Oblivion Patch Causing Issues

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hiccups-in-tamriel dept.

The much anticipated patch for Oblivion is here, but it has come at a cost. 1up reports on complaints from users about lockups, lagging, and some curious technical problems. From the article: "Even though the patch cleans up a number of glitches quests, many are still upset because it doesn't solve their existing issues. If you've already run into and experienced a glitch quest, there's a good chance the patch will do nothing to fix it; the patch can't fix contaminated saves. Consequently, Bethesda employees have been recommending fans start new characters if they want to experience these quests."

    I did the same thing, just keep playing and eventually the fish will respawn.

    If you have a problem with something like killing a creature before you *find out* that the creature is quest related, go into console(~key) then type "help" and it will show you a list of commands. The command to use in this case would be "spawn(creature_id)" Problem solved, resume saving Tamriel, the end.

    This should help 80% of people.

    The easiest one is the "player.placeatme ID#" command; use it in the console with the ID# being found in the location you're in inth e construction set.
