Sala91 (2009-01-27)

Works only on Intel Mac!

bonsaitree (2009-01-27)

TPB keeps timing out when i try to DL this torrent. Could you e-mail it to me?

Sala91 (2009-01-27)

Faster seed is coming soon. Hold on! :)

Mr_Lax (2009-01-27)

No, way.... :O
I'm in shock, and if this works, i'll seed until the end of time

Mr_Lax (2009-01-27)

What do you mean not to the general public?

Sala91 (2009-01-27)

It bag of hurt on Macbook with GMA950, abaut 10fps.
Will seed again in few hours.

Mr_Lax (2009-01-27)

Once i finish i will let you guys know about the performance on a 24" imac
Does the game have a no CD crack?

Sala91 (2009-01-27)

Whose hit en running? Seed eh?

tHeCaBe (2009-01-28)

After the intro sequence I cannot see anything. The mouse is a blurry square and there are unreadable characters in what i assume is the character creation box so yeah i need some help with that

Sala91 (2009-01-28)

Can you specify youre computer, cuz it runs graet on Macbook 2.0GHz, 2.0GB ram and GMA950. :)

CUltra (2009-01-29)

I have the exact same problem as tHeCaBe. I've got an iMac 24", 2.4Ghz, 2 Gig Ram, HD2600. Please someone find a solution, I NEED THIS GAME TO WORK!

tHeCaBe (2009-01-29)

Ive got an iMac 2.4 GHz, 1 Gig RAM, HD2600

inccubuss (2009-01-29)

thanks for this torrent. Works great on MBPro 2,5GHZ. question: does anybody knows how to enable mods? i know where to put the files, but on the pc version there's this screen where u choose which mods you can activate... or in this version is automatic?
Love this game, i own it for windows and PS3 but i use the Mac at work ;P
Thanks Sala91!!!

CUltra (2009-01-29)

So apparently this game only works with a GMA950. Or has anyone gotten it to run with a HD2600 or something else? The problem seems to be that going to the character creation sequence after the intro (everything runs finely until then) corrupts the graphics. The game doesnt't freeze though.

Sala91 (2009-01-29)

I think there is sth wrong with HD2600 graphics then. I will be releasing performance patch for that graphics card in mind sometime soon. You might want to try changing graphics setings from menu to sth else.
Actually activating new mods (not provided by me) is extremely complicated as there is no way to use launcher. Thou you do have all official mods and expansion pack already loaded.
PS: Dont forget to seed!

inccubuss (2009-01-29)

i already thought it would be hard to put custom mods without the launcher but i had to ask anyway :) another (stupid) question: what are the mods included in this torrent? i lost track of all "official" mods since mage tower and horse armor...
This game works great on my MBPro 2,5GHz. im running on 1440X900, all video setting on max(AA 16x)+Bloom and running on almost 60FPS! what kind of wizardry u have done, Sala91?? :)
Thanks again for porting this game to Mac, i take my hat off to you, sir!

CUltra (2009-01-29)

Sala91, that performance patch would be great! You're doing great work! I've tried pretty much all kinds of different graphics settings, but the problem persists.

cmanter (2009-01-29)

I can confirm the graphics glitch. I have a radeon x1600 graphics card in my 2 ghz macbook pro. If you can do anything to fix this that would be great. Thank you so much for this torrent otherwise Sala.

PeeGee81 (2009-01-29)

I have exactly the same problem as the others, running on a 3.06 24" iMac with 8800GS Videocard and 4gb of ram.
After the intro i can not see anything in game. A fix would be greatly appreciated!!

Mr_Lax (2009-01-29)

Well. shit... i hope this fucking works. if not, thanks for the try seeder

Honoria (2009-01-30)

For anyone who is experiencing that blocky graphical glitch, I had it too when I first tried the game but I was able to fix it.
I changed the resolution to 1440 x 900, turned on anti aliasing to 2X and changed to bloom lighting.
It fixed everything for me so far. The graphics are crisp and sound is fine but I haven't played past the introduction.
If that doesn't work just keep messing with the settings. I suspect the blocky graphics glitch might have something to do with running the game on to low of a resolution.
I'm running the game on a first generation MBP with a Radeon X1600 card, and frankly I'm amazed this game seems to run just as well as when I had it installed on a windows partition. Good work.

tHeCaBe (2009-01-30)

Thanks for the comment Honoria. You method worked great for me

Mr_Lax (2009-01-30)

To fix the blocks problem, i turned the texture size from the default large to small, and it worked perfectly. Also set the resolution to the max

Sala91 (2009-01-30)

The game performance should increse significantly on larger memory, as its optimised for 64MB of graphics RAM atm. I will post a guide to change these settings sometime soon :)

dabradster (2009-01-30)

I Will literally seed this whenever i have the internet open for the next year.
How well will it worn on the x3100 with 4 gbs of ram (Oldblivion or Newblivion?)
Oh and SEED PLEASE :D

Mr_Lax (2009-01-30)

Thanks sala, could you just give some rough directions for the more tech savy of us. works great btw

Sala91 (2009-01-30)

I can only test and debug this on my Macbook wich is 2.0GHz Intel C2D, 2GB RAM, GMA950. Sorry. Please dont forget to seed this :)

Sala91 (2009-01-30)

Oh and btw. Oldblivion is impossible to get to work.

Mr_Lax (2009-01-31)

ya, i figured it out. just go into

Then search that file for the line saying "videoram" = "64" and change it to "videoram" = "your vram here"

Mr_Lax (2009-01-31)

Could you do fallout 3 next?

sohzeh (2009-01-31)

Worked well on my Macbook 2.2 GMAX3100 4GbRAM DDR2 667Mhz.
But, with frequent momentaneous freezing during 1 sec. aprox.
After change resolution from 640x480 to 800x500 seems to have improved performance.
Two times the computer freezes completely, forcing me to shutdown.
A question... Could i use my old pc saves in this copy? Where to put the files?

dabradster (2009-01-31)

My ratio for this torrent is 4.5 and I have only completed half the download. Seeders would be greatly appreciated, or even uploading while you download.
Thank you Sala91 for this torrent, I really hope it runs on my laptop.

