I CAN RUN OBLIVION IN MI PC WHIT MOD OLDBLIVION??

MY PC:
1gb Ram
Radeon 9200 whit 256mb ( Pixel Shader 1.4 and Vertex Shader 1.1)
Pentium 4 (3.0Ghz)

I can run oblivion in my pc???
Answer mi question please!!!! Im new!!

[crookedmouth]

Yes you can.

Which version of Oblivion do you have?

[Tongui15]

Yes you can.

Which version of Oblivion do you have?

The game works without the OLDBLIVION me but all the textures are white. The game comes with version 1.0 I think but I put the vercion 1.2 of oblivion but OLDBLIVION to patch the game does not work well. I see all the white textures and I can not play. Any solutions?

Please Help me! wish you played this game and today I went to buy it but I can not run!
I'm going to uninstall and follow the instructions they give me!

[Tongui15]

I was able to run the game !!!! It runs on medium settings at 1024x780 resolution in the world 8-15 fps and 20 fps indoors and caves, houses, etc.
I am happy with Oldblivion and the game looks better than I expected ... hurts the water looks very ugly for the rest all very nice!

The only problem I have is that sometimes when I'm playing is like the game is labeled and I turned off the monitor and I have to reboot the pc! This does not happen very often but a 1 hour game I can spend up to 1 or 2 times and is a bit annoying!!

But I have to thank the creators of Oldblivion because they did a great job! I congratulate them all and thank you very much for giving us this opportunity to play this excellent game on our pc!

Greetings and continue like this!

Glad to hear you got it working.

Use these drivers for your video card.

Extract these shaders to your oldblivion folder and replace the current shaders.sdp file
No-Particle Shaders

Doing both of those may help your freezing/crashing.


What does your water look like?

Later proved above aver pusite what if I solve it! For now the problem is a nuisance more and discovered that happens to me when the Devils (those flying monsters who are in the initial area) throw me like a magic that looks like ice and magic hits me and pass the problem off monitor and I have to restart the pc ...

The only solution I found is to kill the monsters before I cast the spell or just take another route when they see them. It's very frustrating to do this and even more when out of nowhere comes the attack on me and I turn off the monitor.

The water looks like in this video:

Oblivion on Geforce FX5200! (With Oldblivion)

The water looks normal but without reflection or wave good as I settle

Proved the solution that you put up to see if I can resolve once and for all this problem that is not going to let me play quiet!

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

PS: I use a translator to all rely so sorry if I wrote something wrong!

I'm saying this is a common problem with 9200.

Solution is to use a modified shader package that removes the offending particle render that the 9200 can't deal with.

Extract this file to oldblivion folder, no more crash.

[Tongui15]

Download the file but does not work. First of all do not know where I have to drop. Second I keep passing it to the black screen ...

I'm at the part that you have to go through the portal Keyla and when the portal step two monsters are running and when I'm struggling a while it gives me black screen and I have to reboot the pc.

Can I specify the folder where you have to remove the file?
I hope the answer

thank you very much for everything!

[crookedmouth]

The folder is wherever you placed or installed oldblivion.

The folder name is oldblivion and it is where you run oldblivion.exe from.

You are replacing shaders.sdp.

The video looks pretty good.

Sure looks good on video ... Ecepto by water looks bad because it looks just blue with no waves or reflections or anything but it does not matter as the game is appreciated!!

I hope this is the solution because the problem really happens more often now .. I'm at the part that pass the door and you're in that part of the city that is all destroyed and there as demons and when the problem occurs atak of the screen and I have to reboot!

Playing Oblivion reboot the pc 5 times in 20 minutes! It's very frustrating I hope this is the solution!

[Tongui15]

Replaces the file in the correct folder but the problem is still happening 
I'm desperate! I can not continue playing because of error ...

Te I repeat what I get:
I'm playing just fine and suddenly the game is labeled after a while the screen goes black and the monitor light blinks and only hear the sound and theres no image

SOLUTION PLEASE!!

You don't need to make a new topic, I understand what is occurring and I will do my best to help.

Let me get this straight. You installed the Omega Driver, correct? If not, you should.

http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/GRAPHICS-BOARD/ATI/ATI-Radeon-Omega-38252.shtml

Your GPU may be overheating so open the side of your case and use compressed air to clean out any fans and openings. Be careful when cleaning your system. Your GPU most likely has a fan on it also.

Just make sure there is airflow to your system because it really sounds like a video card issue.


You could try the following but only after you have tried the above

Sometimes problems occur like this because of codec conflicts and someone made a program that resets codec use to only ones used by Windows.

Nightmares Codec Reset Utility named
CODEC Reset Utility v3.0

Read about it in the readme, this is the direct link.

The drivers for my video card must be updated because the purchase three months ago and my computer technician had to aver the updated ...
You give me the drivers are from 2006, are very old!
No other drivers there more up to date??

The GPU fan and encouraged me not to because I play something and break layers or not you'd better not touch!!

If you can contact other forum members that use RADEON 9200 for help and so can solve this problem I would greatly appreciate it!

For now I will lower DRIVERS! As not installed, so if you can leave a better guide!

PS: Thank you for everything!

[crookedmouth]

It could be your GPU is over-heating or can't accept the strain of attempting to run Oblivion.

I know that it is scary to mess with your computer components but are you certain that your intakes and fans are clean?

If the fan on the Video Card looks clean then leave it alone, but if not, eventually you will need to clean it.


About the Omega drivers, I know the drivers are old. They are the last Omega drivers to support the ATI 9200. Even so they seem to work well with Oblivion and fix many of the issues.

If you don't feel comfortable installing them then don't.

I would use the Omega Drivers still today if it wasn't for their not being compatible with Windows 7.

I don't feel like writing a driver installation guide but here it is very basic.

You can make a Restore point first if you are scared and return if something goes wrong.

1. You uninstall your old drivers in Control Panel/Remove Programs or whatever. Make sure they are ATI Video Drivers

2. Restart and say No to the Automated Wizard that tries to install your video card.

3. Run the Omega Installer and Restart Computer.


I've been here since nearly the beginning and helped many 9200 users get it working, so other forum members may be able to help too but I know that it is most likely one of the following 9200 freezing issues.

1. Video Driver issue (newer doesn't always mean better when you are talking about a card made 6 years ago or is it 7 now?)
2. Card is over heating.
3. Video Codec is screwing with your card.
4. The 9200 can't handle a certain particle shader and it crashes when spells or similar effects occur.

Solutions for above.
1. Omega drivers have always seemed to fix the 9200 issues.
2. You need to figure this out yourself but visually check your system to assure adequate airflow.
3. Use the Codec Reset Utility I posted above.
4. Use the NoParticle shader I posted above and/or Spellstrip Mod
