Morgoth Bauglir · Post by **Morgoth Bauglir** » Tue Mar 27, 2007 5:49 pm

IÃ‚Â´m having troubles with patch 1.2 wich bethesda released two days ago (two days, right?). When I try to install it it shows an error message wich says: Old file not found, file with other name found. It wonÃ‚Â´t be updated because the content doesnÃ‚Â´t match.

it says this when he tries to update Oblivion.exe

That's because you are installing the wrong patch. Which file did you download?

perhaps you are using a no CD key thingy. Patches don't like them

I got that same problem. I take it you did that copy & rename a shader package to get rid of the black screen Nvidia bug?

Switch the shaders back and reapply the patch, it will work. It hasn't occurred since, but if it does, look away from where you were pointed and type CAL (clear adaptive lighting) in the console and you'll be able to see again.

*cough3rdcough*
And that may be an issue with translating from a language where objects have genders... he probably meant "it" rather than "he". Or it may be a typo

I downloaded the English version, I also installed the english version of V1.1.

I do have a Nvida Geforce card, but I haven't done anything with a shader package (as far as I know...).

No CD-key? I can't find a CD-key on the box or so, but it's perfectly legal.

Thanks for the suggestions but none of these work... that'll be no Shivering Isles expansion for me

And Macar: I'm not very good at English, I know.

I think Thrig meant a No CD thingy aka crack

Oh, and which English version? The UK/Europe/Australia one or the American one?

Morgoth Bauglir · Post by **Morgoth Bauglir** » Wed Mar 28, 2007 5:06 pm

The one called English version, probably the american one. (Though I live in europe...). I thought I installed that one for V1.1 too. But I'll try the UK/Europe/Australia now.

Edit: The UK/Europe/Australia version DID worked. I thought I downloaded the normal English/north american version the other time. Probably not, thanks everyone.

The Elder Scroll Website says

TES Official Site wrote:Please Note: You do not need to install this patch if you have already Installed the Shivering Isles expansion.

So, if you have SI, you don't need it. Also, there is one for the CS as well. The auto-run of the patch told me that the original file was missing or something like that. I was quite perplexed until I went to TES website later...

I don't know if that will help you, but it looks like you may not even need the patch at all...

but what am i supposed to do now!? reinstal oblivion or something? and remember its not just the pink textures, the game crashes too when i try to load a game...

grumble_dog12 · Post by **grumble_dog12** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 6:56 pm

I don't know if you have the same situation as I did, as the installer would not initialize the install for me. I never actually had the patch installed.

If you really want to try re-installing Oblivion, you could try that, just be sure to back up any mod data (I don't know if that gets removed on uninstall)

I'm sure that it should work, but maybe there is more informative guidance somewhere else that you could try searching for first. Assuming that you haven't already.

Hope I helped

When you install SI, be sure to install the SI patch before you start playing again. There is a very nasty bug (the "Fbomb") which can destroy your character.

Bloodthirsty Crustacean · Sat Apr 14, 2007 8:42 am

@ Morgoth, you say the patch was released two days ago? There was a patch released two das ago, but that was a patch for SI.

You need to get the other 1.2 patch. Perhaps you got the wrong one, because the other 1.2 patch was released a couple of weeks (if not a month) ago.

Look at the date on my post, it is from a month ago (27 march). Thanks for the help though, but the problem is already solved: I had the wrong language.

I have also patch related problems and perhaps updating, coud help the problems.
I have bought SI. Should I install SI first or should I install the new patch first? If I should install first the patch, is there a procedure to install SI?
