How to improve game performance?

This issue is discussed in this thread:
Increasing performance, optimizing the game.

I heard that Nvidia has released a dedicated driver for Oblivion, where can I get it?

Download nVidia 84.25 "Oblivion" Forceware Beta here (21.45MB).

Where can I get the TES4: Construction Set?

The constructor is not included in the game !!! It must be downloaded separately:
Download from here. (6.5 Mb)

How to choose the constellation under which the character was born?

When you overtake Uriel Septim and his guards during the jailbreak, he will ask you about the constellation so you can choose.

How to choose a character class?

After the death of the emperor, his guard will ask you a question about the class, then you can choose the class you like.

Is it possible to change the class, race, constellation?

You can, before leaving the prison sewer, the game will offer you to change all the character settings (race, class, constellation)

The main control keys in TES IV: Oblivion

W, A, S, D - Forward, Back, Left, Right
E - Jump
Space - Use, Grab Item
Shift - Run / Walk
From - Witchcraft
Left Mouse Click - Hit
Right Mouse Click - Block

How do I throw items out of inventory?

SHIFT + Left Mouse Click (default)

CRC error. How to be?

Description: Installation failed with CRC error.
Possible solution: Disable DMA support of your CD / DVD drive.

To do this, do the following:
1. Right-click on the "My Computer" icon, select properties. Further steps depend on the OS you have installed.
A. Win9x users should select "DEVICES", then open "CD-ROM drives" and select DVD drive. Open the properties of this device, select Configure and uncheck "DMA". Click OK.
Q. Win2000 / XP users should select: Hardware -> Device Manager-> IDE ATA / ATAPI controllers. Open Properties -> Primary / Secondary IDE Channel (depending on which channel your DVD is on). Next go to Advanced settings. Set Transfer mode to PIO Only (do this for both channels if you are not sure which one contains the DVD).
2. Reboot the computer for the changes to take effect.
3. Install the game.
4. Restore the original DVD device settings and restart your computer.

In general, if this error has become your companion, then the problem is in the drive, it is worth replacing / repairing it. If not, exchange the disc.

The game requires a disc, how can I start the game?

Solution: licensed version - insert dvd into the drive and don't rack your brains; pirate - download no DVD (2.51 mb)
Replace the exe file with the one in the archive and run it.

A message like "d3dx9_27.dll not found" appears.

Description: above message and OK button. The game won't start.
Solution: Oblivion DVD has a dxredist folder. Run the DirectX installation, the version required for Oblivion. (dxsetup.exe) Or take DirectX from here.

How can I see the number of frames per second?

Turning on the console ~ (tilde, where the letter is)
command - tdt
30 frames per second is considered the optimal value. Change the resolution to 800x600 or 640x480 for a more comfortable game.

What settings would you recommend for a weak computer?

- Disable anti-alasing
- Change the texture size to medium or small
- unload all processes running on behalf of the user, leaving only system. Antivirus First!
- Disable the softness of shadows (Shadows / Shadow Filtering)
- Install the latest drivers on the video card:

Nvidia: the
version of ForceWare 84.25 drivers is "sharpened" specifically for Oblivion.

ATI:

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 is MANDATORY!

Objects in the distance don't look correct, textures are blurry ... what to do?

In oblivion.ini we change the trace. parameters:
uNumDepthGrids = 1
uGridsToLoad = 10

Sound "stuttering" during battles and terrain exploration.

If you have Vodei Multimedia Processor installed, uninstall it. It is also worth deleting VobSub ...
If it does not help, rename the Oblivion / Data / Music / Battle folder until better times (patch release).

"Stuttering" of NPC voices

Change the trace in oblivion.ini. lines:

bDSoundHWAcceleration = 0
bUseSoftwareAudio3D = 1
And change it too
bUse Joystick = 0

Total glitches that defy description

Q: The game just crashes, bugs after a certain period of time.
A: 99% of the fact that the Codec Packs are to blame here ...
First, rename this file X: WINDOWS system32 mpeg2dmx.ax to mpeg2dmx.ax.old ... helps many to get rid of periodic crashes.
Better yet, remove all existing codec packs, such as k-lite.

Here's what it says about codecs:
Generally you only need 2 codecs to play 99% of video files, xvid (which includes divx) and AC3 (for dolby digital sound, often used in xvid files).
(excluding real and quicktime files, those you generally need to install thier players to play) in
total you need two codecs for this game:
- xvid codec (this one is ok to install and includes support for divx): http: //www.koepi .org / xvid.shtml
- AC3 (this one is ok to install, its for sound):

http://ac3filter.sourceforge.net/

here are direct links to download the latest versions:
http://www.koepi.org/XviD -1.1.0-30122005.exe

Well, where is the opponents' lifebar during the battle?

