Re: Oblivion

LMAO. Well it appears that your graphics card is doing the most work there - it compensates nicely for the processor :). I'll get your mobo details off you later to see if there's something we can do about that processor of yours :D.

Oh good, can I delete your save game now? Also, I found out how to make the area loading faster. Turns out the game makes regular use of the 360s hard drive, and so it fragments it awfully, making the areas load slower. I read on another forum post that if you hold in any button on the controller while the game is loading, the cache clears and the fragmentation is cured. Bit fiddly, but hopefully they can sort it out via a patch or something. Cant complain much tho, its not as if I dont get 60fps constant or anything :)

Also, docbot, you can find some decent bows if you clear some bandit-inhabited dungeons.

Id also like to exclaim how fantastic this game is. I spent all last night milking the radiant AI by making dungeon skeletons walk on the floor traps :) Easiest dungeon clearing ive done for a long while.

Is it my imagination or does Xfire not say when someone is playing Oblivion?

Re: Oblivion

There was an update I recieved last night from xfire and it states that it now supports Oblivion, and it now shows up in my installed games.

[mod]Split this off into its own thread from the "Oblivion" thread because the original thread was diverging rather a lot. This bit does appear to be about minimum spec, getting Oblivion to look good, etc. Hopefully makes sense![/mod]

Re: Oblivion

A reply I made to SgtFury's post about xfire not showing oblivion has gone missing after your topic split ronin, any ideas?

Re: Oblivion

For some reason your post had become orphaned when I split the topic. It was visible in the old thread in Linear Mode, but not Threaded or Hybrid. I've pulled it from the old thread and put it in here, but its lost its place in the structure unfortunately. Sorry about that.

your imagination. There was a patch released 2 days ago for Xfire which it should download automatically if you give it the chance...
