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 ...

not there you need some kind of jsm or something like that,
I installed a lot of mods, but I can't!
You go along the main quest, you find yourself in the "Temple of the Lord of the Clouds" (north of Bruma), and then you will understand everything.
People) Why haven't I tried more than 31, lvl does not grow, and x sticks are already off scale, what's the problem?

You need to download the basic skills - each level of the basic skill slightly increases the experience.
And to what level can you pump the hero or how to choose the difficulty level, my main skills are all 100 and the hero is level 49; can skills be pumped further (without cheats and artifacts) ???????????? Answer, who knows.
Theoretically, the maximum level is 225. But since you have all skills for 100, then here it is: the limit of perfection ...
Can I change the language if the keyboard does not have a Scroll Lock key?
This key has a different function ...
The language is changed mainly by ctrl + shift or shift + alt.
Tell me plc where can I get a normally working editor for the Golden Edition? I can not find.
Q. Tell me plc where to get a normally working editor for the Golden Edition? I can not find.
A. From the site of the developers (I downloaded from there to the patched gold edition)
Q. My subtitles scroll too quickly, what should I do?
A. If the pirated version, this file can help:
www.worldgames.ru/files/The_Elder_Scrolls_4_Oblivion_1151_Rus_No-CD.zip/token/2/
Judging by the reviews, it works.
B. How do I discard items from inventory?
O. there are 2 ways I: shift + left mouse button; II: hold down the left mouse button (this way you can move items wherever you want)
Q. Is there a mod, patch or something else that makes a gold edition out of the usual Oblivion?
O. No. The Gold Edition is the collection of all patches.
Q. Can you write a name or nickname in Russian?
A. You can, you have to press Scorol Lock while you write and will write in Russian. For the effect for the duration of the game, you need to pause (on any inv. Magic, ESC ...) press this key and then exit the pause and press this key again. I warn cheaters at once, the console also writes in Russian and do not enter "zdfnuk instead of player"))
Q. Can I join the Blades?
A. No, this guild is only available in the Sea.
Q. Do abandoned things disappear?
Not unless of course the AI ​​took this thing. Usually they steal weapons, food, potions, armor is shorter, as the developers set up the Radiant AI, this is how it works. Who does not know what it is, look for the video "First of Oblivion 4" You can correct it if I'm wrong.
Q. What is the difference between the old version of Oblivion + Knights of the Nine + Shivering Isles and the new Oblivion: Golden Edition?
A. If you buy a simple one, then you need to take:
1. Oblivion
2. Knights of the Nine
3. Shivering Isles
That is, 3 discs, although they are already a little, are sold everywhere at a markdown, 3 years of the game after all.
As a result, we have.
1. "Old" translation from Akella, in the old style, in the same way in which Morrowind was translated.
2. Original voice acting.
3. Fewer glitches with some plugins + you can not install any patches at all, unlike ZI.
At the output, we have a practically bug-free kit, I went through without patches for the first time. And there are patches, 2pcs. In fact, you don't have to bet
Once
http://files.games.1c.ru/tes4_knights/Oblivion_Knights_patch_ru_1_1.rar
Two
http://files.games.1c.ru/tes4_shiveringisles/files/patches/Oblivion_Isles_patch.exe
Judging by the price from http: // hotcd. ru, everything will come out at 275 + 275 + 100 = 650r
If you take ZI, aka GotY, aka Golden Edition, then you will need to buy 1 DVD, but in the end we have:
1. "New" inadequate translation from 1C in their standard transliteration spirit. Down with the mosk, give the loot. It’s dry, empty, so it’s going to give out the same thing. Well, you understand, it's 1C.
2. Russian voice acting, sometimes delivering. There are mistakes in the voice acting, which is unforgivable. Some phrases are confused. Dull voices.
3. Lack of official plugins (they need a patch)
4. It is imperative to install several patches, without them Oblla will be ... let's say ... buggy. Purely 1Sovskie bugs, in the original ZI they are not. Like a buggy map, scripts, etc. Quite a lot of important points, even critical ones.
Patches.
One

Two

Three (adds official plugins)
http://tes.ag.ru/oblivion/files/Oblivion_Knights_patch_ru_1_1.rar
Judging by the same hot SD, it costs 350r.
Choose yourself, it's up to you.
If I were you, I would buy 3 plain Oblivion CDs.
Since this is a gift, in 1x - 3 discs are "more" than 1.
In 2x - purely my advice to play the old translation.
In 3x - if you search well, you can find all 3 discs for no more than 200r per disc. In my shop not far from my house, just like that. Somewhere 150-200r for each Obla disk.
