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

How to become invisible?
in order for you to have a permanent invisibility effect (chameleon), you must enchant your armor with a chameleon so that the effect in total is more than 100% if 100 then you can still be seen. Invisibility is good only if you are fighting enemies. If you fight with friendly NPCs, they will run away like enemies. Just like the enemies, they will never return to their original position, and in order to complete the next quest, you may have to run around the entire province
How to get stronger without spending a lot of money?
In order to be strong, we need certain enchantments, but they are expensive, we know this, which is why the Sigil stones were created in the plans of Oblivion.
At the initial levels, all the monsters there are weak and it will be easy to get to the cherished stone.
+ the stone is that it can be used both on weapons and on armor. choose the right stones. throw stones with bad effects. After such enchantments of gear, the devil himself is not afraid of you!
Free buffs
on the Kyrodiil map are scattered around 9 altars belonging to the 1st of 9i. Visit as many of these altars as possible and in the chapels of any city (if you are not guilty of anything) you will receive the blessings of these saints. Some of them are very useful and last quite a long time.

The more you use skills, the more points you get for it at a new level. For example, if you jumped for a long time, you will get +5 for acrobatics. And also skills: you use a skill for a long time - its level rises immediately, without sleep.
15) Lycanthropy and Lichcraft (version 7)
Now you can become a werewolf, or a lich. There are three types of liches available in the game (Lesser, Ghostly and Terrible) and one type of werewolf.
If you don’t want to read anything, here’s a short version for you: 1. Buy a potion of lycanthropy from Dark Sam 2. Get the book Tom of Unlife - it is sold by Mach-Na in Cheydinhal.
THIS IS WHERE THIS IS THE DARK SEEM
here is the link www.mtes.ru/obliv_moe.html
Obliviona fans (and not only fans!) Often have questions: Where can I find things (weapons, armor, etc.) added by any plugin?
For those who cannot read (including ReadMe!) Or who are too lazy to ask on the forums or in the comments to plugins, my advice:
1. You need TES 4 Oblivion, Construction Set, and the required plugin in the Oblivion Data
2 folder . Run the Construction Set and open the required plugin
3. Find in the list of items (weapons, armor - for convenience, see the entire list at once, so as not to browse by category!) The instances that have undergone changes (in the third column - the Count column - next to the number at the top will be stand small icon - cross)
4. Open a location convenient for you by selecting it in the lower right window - but it will open in the upper right window - the viewing window
AND Finale: just drag the item you need to the location
Advice: use an available location - for example, an abandoned house in Cheydinhal!
Helpful hint: You can open the list of contents of any container you like and drag the item there!
How to do it? Double click on the item's image in the viewport, then (you just need a container!) Click Edit Base and drag the item there!
And most importantly, don't forget to save at the very end!
sorry, maybe the question has already been asked but how to start anti-aliasing and HRD lighting? Who knows, tell me so just do it?
in which I go to put anti-aliasing then I want to put xrd but writes that these 2 options should not work at the same time !?
cucishell
Bloom with AA works, this HDR cannot with AA =)) You can force AA to run through the driver, then it will be HDR + AA! =))
Nerevar0195 Well, they probably didn't want to insert it into the disk and that's it.
Nerevar0195
Open the settings panel for your driver (Desktop Properties - Options - Advanced - Driver tab), then create a profile for the Oblivion.exe application and enable anti-aliasing in this profile! Then start the game and turn on HDR in it, that's all =))
What to do, I have created modifications, but I cannot upload them to your site, is it necessary to transfer mods from another site when mine are on my computer? What should I do ??
You merge mods on some file hosting service (I use dump.ru), then go here - FILES - ADD. In the link you write the path to your file on the dump (or other exchanger).