Lt.Tuvok (2009-01-31)

I dowloaded and installed the game but have one problem.
The character is spinning around. If I load the game without a mouse the stand still. Anyone an idea?

dabradster (2009-02-01)

I am at 63 %
Sala91, can you post a comment on how to get the best performance on a regular macbook? If it runs on your 2.2 ghz mac, I should have no probs on my 2.4 with max ram.
Thanks

Pyrosam (2009-02-01)

Hey Sala91!
first, thank you so much for this great upload!
I also own an iMac 2.4 GhZ with an Ati HD 2600 graphicchip and have also BIG graphic problems.. I'll be happy for the release of your patch ;-)
greets and thank you so much!

mac__hack2.0 (2009-02-01)

dabradster (2009-02-01)

Mr_Lax (2009-02-01)

Pyrosam, read the first page of comments. there is a fix

gangchx (2009-02-02)

Thanks a lot for this perfect torrent.
Worl well on my macbook (last review) but some freezing before and after every fight, not depending on the graphic preference. And I dont see why. My computer is doing two little song a every freezing moment. So if you know what to do i will be totally happy. It's my favourite game, i bought it, but i would like to stop those little freezes.
Thanks again for your work

Sala91 (2009-02-02)

Mr_Lax you are correct. You should also check in that config file Shader and other settings related to graphics card.
As for Fallout 3. It will not run on my machine, therefore i cannot debug witch means im not capable to port this.
But I will be submitting this modified Cider alone for easy porting any game to Mac with instructions.

I think there is something wrong, I am getting no seeds!!!

Blinkinsop (2009-02-02)

I have a New late 2008 Macbook Pro. 2.53 ghz, 4 gigs of RAM, NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT w 512 or VRAM. 1440x900 resolution. When I load this game, It loads up perfectly but when i get to the character selection screen and into the game it is just a black screen. I can see the compass, I can hear me moving around and jumping and people talking and I can see the menu's. Everything else is just a black screen though. Can anyone help me out?? I want to play this game sooo bad. haha

Blinkinsop (2009-02-02)

Sala, By the way. Thank you SO much for taking the time to make this port. I've been waiting for sooo long. haha

Jsteuer (2009-02-02)

Cyber_Monkey (2009-02-02)

Hey guys does this game require a no cd crack?
if so where would i find one?
thanks =)

gangchx (2009-02-02)

no-cd included

spiderwwe (2009-02-02)

hi, i just finished downloading the game. its awesome. but 1 problem.. i connected my ps3 controller into the mac and it worked , and i configered all the buttons and they all work. but wen i plug the usb to the controller my character keeps spinning . and wen i take it out . the spinning stops. i relly wanna use the ps3 controller for the game. plz help me someone. idk wat to do Help!!!!!!!!!!!! it recognizes the controller but the charcter keeps F**** spinning lol =[ HELP!

Sala91 (2009-02-02)

You should update youre drivers maybe? And btw, its not meant to be played with gamepads.

st0rm (2009-02-02)

To all those who have been having graphics issues. This is what did it for me:
Launch the game, options->video, set:
lowest resolution
texture size: "small"
anti-aliasing: "2x"
bloom: "off" (or was it "on"?)
After restarting the game, you should be able to generate your first character. Once you've played the game past the character creation, you should be able to set whatever graphics settings.
Hope this helps.

spiderwwe (2009-02-03)

tooo Sala91 ... i have to new macbook 13 inch the unibody.. 2 ghz .. nivada 9400m graphics card . alll my drivers up to date .. its uncomforable to play =[

Keving7 (2009-02-03)

Need a way to play mods, since they 90% of what this game is :P
If you can do that, this will be godly!

md_666 (2009-02-03)

Latest macbook pro:
Runs perfectly with everything maxed, just turn HDR off (bloom on).
Shivering Isles doesn't work. You can't see the initial island, just a bunch of 3D question marks.
Thanks for the upload!

CUltra (2009-02-04)

It's great that this game is working!
However, it does seem that at least the Shivering Isles expansion doesn't work. I get the same thing as md_666. I did some research, and this seems to be a common problem caused by an incorrect order of lines in a Plugins.txt file, as explained here:
So the problem could be solved either by turning off and turning on again Shivering Isles from the launcher (which is not possible) or by editing Plugins.txt. I explored the library/preferences/Oblivion Preferences and the package contents of the Oblivion GOTY application, but couldn't find such a file. Does someone else have more luck?

gangchx (2009-02-04)

I've looking for to, but dont find any plugins.txt, search with spotlight to so it could not be in oblivion file. But i found oblivion.esm wich one, normally, it must just after. So maybe if we could explore this file we could put on the add on.

gangchx (2009-02-04)

I have try to launch the launcher with crossover, but i cant click on any button so i cant active the shivering isle. If you've got another idea it would be cool

kurtizz93 (2009-02-04)

Look_OUT (2009-02-05)

zeiht (2009-02-05)

working fine for me so far, graphics are a bit laggy even with my brand new mac book pro w max ram.
BUT, how do i access the :
Oblivion Shivering Isles =
= + Oblivion The Knights of the Nine =
= + Bonus DLC

dabradster (2009-02-05)

Mod's (Shivering Isles, Knights of the Nine, Frostcrag Spire) Do not work :(

Miguldo (2009-02-07)

Downloaded the game
But when the intro movie is over all I can see is the character creation screen but not the character itself.
When I finish making my character and the game starts I can see some icons and I can walk/jump/perform spells but everything is black and I can't see where I'm going
I have the new Macbook
2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
2Gb 1067 MHz DDR3
Can someone help me out?

quickmill (2009-02-08)

can people please seed. i just passed 85 days.

ikillunow (2009-02-09)

Request: More plugin for oblivion, maybe a othetr upload with all addons? plz?

Mratus (2009-02-10)

Definitely my favorite upload on the site.
However, if anyone is / has been able to fix the mod problems (for example the Shivering Isles starting island not appearing), a fix upload / a post w/ instructions how to fix it would be greatly appreciated.

mczeexxx (2009-02-10)

Does anyone know where the savegames are stored? I'd like to use some of my old ones from Oblivion in BootCamp.
Didn't find them in the app package or anywhere else...

CUltra (2009-02-11)

mczeexxx: the savegames are located at (get ready): library/preferences/Oblivion Preferences/p_drive/user/My Documents/My Games/Oblivion/Saves.
Has anyone made any progress with the plugins?

machack5 (2009-02-12)

whohoo!
Got at least one of the plugins to work.
goto Preferences/p_drive/User/Local Settings/Application Data/Oblivion
And create 2 text files, one called DLClist.txt, the other Plugins.txt
Inside plugins.txt, put the following text:
# This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
# Use the "data files" option in the Oblivion launcher to choose which files
# you want. Please do not modify this file.
Delphen Castle.esp
Oblivion.esm
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
It turned the island of exclamation marks into shivering isle.

Honoria (2009-02-12)

Your method worked great for fixing Shivering Isles, machack5. That still lives the other mods and downloaded content to fix.
I tried adding the other content to the plugins.txt list like DLCHorseArmor.esp but it hasn't worked.
Any ideas?

dabradster (2009-02-14)

I put
This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
# Use the "data files" option in the Oblivion launcher to choose which files
# you want. Please do not modify this file.
Delphen Castle.esp
Oblivion.esm
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
in plugins.txt and left the other one blank and it didnt work, did I miss something?

CUltra (2009-02-15)

Excellent work machack5! I got Shivering Isles working as well.
dabradster: If that's exactly what you put in the file, then you seem to be missing the first # before the first line.
jungziege: you aren't supposed to put files in the Oblivion application package, so forget about the "show package contents". Look at the path given by mackhack5. The users/username/library refers to the mac folder, not what's inside the application package.

