Just wanted to report a problem I've been having with Oldblivion. The game ran completely fine until I got inside the first Oblivion gate's tower. Upon activating a runed portal, or grabbing the sigil stone, Oblivion would freeze. I don't mean a desktop crash, I mean a computer freeze. I've already tried disabling refraction in the .ini, using the spellfixers and everything.

I'm running Oldblivion on an ATI Mobility Radeon 9000 with the latest drivers.

This is a common problem with Radeon 92xx and now 9000.

Install this custom Radeon Omega Driver 3.8.252

Yes this driver is from 2006 but is the last Omega driver to support 9000-92xx and is known to fix your problem.

Other suggestions.

Download this shader.

ShaderNoParticle.zip

and extract it to you oldblivion folder and overwrite current shader.sdp.


Download following mods, put the .esp files in your Data folder and enable it in OblivionLauncher.exe - Data Files

Use Spells No Lighting

Try Deadman's awesome INI, he had a 9200 or 9250.

Put the Oblivion.ini in My Documents/My Games/Oblivion and overwrite current

Hope that does it.

Thanks a million crookedmouth, those Omega Drivers did the trick. Not only did it fix the problem I was having, but my view distance drastically increased. Again, thanks.

Great, glad you got them installed. I bet your performance went up too.

I miss those omega drivers. I now have Windows 7 and they don't make compatible Omega Drivers.

Have fun and check back if you have additional issues.
