Difference between revisions of "Crash Prevention"

Patch Oblivion to the latest version available - This might seem an obvious thing to say but I am sure that there are still people out there who use a version of Oblivion that is less than the latest available. Currently, the latest patch is 1.2.0.416. You may check what version you have by navigating to your Oblivion directory (by default, C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion). Right-click on "Oblivion.exe" and click on "Properties". Click on the "Version" tab and you will see the version number next to, well, "Version Number". If this number is less than 1.2.0.416, you need to [http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm download the patch]. If your number is greater than 1.2.0.416, you are either very friendly with Bethesda or something is wrong with your game (maybe a crack). You need to download the latest patch because Bethesda provides numerous bug fixes and crash prevention measures and most mods are built around this patch, meaning that you might experience bugs or crashes if you use a mod requiring 1.2.0.416 and you use something less than this.