DeliSpirit (2009-02-15)

iMac 20' / 2.66Ghz / 2Go SDRAM / HD2600
Works perfectly, on high res, with HDR off and bloom on (I didn't change any other setting)
For those experimenting 1 second freezes on opening and closing battles
=> go to Preferences/p_drive/User/My Documents/My Games/Oblivion/Oblivion.ini
=> open with textedit
=> find "bMusicEnabled" and set it on 0
=> save
You shouldn't have any freeze in battles, but music is now set off... up to you to think if it's worth or not ;)
Thanks Sala91 for this great port =)

dabradster (2009-02-17)

CUltra, I added the # but I still get the error. It is in the right folder as well.

md_666 (2009-02-18)

@dabradster
It works perfectly. Make sure you follow the instructions correctly.
The two txt files have to go here: /Users/your username/Library/Preferences/Oblivion Preferences/p_drive/User/Local Settings/Application Data/Oblivion
Not inside the oblivion package.
@StoneySmile
If you're talking about the 1-2 sec lag before and after every battle, then turn off the music.

snrub (2009-02-18)

So it appears to be working well.
Now all we need is some seeders, I've been downloading this for weeks

bryu27 (2009-02-19)

Everything works, haven't tried mods/expansions though. All settings on high. iMac 24", 3.06ghz, 4gb ram, nvidia 8800. I do get the lag entering/exiting battles though. Not TOO distracting but def noticeable. 666 I'm not sure how to access those settings.

Jsteuer (2009-02-20)

@zinjanthropus
I was actually putting fail because i had tiger at the time and i thought it was only tiger..but i have leopard now..sorry about the confusion. my bad.

Honoria (2009-02-20)

Still can't figure out why Shivering Isles works but none of the other downloaded content does. It's all in the same folder so I would think adding it to plugins.txt would work but it doesn't.

rizzo41999 (2009-02-22)

Please continue seeding, I will seed for 2 days.

hamyham27 (2009-02-22)

hey can someone who got shivering isles working email me a copy of the 2 text files i tried like 9 times to make the i just cant PLEASE HELP my email is iloveburps@yahoo.com

hemmsilius (2009-02-22)

PLEASE! seed! i want this so bad!

bryu27 (2009-02-23)

Ok, my update. Got Shivering Isles to work by adding the text documents. Turned the music off to stop the battle lag. Now it plays perfectly (minus the music of course)! iMac 24", 3.06ghz, 4gb ram, nvidia 8800.

Miguldo (2009-02-25)

The game works fine, the 1 sec lag doesn't even bother me.
But now I want to play Shivering Isles
I followed the instructions in the comments here but there are some things that are not clear to me.
Question One: The text files are made by opening and using Texteditor?
Two: Should the DLClist.txt be made by having an empty Texteditor, pressing space without having anything written and then save it with the name DLClist.txt?
Three: When I save it this way, it says I can't save it as a .txt
It can only be done with an .rtf name or a .txt.rtf
Four: When I've saved both the files in the right way, whats next to make it work?
Im not so good with computer and new to Mac
So thanks for the help and I'ts a great game

bonsaitree (2009-02-26)

Please seed... stuck at 92.01%.

Benthol (2009-03-01)

Miguldo:
1) That's correct, you can use texteditor
2) Space is not nececasry. just make a new document and save it without writing anything in it, that's enough.
3) Go into preferences and change the type of document you want Texteditor to make. rtf is standard, you should change it to txt. Now, when you save your file (first start a new file or it won't work!), it will automatically save it as txt. If you want to me rtf texts, change the setting in the preferences again.
Now a question of my own: I'm using Macbook Pro of the previous generation, and I can play the game well for a certain amount of time, but after that it gets laggy, choppy and eventually it is able to crash my entire computer. Anybody else have such problems?

Benthol (2009-03-01)

Sorry, didn't see your fourth question:
4) Simply follow the directions posted previously in this thread, though I can't say if it works or not. I followd the direction, but I myself don't really have an idea of what should happen after doing so...

Miguldo (2009-03-02)

Yuuuuup it's working
Thanks for the help!
Benthol I'm sorry I can't help you with that

Mratus (2009-03-02)

Anyone having a problem with the collision sounds being loud as hell? I tried fiddling with the audio options in-game, but it just ended up being so that I can't hear anything except for the collisions.. Any ideas how to fix this?

Miguldo (2009-03-02)

@Mratus
Yup I got the same thing
Sometimes it does'nt even stop, but I don't really mind. Look at the rest of the game man =D

Durkadoo (2009-03-02)

Etropal (2009-03-13)

Sup!
Thank you so much for that torrent!
Still have little problems:
I put the music slider all the way to zero, but it still lags when an enemy "notices" me.
2nd, I got "Shivering Isles" to work, I went inside, everything works perfectly, until I reach the first town, frame-rate drops to literally 1 frame per 5 seconds. If I look at the sky, FPS goes back to normal, the minuet I level my view, very laggy.
When I walk away from the town, fps goes back to normal. Sure, I have all video settings maxed out, it's just bizzar it would only happen here (As far as I know so far)
Also the collision detection sounds (minor problem I believe)
Apart from this, it's perfect :)
Thank you very much!

After i create one, it takes me to the starting level. i can see the map, quests alerts, etc. but no character model or background whatsoever. i've been downloading this for fucking ever someone please help

Dobik2000 (2009-03-15)

Great torrent, works fine (except for extreme lag every now and then for no apparent reason but hey, who am I to complain). Thanks a lot.
Otherwise, if anyone has a little time to spare, maybe someone could "port" fallout 3 for mac. As it's the same game engine as Oblivion, I think it should be not too hard. Just an idea...

Muska-Kiruru (2009-03-18)

Meef! I've tried to turn off the HDRlightning and keep bloom on, I've also tried to change the resolution (some say change it to max while others say change it to lowest? eeek...)
But, when I make my character I can't see anything but a half face... Like, I see the eyes and teeth (which is scary) but not the skinn etc.
When I log into the game I see everything except my own characters body. I can see its hair, but not skin and body. Very weird!
My computer: 2,0 ghz, 1gb ram I think and intel GMA 950 with 64MB...... blurrhuru. What am I to do? sniff...

armypat (2009-03-20)

so i installed the game, and i started up the game and everything was fine until i got to the ending of the new game video, then the screen went all blurry and random text boxes, i could see the outline of the character creation but i could not read any of the text or do anything further... HELP ME !!!!! >>> PLEASE

mrmarmite (2009-03-20)

thanks sala this is brilliant! it has worked flawlessly so far however ive had one problem, in that after about 12 hours or so of gameplay, im now getting random crashes, where my screen just freezes, theres occasionally a sound effects loop. wondering if anyone else has gotten this? its really really driving me mad, ive tried changing all the graphics, tried deleting the music, changing bmusicenabled to 0, tried everything!
i think its to do with the savegame but i really dont want to have to start again, does anyone have any suggestions?

then drug and drop the 'cider' app to Terminal dock or window also press return.Thereis the only twick has left it is a mods switching however i believe it is reachable with some configuration files so on. I am not much engulfed within. Good Cyrodilling!