By default, the opponent's life arc should appear above the crosshair. If it is not available, then change it in the Oblivion.ini file (My Documents My Games Oblivion) ​​bHealthBarShowing = 0 to bHealthBarShowing = 1

Where are my saves

Located in My Documents My Games Oblivion

Some problems with the keyboard

Editing Oblivion. ini (My Documents My Games Oblivion). In the [Controls] section, change "bUse Joystick = 1" to "bUse Joystick = 0" or simply disable peripherals.

The system swaps (crashes into the system with the inscription "not enough virtual memory")

Set the swap size = Ram * 1.5 ...
If you have 1.5-2 Gb of RAM, then the use of the paging file can be disabled.

How do I make screenshots in the game?

Open oblivion.ini and change "bAllowScreenShot = 0" from 0 to 1. The screen is made using the Shift + Print Screen combination, and then inserted into Paint ...
In general, this is not the case, download Fraps and do not suffer
http: // www .playground.ru / files / 7006 /

How do I turn off music?

Change the parameter "bMusicEnabled = 1" to "bMusicEnabled = 0" in the oblivion.ini file

How do I drop a weapon or item from the inventory?

Shift + click on the weapon or "grab" with the mouse and then throw it out of the inventory.

How to enter the Dark Brotherhood?

Just kill some NPC (it is desirable that the guards did not see you, it is better to do it in his house), after that an inscription appears in the upper left corner that your murder was noticed by strangers. Then find a bed and go to sleep. The assassin will wake you up. in a black robe and a hood and will offer to join the Brotherhood.

In the graphics options of the game, you cannot simultaneously set the HDR (high dynamic range) and AA (antialiasing) effect. Is there some way to enable them at the same time?

Ideally, the Radeon x1900 supports this feature ... but if you do not have an x1900, then proceed as follows: set HDR in the game settings, and AA in the video card driver settings.

Lockpicks:
Be sure to save before hacking. The bottom line is that you need to move all the pins up. Hover over the pin, click with the mouse, and then click again when the pin is still at the top. The main thing is to calculate when to make the second click. If you calculated correctly, the pin will lock in the upper position and you can move on to the next one. The lock will open when all the pins are removed.

Persuasion:
Move the mouse over one of the four sectors of the circle of persuasion and look at the person being convinced how much he likes this or that sector. The task is to click on the sectors that he likes when they have the maximum yellow scale and click on the sectors that he does not like when they have a minimum scale (this is ideal).

HOW TO CLOSE THE GATE TO OBLIVION?

To close the gate, you need to climb to the very top of the Great Black Tower (by the way, getting into it is not always easy). At the very top, a beautiful pebble jumps up on a pillar of fire. It must be taken with ... in short. By the way, the pebble allows you to enchant the armor on the constant effect on the spot or the weapon on the effect on impact. But only the one that lies in this pebble.

By the way. To lay out the main quest line?

Why doesn't my 9600SE / FX5200 support HDR? I played with him in NFS: MW etc ???
Everything you've seen in NFS: MW and other games - THIS IS NOT HDR - this is a special effect similar to HDR - Overbright!
Hardware normal HDR is supported only on the following video cards:
GeForce 6xxx series
GeForce 7xxx series
Radeon X1xxx series
Or, more simply, on video cards supporting Pixel / Vertex Shaders 3.0.

How do I turn off intro and game title cuts in the menu?

Editing Oblivion.ini (My Documents My Games Oblivion):
In the [General] section, change "SMainMenuMovieIntro = Oblivion iv logo.bik" to "SMainMenuMovieIntro =" And also "SIntroSequence = bethesda softworks HD720p.bik, 2k games.bik , game studios.bik, Oblivion Legal.bik ", to" SIntroSequence = ".
Now the launch of the game is faster and without having to use the keys to skip the video.

How (from whom) can I pump Mana (Life count)
NPCs do not raise attributes (strength, intelligence, speed) only skills (heavy armor, destruction, blades) if you want the next level to have a bonus to intelligence (affecting the count -in mana), then you need to improve skills, both basic and secondary, for which intelligence is controlling (for example, alchemy, mysticism), the more different skills you raise to a greater number of levels, the greater the bonus to intelligence (max +5) when moving to the next level (if you choose it one of the three raised of course).

How to run the game on video cards without shader 2.0 support?

You need to download two files: Oblivion.ini and a small patch. Replace the original Oblivion.ini with the downloaded one (don't forget about the backup copy) and install the patch.

I played Morrowind a little, right now I want to play Oblivion, so what worries me is: are all Elder Scrolls somehow related to the plot? the world? territorially?
Tied by the world and geographically. In Oblivion, you can walk to the border with Morrowind and read that you can't go there.

Question: Why, in the game there is no concept of right / left hand / shoulder pad? And then in Morra it was possible to "make" an iron hand, but here not ma. I want my own style.

Answer: Break off! In the current game, there are sets (sometimes you come across a set of armor in one thing (for example: Arena armor)). We are waiting with stylish armor.

Question: What's better: HDR or Bloom with anti-aliasing?

Answer: Better HDR with anti-aliasing! On cards that do not support HDR, set Bloom with anti-alliance. The effect is slightly worse than HDR, but still beautiful!
