Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

There's one in the chest next to that gadgy standing around.

I've now got a game ruining glitch. I'm supposed to meet Oreyn in the Lleyawin fighters guild hall except he isn't there! The marker points to him but you can't see him. Sometimes if you look away he appears but the one time this happened and I pressed A in time it was like I was searching his dead body and I got kicked out. Aaaargh!

Don't know if this helps but Oreyn is only there certain times of the day (or was when I was doing the Fighters Guild quests)...but the marker says he was right behind me, sometimes on top of me...yet I couldn't find him.

Try hitting the back button and waiting til about 10am or something, if he doesn't pop up then...sounds like a glitch. Try going to his house?

For some reason Oblivion crashed 3 times in a row of a matter of seconds of each time I started playing it....Which made me got about my X360 as I'd had to lose it on the most important week (E3).

Halo is working pofiectly though. Probably Oblivion with its gayness.

[wonderboy]

Any luck that final patch for you (xbox360) guys turns up soon.

Wonder if Bethesda are showing anything at E3 ?
Addons or Something new .....?

I've seen an amusing glitch recently - which I guess is down to item regeneration.

I took stuff from the fighters guild tables, plates and food. It seems that the food regens, but the plates don't, so when you see them again they're floating in mid air. Once you take an item the rest secum to gravity.

Regarding the patch, as I think I posted previously, it's being beta tested on PC before being released on live. Xbox360 owners will see it eventually, but no date has been scheduled for it yet.

[Jebus]

I'm still absolutely gutted about the "Caught in the hunt" glitch...it's STILL stuck in my current quests section, never to be finished

[Freddo]

I've had an annoying glitch occur where I finished a quest and afterwards, one of my amulets that used to be a normal item is now sort of a quest item and i cant drop/equip/sell it or place it in a container or anything, its just stuck there being useless.

[wonderboy]

I've had one's like the fruit. There's a spoon floating in mid air outside
the Mages-Guild. I walk past it al the time, when in Bruma. I bet you've
all had the ones, where you enter a shop and the books, plates or other
stuff fall of, or fly across the room. As you enter...

Two of the funiest had to be for me. When i was leaving a shop, at
brake neck speed. When your selling all your cave gear for money and
something flew across the room. As i press space to open the door, to
go out and i selected something in the air. One second later a guard is
there, "Come with me law-breaker !". It was, what err, aghh. It felt like
a monty python sketch...

The other was when i was sneeking around a house looking for stuff.
For the Theives guild to fence, to quailfy. I had headphones in and it was
late, thought i'd finish on this bit. I'm creeping around. I brush the edge of
a table a plate flew off hitting the wall. It made me jump, bang my leg on
the desk. Next thing the guard is there, "Come with m...". Yeah i know.
Dammit...

Is Oblivion using the same physics engine as Halflife 2 perhaps? Yesterday I had a 'glitch' where a rope with a stone at the end of it completely freaked out after I hit it with a fireball, it kept spinning is all directions at high speed. The exact same thing happened to me in Halflife 2, with the corpse hanging from the tree in the beginning of Ravenholm.

It's using Havok 3.1, Half-Life 2 uses Havok 2.0 if I remember correctly. And yes, they do tend to glitch if you hit them; must just be a general havok thing.

I've done one quest where an ordinary amulet became a quest item. Have you tried visiting

->Open Spoiler<-

Bradon Lirrian's house in Bruma

?

It might not be the same one but could be worth a look.

Another glitch now but essentially the same problem as above. I need to kill some ogres but, guess what, one of them isn't there. Great.

[wonderboy]

Yeah, i've had a lamp that i ran and jumped into. in Chorral Castle
which span, expanded and twirled.

At the moment i've got a big problem.

->Open Spoiler<-

I'm on the last Theives quest.
I've come to a gate, one of those square with a round hole in the middle.
There's two buttons, on each side of a ledge before it. I have to use the
boots of spring heal jack to get up there. If i press the left one facing the
the gate. It turns two crystals on for 5secs, but doesn't open the gate.
The other button on the other ledge does nothing. I've tried all combinations.
Nothing seems to get that gate open...

I had the same problem in

->Open Spoiler<-

a Mages Quest. The one where you tell three
battle mages where to stand. Your after Falcar. I had to load that in few
times, after i went through the dungeon to find out. At the end the switch
doesn't open the last room to him. You have to catch him outside. Or you'll
never get him. Lucky there's another option here though...

Any help, anyone finish the theives guild quests...?

[wonderboy]

Hey MrSpoon. Any more details on those orges. Might be something i
ran into. I still haven't done that

->Open Spoiler<-

Jumbo patato

Quest, is
that it ? Or is it something else..?

[wonderboy]

Figured out the above problem. Seems after doing it loads of times.
There's no point of hurring. I ran and jump round the the other button.
If you walk round to it, it works and opens up the gate. Strange one.
Must be a tiny bug. You'll know what bit i'm on about if you've done it.
At least i can carry on..

Got a bit annoyed, with this earlier (unlike me). I was having a how many
arrows i can put into a dread zombie competition. Twelve was the best !
Those dread zombies are a bit of a nuisance at times though. Once one
of those gave me astral vapors, as i go hit with burden going into some
water. Already over burdened with goodies. With no magicka, meaning no
feather or water breathing spell. I was in a bit of a pickle. Hurring, searching
my indgredients, please flax seeds yes..! Added to this the Zomnie fell into
the water. I spent ten minutes running after it in the water. Trying to kill
it. It kept running under water away from me...

I did try the beta patch plus also some performance enhancing tips mentioned on the web site

whenever i quite oblivion i would notice loads of icons at the bottom of the screen turns out it was some codec called ffdshow

I uninstalled that program and now the performance is far far better