I have a black Macbook with OSX 10.5.4 and it still says I can't play Oblivion GOTY with the version of Mac OSX...help?

ADarkMountain (2009-04-09)

I am downloading at 700 kb/s. fastest ever for me. 5% in 2 minutes

Malcavian (2009-04-09)

To everyone who has problems running the game and needs help!
Before asking, please read the previous pages. I am pretty sure you will find solutions to your problems there, as I have.
Also: I'm pretty sure that to make mods work you need to put them in files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/data/
AND then create files in .../Local Settings/Application Data/Oblivion like described on one of the previous pages, and then in plugins.txt put their corresponding .esp files' names, like in the example with shivering isles (and do not forget adding oblivion.esm - it's the master file, they won't work without it)
This worked for me, and although I've only added 2 mods so far, I think this should work for all of them =)

Malcavian (2009-04-09)

Oh and btw thank you SO MUCH Sala91 for uploading this, it was like a dream coming true to be able to play my favourite RPG on my MacBook. I'll be seeding for ever, or at least till I have no free space left on disc, it's a promise! ;)

astar417 (2009-04-12)

Look I read the comments and found no answer before I posted. In the applications screen there is a big white circle with a line through it over the logo. And it tells me I cannot use this application with this version of OSX when I try to open it. I know I have all the appropriate hardware. I have been seeding this since I downloaded and have not stopped. Please just give me an answer.

lardcakes (2009-04-12)

I got a mod to work using the method but I seem to be having trouble with the skin mods. My character still looks the same. Any easy mistakes that I might be doing?

Helloo32 (2009-04-14)

Malcavin can you give a small detailed explanation of what you did with the plugins when you typed them into the Plugins.txt file
I put all the DLC.esp forms into the .txt file (such as Knights.esp) but they did not seem to work in the actual game
So far i have only gotten DLCShiveringIsles to work in the game

FixTheFernBack (2009-04-16)

fuckkkk
You cannot use this application "Oblivion GOTY" with this version of Mac OS X
=[

Malcavian (2009-04-18)

Helloo32, did you put the corresponding files into the Oblivion Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Data folder? All of them, not just the DLCShiveringIsles.esp? The plugins.txt is basically the same as the Oblivion Launcer window when it allows you to pick the active mods. But it will only search for files located in the /Data folder.
2lardcakes,
check the installation instructions for the mod, they should be in a readme file. For mods that alter the way things in game look, you have to put special textures and meshes files into the /Data folder as well as the .esp files.
2 astar417
there's only one thing I can advise - try re-installing the OS. It is possible that during the installation of the OS something went wrong and it did not update some libraries, and the Oblivion application, coming across such library, may think you have an older version installed. Good luck!

mnstrptrl (2009-04-19)

I've set the music off according to the instructions of DeliSpirit, but if anyone can find a solution for the 1 second freeze problem without removing music altogether, it would be greatly appreciated.
Seeding, and hoping someone will find out how to get Knights of the Nine working.

Malcavian (2009-04-19)

2mnstrptrl,
Ummm actually I got the Knights to work :)

Helloo32 (2009-04-21)

Malcavin: I checked to see if the the .esp files were in the /Data folder in Oblivion.app and they were. so I am wondering if you have to make seperate plugin files for each DLC or if you need to put the mods in a specific order. in any case it would be really helpfull if you could put down the exact text of your plugins.txt file so i can see the possible differences, otherwise something just might be wrong with the DLC that Sala gave us

Malcavian (2009-04-21)

Helloo32,
no, there's only one plugin file, and there's no need of any specific order either.
Here's my plugin.txt file
# This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
# Use the "data files" option in the Oblivion launcher to choose which files
# you want. Please do not modify this file.
Oblivion.esm
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
DLCFrostcrag.esp
DLCHorseArmor.esp
DLCMehrunesRazor.esp
DLCOrrery.esp
DLCSpellTomes.esp
DLCThievesDen.esp
DLCVileLair.esp
All the mods work for me, I checked just now to make sure =) If you're editing the file in TextEdit, don't forget to convert it to plain text from rtf, otherwise it won't work

Helloo32 (2009-04-22)

Malcavin: so i guess the bottom line is that my problem is that the DLC files are in the wrong place should they be in the path way
Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Data
or should they be some where else
Im a little confused where the data files option in the oblivion launcher means.

Helloo32 (2009-04-22)

Sorry to bother you Malcavin but could you also write down the contents of your data folder because mine might be different or it could just be that the DLC are messed up because it appears as if all of the DLC.esp's are inside the Data folder but i have not recieved any quests from the plugin's for my current character

Malcavian (2009-04-22)

Helloo32,
No, your files are in the right place. It's where they should be, too, since we've downloaded the same torrent, and in case you haven't changed anything they shouldn't be messed up in any way.
Oh and by the way, I just checked my comment on the previous page, I hope you put the plugins.txt and DLClist.txt in the right folder - it should be User/Library/... not Macintosh HD/Library... just in case =)
It's also very strange that the SI work, while other plugins don't. They are all technically the same, and located in the same folder.
As for my Data folder, I've put lots of other mods except the official ones there too, but the part concerning DLC is as follows
DLCFrostcrag.bsa
DLCFrostcrag.esp
DLCHorseArmor.bsa
DLCHorseArmor.esp
DLClist.txt (tell me if you need the contents of this file, I'll write that too)
DLCMehrunesRazor.esp
DLCOrrery.bsa
DLCOrrery.esp
DLCShiveringIsles - Meshes.bsa
DLCShiveringIsles - Sounds.bsa
DLCShiveringIsles - Textures.bsa
DLCShiveringIsles - Voices.bsa
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
DLCSpellTomes.esp
DLCThievesDen.bsa
DLCThievesDen.esp
DLCVileLair.bsa
DLCVileLair.esp
That's it. I think there can't be problem anywhere apart from the Data folder and the plugins.txt file. They're responsible for anything.
And by the way feel free to ask anything if you need, I'm glad to be helping =)

johnbobax (2009-04-23)

? thank you Sala91 for the files.
? Thank you machack5 and Malcavian for the explanation.
? I recapitulate :
----------------------------
[1] going to : Preferences/p_drive/User/Local Settings/Application Data/Oblivion
----------------------------
[2] Create two text files : DLClist.txt & Plugins.txt
(if I editing it in Textedit, I rename the files in .txt)
----------------------------
[3] In the file Plugins.txt, I write :
«
# This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
# Use the "data files" option in the Oblivion launcher to choose which files
# you want. Please do not modify this file.
DLCFrostcrag.bsa
DLCFrostcrag.esp
DLCHorseArmor.bsa
DLCHorseArmor.esp
DLClist.txt [(tell me if you need the contents of this file, I'll write that too)

johnbobax (2009-04-23)

