements.

We also recommend that you prepare your hard drive for installation by running ScanDisk and Disk Defragmenter prior to installation. These utilities are part of Windows? And can identify and resolve problems with your disk drive which could hinder installation and/or playing of the game. To launch these programs and optimize your hard disk drive: 1. Open 'My Computer'.

Right-click the disk drive you wish to install the game onto (usually C:). Click on 'Properties'.

Select the 'Tools' tab. Click 'Check Now' to launch Scandisk. When Scandisk has completed, follow steps 1-3 and click 'Defragment Now' to launch Disk Defragmenter. Note that defragmenting your disk drive can take a long time. It's a good idea to start disk defragmenter and let it run overnight.ATI Crossfire Performance on systems using ATI Crossfire will be reduced until ATI releases an updated driver with Oblivion listed as a Crossfire Compatible game.Error messages when launching Oblivion: This will appear as a missing dll error similar to 'd3dx927.dll not found.' This can be corrected by Exploring the Oblivion DVD. On the disk there is a folder named DXREDIST.

Open the folder and run the DXSETUP.exe. This will install the version of DirectX required to run Oblivion.Unable to make new saves If the Tab key is pressed while entering a name during character creation, a problem may occur when the game goes to write a save to the save location.

This is because the name of the character is included in the name of the save file used in Windows. This is most commonly a result of attempting to Alt-Tab out of the application during name entry.

If this occurs, autosaves and quicksaves will continue to function correctly, but saves made through the menu will not. The issue will be fixed if the Tab is deleted when renaming the character before exiting the sewer at the end of the character generation. The following may also be of assistance if the character has progressed beyond character generation: The player name can be changed through the console by pressing the ` (tilde) key, and entering the following: player.SetActorFullName 'Player Name' (where Player Name = the name of the character). Press RETURN, and then exit the console by pressing the tilde again. Also, saves can be made through the console by pressing the ` (tilde) key, and entering the following: save filename (where filename = the name of the save that you would like to make). Press RETURN, and then exit the console by pressing the tilde again.Input Problems Keyboard input problems could be the result of a control peripheral.

Windows 8.1 touch support works well. • Cons Needs better notation editing. Shop. No USB dongle required. Some disparate elements of the user interface remain.

Oblivion Patch 1.2

Editting the Oblivion.ini may correct this issue. The Oblivion.ini file is located in the My Documents My Games Oblivion directory. In the Controls section, change the “bUse Joystick=1” setting to “bUse Joystick=0” or simply disconnect the peripheral. Make sure the settings are saved. Note, changes to the Oblivion.ini file will not be saved if Oblivion in running when the changes are made.Frequent Crashing possibly due to old system file Some users may experience frequent crashing due to an older system file. These crashes may be attributed to the 'mpeg2dmx.ax' file. Simply renaming the file to 'mpeg2dmx.ax.old' may correct this issue.Frequent Crashing possibly due to connected HP printer A program related to HP printers may cause Oblivion to crash.

Before running Oblivion: Press Ctr-Alt-Del to bring up the task manager. Go to the Processes Tab. Right click on any process starting with the letters HP and select End. Running Oblivion at this point may have this issue corrected. Note: The PC will need to be restarted to reinitialize printing or imaging.' FF' icons in the system tray Some users have reported having numerous 'FF' icons in their taskbar during or after playing Oblivion.

These icons are from a seperate video/audio decoder you may have installed in the past called 'FFDShow.' This program is processing the sound files for Oblivion, which some users have reported slows down the game, and can leave the icons in their system tray. Simply moving the mouse over those icons will get rid of them after you stop playing Oblivion.

Uninstalling FFDShow can fix this, but it is NOT necessary. You can follow the steps below to tell FFDShow not to handle sound for Oblivion.

Instructions for disabling the FFDShow for Oblivion without fully removing it: 1. Click Start 2. Click 'All Programs' (or just Programs, depending on the version of Windows, whether they're using 'classic,' etc.) 3.

Go to the ffdshow folder. Click 'Audio decoder configuration.' In the left hand pane, click 'Info & debug.' This is the second entry in the list.

In the right hand pane, near the bottom, find a check box labelled 'Don't use ffdshow in:' 7. Check that box, and in the text box underneath (it lights up when you check the check box), add 'oblivion.exe' (don't include the quotes). If there is already something in that box, put a semi-colon (; ) after what's already there, and oblivion.exe after that.

Do NOT use spaces, since ffdshow will think that's part of the filename. A valid entry would be 'explorer.exe;oblivion.exe' (without quotes). Finally, click 'Ok' and start Oblivion.Game Pad Functionality Although the PC version of Oblivion handles best when played with a keyboard and mouse, it is possible to play the game with an assortment of game pads as well. Due to the variance in these game pads, it may be necessary to make a few changes to the Oblivion.ini file located in My Documents My Games Oblivion. Below is a list of the settings that can be changed to make a Xbox 360 controller attached to a PC, function better with Oblivion. It should be noted however, that because the PC version of the game was optimized to play with a keyboard and mouse, the experience will NOT be the same, as using a 360 controller on the Xbox 360 version of the game.

Additionally, these settings can be applied to other game pads, but the values represented may need to be tweaked further. Finally, the mapping of the buttons will need to be determined when entering the game, and can be changed in Options - Controls, from the Main Menu - Do NOT map the directional controls (Forward, Backward, Left, Right), as this will overwrite certain changes made in the Oblivion.ini file.
