Its a small patch, 1.5MB or so. I'm used to seeing patches in hundreds of Megs. Refreshing to see one this small.

 

[Jeff7181]

Probably cause it's just a bunch of bug fixes, nothing added to the game.

 

[DaveyTN]

Yea, I was hoping to see a little more in the patch - maybe like a slight improvement in performance. Oh well ....

 

[Zenoth]

I was hoping for a "Memory Leak" fix.

We all know by now there is indeed such an issue with the game. It still crashes sometimes, after you exit the game. I thought they'd make that one of their priorities ... meh, oh well, we'll do without it for a few months until the next patch comes out, I guess.

 

[Jeff7181]

I wonder if that's a hardware issue... cause I've played the game for 8 hours straight... closed like 5 Oblivion Gates... completed a few side quests... alt-tabbed in and out doing various other things... and it hasn't crashed since I got my unstable video card sorted out.

No because mine crashes after i exit. It will sit on the black screen for a second waiting for the desktop to refresh, and it says that it crashed. No big deal seeing as i was exiting the game anyway, but kind of annoying.

Also, i dont know about you guys, but i have REALLY blocky shadows in this game, HOMM V, BF2; im beginning to wonder if it is a setting. I know BF2 has that "problem" but the block shadows can be kind of annoying in HOMM V and Oblivion.

Finally, im pretty sure this is a glitch. When it rains, even if you are under a gate or overpass (You know what i mean) or something solid, it still rains. Im sure someone as noticed this already anyways though.

Ive havent had an issue with crashing so far.

 

[Maxspeed996]

I do , all the time.
and it drives me nuts......

 

[Captante]

I get the crash on exit once in awhile ... doesn't effect saved games or anything though so not a big deal... I have also had the game crash to desktop like 2-3 times, buts thats out of like 100 hours gameplay & I think it was related to my Creative X-Fi driver.

 

[Dman877]

Mine crashes on exit 1 out of 5 exits. Annoying but not a huge problem. Did they include any of the graphic tweaks that fixed lod issues and stuff in this?

 

[kmmatney]

I can't alt-tab without the game freezing. Also, when AntiVir does its internet update the game freezes and I have to kill it from Task Manager. I can't figure out how to set the time for the AntiVir update. grrrr.

I actually disable my internet connection & AV software when running Oblivion, which not only prevents any mult-tasking problems, but also appears to boost performance a bit.

 

[nyker96]

Well I think we all need a new conroe for this big game and maybe 4GB DDR2 RAM!

 

[1Dark1Sharigan1]

I'd get this patch but I got bored of Oblivion a long time ago . . .

 

[T9D]

Implemented SLI-mode optimizations on Nvidia cards, and Crossfire optimizations for ATI cards.

Im curious to see some new SLI benches now.

 

[LittleNemoNES]

If I alt tab, the game acts weird as hell for me.

 

[videopho]

Eversince I had my driver (x64 bit) issues sorted out. It has been running flawless

 

[jaythespacehound]

I had constant crashing till I underclocked my ram to 133 (from 200)
Now I'm rock stable except for the crash on exit
Also, if you open the console before alt+tabbing it rarely ever crashes

 

[kmmatney]

Well, I'm doing the patch right now. I hope it doesn't screw up my short grass and UI mods...

 

[fierydemise]

I'm using oldoblivion and I installed the patch without realizing oldoblivion wouldn't work with the patch, I don't want to reinstall oblivion so does anyone have a way to uninstall the patch?

 

[astrocase]

Mine crashes after every exit. Hopefully this patch will fix it.

 

[nib95]

I'm installing this patch and then getting back to playing!
On my brand new Dell 2407FPW aswell! Hehe!

Will report about SLI performance boosts and so on.

 

[CalvinHobbes]

I'm not sure I'm going to istall the patch. I've played for 78 hrs and haven't had anything really bad happen. A few crashes here and there but I save quite often. Unless the patch fixes a quest that can't be finished, I don't really need it.