DLClist.txt [(tell me if you need the contents of this file, I'll write that too)

johnbobax (2009-04-23)

-Malcavian, you said "tell me if you need the contents of this file, I'll write that too" about DLClist.txt. Is this file is empty or not ?
-How can I make work Knights of the Nine. I think it's not working in the game. (No new quest. nothing in Anvil church.)
thank

Malcavian (2009-04-23)

johnbobax,
- No, this file is not empty. It's also named DLClist.txt, like the one in the same folder with plugins.txt, but it is located in Data folder. It wasn't I who created it, so in your Data folder it should also be present.
- To make the Knights work you just need to make sure knights.esp is in Data folder, and then write its name together with DLC's in the plugins.txt, the same way:
Oblivion.esm
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
----your other DLC ----
knights.esp
(the order may vary)

Malcavian (2009-04-23)

By the way, a little commentary -
your plugins.txt file MUST contain the line "Oblivion.esm" It's the master file, without it the game doesn't work. Also, you can put there the names of any .esp or .esm files you downloaded and placed in the Data folder (apart from the official plugins, there are 5000+ mods created by users that alter things in game). Just in case someone doesn't know. You can find most of those on Tesnexus.

askerz429 (2009-04-24)

I found a Fix for the battle freeze issue with the music. All you have to do is right click the oblivion application then choose show contents and find the oblivion data folder and go to the music folder and delete the battle music folder.

oJcC (2009-04-25)

Malcavian,
Thanks for all your help but i just need to ask if you have the deadly reflex mod installed? and how you got it working as it has a lot more files than the other mods.

Malcavian (2009-04-25)

oJcC,
You're welcome and no, I do not have it installed. Problem is, this mod requires OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender), which is an .exe. Even if you get it to work via CrossOver - which I tried - it fails to work. I guess it's basically just incompatible with Mac os. Maybe there is some solution, it will be great if someone could find it and post it here, I just don't have enough time right now.
To everyone,
There is a major problem with Finder users. Say you want to copy-paste a folder named "Meshes" (which contains meshes for a certain mod) into the Data folder, which already has a folder "Meshes" in it, which has meshes for a different previously installed mod. Now if you're using Windows, you just copy-paste and say "replace", and the files in YOUR meshes folder will be ADDED to the files in the other folder. However for Mac users everything is a bit more complicated - Finder just replaces the WHOLE folder, and the meshes you need for the other mod to work are overwritten by the new ones. I'm not sure if you can change that, I tried and I couldn't find how to do it. Maybe someone knows, although I have a bad feeling it's just the way it is for Finder. It's just that when you have a huge mod about 500 MB worth of textures and sounds, it's really annoying to have to move each little folder's contents on your own.
Oh, and I just couldn't bring myself to delete the music folder. I'd really rather have the freeze than no battle music. It's really... immersive =)

mnstrptrl (2009-05-03)

The mysterious door in Niben Bay is a bunch of exclamation marks, and the two people treading water in front of it will talk to me, but don't literally "say" anything. They are seen, but not heard. Is there any fix to these problems?

Kastrix (2009-05-04)

Hi, i have some questions that i would be happy to get answerd.
1. does this work on vista 32bit?
2. Is it hard to install all the patches and/mods?
3. How much disk space will it take when finiched?
4. Is the "editor" for the game included, and what other extras comes with?
Thanks and sorry for bad grammar.

willdayble (2009-05-09)

A NOTE TO ALL HAVING THE BLACK-SCREEN ISSUE:
Turn on anti-aliasing to 2x. This does it for me. :)

Malcavian (2009-05-11)

Kastrix,
1) no, i'm afraid this does not work on vista, because this is a Mac OS version. Search the pirate bay for the windows version, you'll find it here.
2) no, it's quite easy once you've understood the simple way in which it works
3) together with all the DLC and some must-have mods it's approximately 14 gygabytes
4) i'm not sure if it's included, but it can easily be donwloaded, as the file isn't big at all.
mnstrptrl,
you have some sort of missing textures or/and meshes problem. Make sure all the .bsa files are in the Data directory

zanna92 (2009-05-29)

hey thanks a lot for the upload sala!!:D can anyone plz seed ? ive got an average of 2 KB/s :( plz seeeeed

slim-city (2009-05-30)

i have a small problem, how do you install a downloaded mod?
I put the .esp in to the Data folder under the contents of Oblivion GOTY, and tried to write down the .esp into the plugins.txt. (using several different combinations to try to get the correct one) but none work. Do i have to active it from the launcher window thingy where i can choose which mods to include? If so, how do i get to this launcher window?
Thanks for any help

slim-city (2009-05-30)

disregard my last comment - figured it out

Premitive1 (2009-06-01)

thanks very mcuh Sala91 and all the seeders!

yinder (2009-06-02)

it works perfectly. The only thing I have to complain about is a little lag whenever I fight something. I can swing the sword and stuff with nothing there, but when I hit something it freezes up a little. I can shoot something with an arrow and doesn't lag (usually). Does anybody know how to fix this? I am using the new aluminum 13 inch macbook. Should I tone down any settings? the resolution is already as low as it will go.

lee274 (2009-06-03)

hey

lee274 (2009-06-03)

Sala, I really need help here, you said u have 2GB with intel 950 macbook right? I have the same macbook black from 2007, with upgraded ram but it lags like crazy on my computer. I've so far played until the first scene where the guy's still in the cell, but it lags until i can't play at all. I've set everything to the lowest and tried all the anti-thingy to 2x and all, but nothing solves the lagging problem. How are u able to play this on macbook?

Henzig (2009-06-05)

Hi Guys.
I've red all the comments here and in doing so I've gotten everything to work fine, accept the Knights of the Nine.
None of the demonstrated plugin.txt-files show Knights.esp in them. I've tried with and without and I can't get it to work. Have you solved some other way or is my plugin.txt-file just fucked up some how?
Any ideas?

Plenoxia (2009-06-12)

i'm on a intel 2.4 core 2 duo with 2 gb of ram, OS X 10.5.7
i just loaded the game and when i created a new character i couldn't see it when i was in the character creation menu. the whole area except the creation menu was grey. i created a character without knowing what it looked like anyways just to get a look at the game but in game the same thing happens. i can see the crosshair but everything else is just grey. if i go to the inventory menu i can see the character model though.
any ideas?

c1derz (2009-06-12)

Plenoxia I had the exact same problem as you, just screw around a bit with the video settings, first set everything to lowest, normlly you should be able to play then, you can try and up the settings everytime a bit until it bugs out again afterwards

Plenoxia (2009-06-14)

oh but you got it to work doing that? cool thanks

Stevie117 (2009-06-16)

I just finished downloading but i cannot mount the disk image. Help?

lolfactor (2009-06-17)

good job! the game works ok on my macbook, but there are a bunch of areas where no matter what the game will freeze, forcing you to shut down. An example it when swimming i often, about 80% of the time, freeze up. besides the often lockup it is very good.

speckit1994 (2009-06-23)

i downloaded it fine play it fine works fine i got the kotn quest went to the place but theirs only huge yellow blocks with questionmarks in the spot the quest arrow points to

caseyabc (2009-06-23)

Hi it downloaded perfectly, but when i started to play it the screen is black. The menu appears and so do my health stats but the actual image is black. Can you please tell me what im doing wrong. thanks

coruir (2009-06-24)

#1 Thank you Sala91 for the upload and thanks to everyone in these comments that has been so helpful with the graphics and audio glitches.
#2 I was experienced with Morrowind modding, so I understand all the folder/file placement, and I have a few mods working. I'm new to Oblivion, so I'm not always sure what's a mod and what's vanilla. I tried the "shotgun effect" and just downloaded and threw in a lot of mods in the hopes that some would work. I know for sure the body mod I installed is working, as female characters show nude when undressed, but other then that, I'm not exactly sure. So far any of the mods I've added with items or places at a specific location, haven't worked. Though I've been mostly looking for graphical improvements to clothing/character/items. Bethsoft really, REALLY needs to hire some of the talented 3d artists in the mod community.
Questions:
Do I need both the .esp and .bsa files (where applicable) in the plugins.txt file?
Has anyone gotten any hair mods to work, and if so, which and how?

caseyabc (2009-06-25)

hi. Are all the plug in's included in this download. I know Shivering Island is but i cant seem to activate things like the wizards tower and pirate cove. If they are included, how do i activate them

coruir (2009-06-25)

Only the official add-ons are included.
Also, I've had this for months and am still seeding it up to 200kb/s whenever I remember to turn it on, generally overnights.
Mod progress:
I have confirmed that I have a body mod working, also I got the clear glass armor mod to work, however the clipping on the greaves cuts out the back of the character's legs. To bad, they look good.
I am desperately trying to get any hair mod to work, as well as the Apachii_Goddess_Store, MidasSpells, Kobu's Character Advancement System and IlluminationWithin.
Files are in the correct place and the .esp is listed in the "plugins.txt" but nothing in game.

hippiezombie (2009-07-06)

How to activate Shivering Isles + all other DLC:
1.Go to User/Library/Preferences/Oblivion Preferences/p_drive/User/Local Settings/Application Data/Oblivion
2.This folder should be EMPTY TO BEGIN WITH!!
Create two txt documents (if you don't know how, go to the Terminal utility in Applications and type in: touch Desktop/file.txt This will create a text file on the desktop, and all you need to do is open it with textedit and save the file as the two following names) called DLClist (filename DLClist.txt) and plugins.txt (filename plugins.txt)
3.Leave DLClist.txt completely blank
4.In plugins.txt copy and paste this text (including the # signs):
# This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
# Use the "data files" option in the Oblivion launcher to choose which files
# you want. Please do not modify this file.
Oblivion.esm
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
DLCFrostcrag.esp
DLCHorseArmor.esp
DLCMehrunesRazor.esp
DLCOrrery.esp
DLCSpellTomes.esp
DLCThievesDen.esp
DLCVileLair.esp
5. Place BOTH files in the path mentioned in step 1
Since all of the DLC files are already in the Application itself, all your mac really needs is something to tell it to load the DLC files, which is exactly what plugins.txt tells it to do. To be honest, I'm not sure why it needs DLClist.txt. Hope this works for you.

tomtykwer (2009-07-07)

People with graphics issues: I had the same problem some of you described. I could see the menu but not the ingame graphics. I have a macbook 2.4 ghz, 256mb videocard. I did not downgrade the options in the videomenu but set them higher than default values. And it worked.

MacVega (2009-07-08)

I download this application and it works great however Oblivion doesnt recognze that my mods exist. I know for a fact that i have all of the .esp/.esm's in the correct place as well as their related files because all the mods i have (very few) that use meshes and textures without needing a .esp or a .esm are working fine. I do not have parallels but instead have VMware so i have slightly different file paths. I dont know how this effects what is going on.
My oblivion data is located here:
Oblivion Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Data
I have narrowed it down to three possible reasons why i am having issues with making his idea work.
1. I have the Plugins.txt and DLCList.txt in the wrong location. They are located in:
Oblivion and Settings/User/Local Settings/Application Data/Oblivion
The only two things in this particular file titled oblivion are the plugins.txt and DLCList.txt and nothing else.
2. I have written either of the two text files incorrectly.
DLCList.text reads as :
QUOTE
# This file is used by Oblivion to keep track of your downloaded content.
# Please do not modify this file.
Plugins.text reads as :
QUOTE
# This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
# Use the "data files" option in the Oblivion launcher to choose which files
# you want. Please do not modify this file.

In the actual text there is a space between the notification and the mods and a space inbetween al lof the mods.
3. The error lies in that i have to start a new game for it to read the mods instead of loading the save files i currently have. (I have two at the prison sewer exit for testing purposes) The reason being that the other two games have already compiled data and wont load any changes.
I have found an alternate way to loading the mods but i cant continue because of a strange occurance. I have downloaded Wirebash and it is running perfectly as it allowed me to sort and make sure all the mods were working but i need a save file to load those mods to. For some strange reason the save files i made in oblivion are missing from the universe until i boot it up and load the saves in game. I have concluded from this that you cannot access save games outside of the application because they are stored directlyi in the application. I could very well be wrong and it would please me to no end to be proven so but i have searched everywhere.
If any of you can help me with this issue of mine I would be very grateful

antman872 (2009-07-09)

I have a Black MacBook purchased in December of 06' With
320gb HD
2.5gigs Ram
GMA950 Intel Graphics with 64mb Vram
Hopefully works, it should work cause it better than Sala91

antman872 (2009-07-09)

Sala91 i really really need your help. When i run the game its fine but when i start to play it lags to much to even play the game. whats my problem? do i need to lower or higher something? Your help would be most appreciated!

coruir (2009-07-10)

I have the same problem MacVega has. Mods that do not require a ".esp" file work, but the others do not. I believe I have the shivering isles working, as there's a mysterious gate in Niben Bay with npcs around it and coming out of it. I tried to enter but basically told me I'm not high enough level. (only lvl 6)
As I said, I can't get any of the hair/face/texture/place/item type mods to run. I know the meshes/textures are all put in the right place, and the plugin.txt and DLClist.txt files I've placed in various spots, as various directions have indicated. I'm really kind of stumped as to what could be the problem.

antman872 (2009-07-10)

For MacVegas and coruir, if you put the Oblivion.esm at the bottom it does not load properly.
This is how it should look
# This file is used to tell Oblivion which data files to load.
# Use the "data files" option in the Oblivion launcher to choose which files
# you want. Please do not modify this file.
Oblivion.esm
DLCShiveringIsles.esp
DLCFrostcrag.esp
DLCHorseArmor.esp
DLCMehrunesRazor.esp
DLCOrrery.esp
DLCSpellTomes.esp
DLCThievesDen.esp
DLCVileLair.esp
And you don't need every single one, only the base, for example you put:
AliveWaters - Koi Addon.esp
AliveWaters - Slaughterfish Addon.esp
AliveWaters.esp
when it should be
AliveWaters.esp
always have Oblivion.esm at top and only the main mod, not each and every one.

AlbinoRhino620 (2009-07-10)

I've been having trouble getting the plug ins to work. I did the DLClist and plugins txt files thing and haven't had any success. They are exactly where they are supposed to be according to hippiezombie's post.
What happens is I get the "A Strange Door" quest alert but it doesn't have a quest icon next to it. Then if I go out to the spot its supposed to be, there's a ton of boxes with question marks. Oddly though, there are NPCs swimming around that I can talk to and every now and then when loading a screen I'll get a screen that tells me about how I can get weapons made out of madness ore (which I presume is expansion content).
I read some posts saying to activate them in the Oblivion launcher... but there is no Oblivion launcher that I can find.
Anyway, if anyone has any advice on how to solve this issue, please help me! I'll appreciate it forever.

rcajun88 (2009-07-14)

By the way for all of those having trouble with lag when fighting something (for example yinder) the problem isn't with the graphics, it's with the audio. For some reason there is a bug when it switches from normal music to battle music. If you go into the Oblivion folder and delete the music folder the lag is fixed. It is a shame to play this game without the music but for all those who have Macs and no Xbox, this is perfect solution.

Awesome torrent except for one thing... When I go to some things such as the Strange Door quest, everything is just a bunch of Yellow squares with !!!!!s on them. Is there any way to fix them?

Hey sala,
I dled without a hitch, but whenever I try and start a new game, all i get is a gray screen, its like the game is going on, but i can't see anything but gray. Any thoughts?

Extremely grateful, Sala. This was a beautiful find. Battle music be gone, and the text files are in place. Months worth of enjoyment to come, and however many trick-ass mods on the horizon.
Maybe I can hold off on the next-gen bandwagon for a few extra years.

i know that i have not installed the game correct. But is it possible to change the files because it works perfect i just want SI and NOTN??
sorry if my English is bad.

Wheel83 (2009-09-16)

Could it be possible for somebody to port the Oblivion Construction Set (CS) for this game to mac?
I used to make mods for this game back when i bought it for windows.

Pug_Fugly (2009-09-17)

To anyone who, when they load the game, sees only the HUD and menus, with everything else being black:
To fix this bug, simply drag all sliders in the Options>Video menu to nil, and increase anti-aliasing. I got it to work with 2x, I believe anything will be effective.
Once you're out of the sewers, put the graphic settings to whatever you'd like. It's no longer an issue.

Pug_Fugly (2009-09-17)

Anyone who's wondering how to make third party mods work, I tested another poster's method, and it works for replacing meshes and textures. I'm about to start testing it with hairs, faces and armor.
Right click in "Oblivion GOTY.app" and "Show Package Contents"
Navigate to: Files>Bethesda Softworks>Oblivion>Data
Make sure to copy the entire contents of this directory, and save it somewhere you're likely to remember. I recommend a couple directories up.
Paste the contents of your desired mods into "Contents>Resources...Oblivion>data", replace all.
Open the "plugins.txt" you should have created in directory:
"[user]>Library>Preferences>Oblivion Preferences>p_drive>User>Local Settings>Application Data>Oblivion
(If you haven't yet created these two .txt files, follow instructions listed on a few previous TPB pages of comments)
create entries for any .esm and .esp files contained in your unpackaged mod.
Many of these mods come in the format *.7z, an archiving format not unlike .zip or .rar.
The program "eZ 7z" is free, simple, small, and works great. If you're like me, and find most (or all) of the clothing in this game to be hideous and make you look like either a retard or a hobo, this method is worth the time. I'll post any errors or troubles I run into.

Pug_Fugly (2009-09-18)

Final post, this should explain whatever else is missing.
First off, Mac OS has a funny feature. When you extract data from an archive, it does two things:
1) Creates a folder in the target directory with the name of the file, and extracts all archived data into that directory.
2) Overwrites folders with identical names, rather than just files within those folder. As such, if you have: "data>textures>armor" with ten folders within that directory, and you copy "data>textures>armor" from a newly unpackaged mod, the second will overwrite the first, including all subdirectories within the first "data>textures>armor".
So, when modding Oblivion on a mac, you first need to create a directory, and for every mod you unpack, painstakingly pull the individual files and directories out and create a little library, then drag/drop all that collected crap into "Oblivion Files>Bethesda Softworks>Oblivion>Data>[Folder]" Where folder is the directory in which the unpackaged contents are stored.
Sometimes there'll be novel folder names in mods, but there're a lot of generic ones, like "armor" "clothing" "characters" "menu" etc. With those, you have to pull the contents of those directories and paste them into individual the Oblivion>Data>[Folder]>[Subfolder] directories. Don' know how hard that sentence is to understand, but it was weird to write.
Further, since you can't use OBSE (Oblivion Script Extender) or OBMM (Oblivion Mod Manager) on Mac OS, you're pretty limited in what you can load into the game. Mostly just new textures and meshes, character models, etc. Anything extending gameplay functionality (a previous poster mentioned DeadlyReflex mod, for instance) is out of the question until OBSE, OMM are ported to OS X.
I'm having some problems getting a couple mods to work. I don't know if they depend on a later version of the game... v. 1.2.0.49 or something is the latest, besides the "Unofficial Official Oblivion Patch v. 3.2.0." It says it's only dependent on Bab.esm.
Speaking of which, a word on load order. I don't know why it is, but Mac OS doesn't do load order like Windows, from the top down. It's reversed... kinda. Here's a link to one of the only pages on the web to tackle this problem:

Posts by MacVega and RageBattle
Basically, you want your .esm's on the bottom, with mods climbing upwards in order of importance. So, if you have barbarized mods, including female model replacer, then clothing meshes and textures, you'd do:
brutalizer_clothing.esp
brutalizer.esp
brutalizer.esm
DLC.esp
DLC.esp
DLC.esp
Oblivion.esm
And, unlike Windows oblivion modding, you don't put the .esm's together, with packages of .esp's in sequential order listed downwards.
Even knowing this, I can't get a couple mods functioning that should work, including Barbarized BrashLeatherArmor.esp and The Dark Lord Armor.esp. W/e, not too worried about it.
Hope these posts help put some things together for peeps. Corrections and additions welcomed. I hope someone ports OBMM and particularly OBSE, thought it'd be a lot of work. I do know they rely on Python and wxPython, the first of which OS X comes with, the second of which there's a brand new download for. Problem is OBSE and OBMM are in *.exe format.
cheers.

Hi to all! i have just downloaded this torrent and the game works almost perfectly,but the game freezes for 1 sec after and before combats, please tell me how to fix that... in the 2nd (or 3rd i don't remember) ther's a post of Mr_Lax that tells:
ya, i figured it out. just go into

Then search that file for the line saying "videoram" = "64" and change it to "videoram" = "your vram here"
if i change the vram then it fix that 1 sec freeze?
there's only one problem... i don't know how much vram has my imac, plz help

My character keeps walking backwards and it really pisses me off to where it is unplayable, how would I fix this>

Zezlol (2009-12-31)

The game is awesome. I've got over 40 hours on my Oblivion account now. But today when I toggled with the ingame brightness, the game got really messed up. Everything had a blue tint to it. I exited and restarted, but now whenever I load my save file, the screen is only blue. The crosshair is there and so is the little map on the bottom, I can hear sounds when I move and such but there's no visuals.
Any ideas? =[

Zezlol (2009-12-31)

Nevermind, after I reinstalled the game I figured HDR must've been turned on somehow. :) Awesome torrent, as I've said, I've gotten 40 hours out of this great game!

1 question: Can someone please explain how to use the console? Thank you very much

@lucus27: You use the console if you wanna take some cheat!!! (that's not fair anyhow, just for fun). You can check the cheating code in the Oblivion's site. There are many

utron11 (2010-02-02)

@tangucho: go to the video settings in the game, check all the things in there.
By the way, check your video card or your main board. This game does not compatible for non-intel main board

tangucho (2010-02-03)

Hi. I managed the application to work.
The thing is that everytime I start to ride a horse in one of the first quest, the program crashes and goes back to desktop.
does the DLCHorseArmor.esp solves this??
thank you

tangucho (2010-02-04)

The game keeps crashing after I pick up and ride my horse in Chesnut.
Any idea if the mods solve this bug??

isbent (2010-02-07)

@tangucho
That sounds like a random bug. Try doing some other quests first, or not using the horse for the time being, and then go back and try it again. I've had this approach work with a few other quests senario's. If not, it may be a bug, I'll repost if I run into it. That's the first horse you get I think, so it won't impact the game a whole lot if you don't get to ride it.
The only thing the mod does is allow you to purchase armour for the horse.
THANK YOU SALA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm getting no stutters, only the occasional lag; using the following configuration.
1680X1050 using the DVI port on a 22" WS, 16x anti-aliasing, medium texture, furthest view distance, but low Item, object and person view distance. No grass, tree distance around 20%, and only buildings and trees viewable in the distance. Bloom and HDR off. The eye candy is still breathtaking. It actually seems to run smoother than my PC version in some places.
And using the previous instructions I found here I'm also using the following mods:
allinonebasement.esp
DLCFrostcrag - Unofficial Patch.esp
DLCFrostcrag.esp
DLCHourseArmor - Unofficial Patch.esp

isbent (2010-02-07)

OH!
I don't know if this makes a difference, but if you notice the mods listed above copied from my plugins.txt are listed in alphabetical order.
It could be why all mine are working?
So you can go to the app package contents folder, the data folder where the plugins are; sort them by name, and modify the plugins.txt accordingly.

isbent (2010-02-08)

Oh yeah, one last thing.
Fog is your enemy. I think, in an attempt to spice up the distance views, there's allot of fog. If your running the latest Nvidia drivers on a windows box this ca look great. My MacBoook handles fog like poo, it looks terrible, i'd prefer ascii mist, whatever that looks like. There's no comparison to how the PC video card drivers handle fog. So....
SETFOG.
syntax must be
SETFOG value value
I've no idea what the ratio actually does, but the first value seems to handle foreground fog, and the second value background fog. But some settings will do strange things like make all the trees look like fog, and everything else normal, which kinda sucks. So you have to find what works best for you.
I use
SETFOG 0 50000
It seems to provide a little fog at distances to keep shit mysterious, and the performance increase is phenomenal.
The only downside is that you must do this every-time you restart the game.

godfunk (2010-02-10)

I got 245 hours invested in the game, but ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard, I've been taking a POUNDING--sometimes mere seconds between complete crashes.
I'm considering reinstalling the game, but does anybody know where I can find the saved files? I've been all up and down the package contents but can't find them anywhere.

ready?

isbent (2010-02-10)

I found a work around for the ultra high collision sounds.
It seems the problem with impact sound comes from an incompatibility between wine and hardware sound acceleration.
In [audio] section of Oblivion.ini set bDSoundHWAcceleration=0 and
bUseSoftwareAudio3D=1 to turn it off and you won't jump out of your chair any more every time you run into a fallen weapon.
Taken from

there's some really good info on this thread for performance tweaks as well.

godfunk (2010-02-13)

Isbent, thank you much for the data. I may have jumped conclusions with the whole Snow Leopard thing. I was tweaking around Hermaeus Mora's shrine which is deep, deep, deep in da sticks. I'm back to the main storyline and the game's been like a rock ever since.
Looking forward to correcting the clanging, but I've lived with it for so long, I might just miss it...

godfunk (2010-02-13)

I checked the Oblivion.ini file, under the audio section, and I don't seem to have any listing of bDSoundHWAcceleration or bUseSoftwareAudio3D. Should I just put it in anyway?

Oh! and any recommendations for what I should do when I first get the game up and running?
Things like the sound collision and so on, any other bugs I should worry about?

tangucho (2010-02-13)

does anybody knows a reliable site were all the plugins available for this fantastic port are available?
thank you!

isbent (2010-02-14)

@godfunk
the oblivion file in your preferences folder may not have the 300_Combat Sounds line, but the bUseSoftwareAudio3D=0 is there, 9 up from the bottom as seen in your post. ;)
As long as software Audio is enabled, that should make a bit of a difference. Body falls were still a little strange for me so I'm using the 300_Combat Sounds mod, the sword draw / bow sounds are pretty sweet and the body falls are a little less violent on the speakers.
@wilb0b

is the best guide to get you started, you might find as things come up, your .ini alter skills grow, and you start looking for more references. There's 1001 oblivion.ini hints out there, if you google by parameter you can usually quickly find the parameters function and desired section.
If anything catastrophic happens to your oblivion.ini and you don't have a backup, you can delete it and the game will write the default back into your preferences folder.
Sorry about the seeding, I moved the data file and forgot to reroute the torrent. I uncapped my up to make up for it. XD
@tangucho
will get you started. If there's a mod you can't find it at http://www.tesnexus.com/, it doesn't exist. =)

Oops. That should have said
"the oblivion file in your preferences folder may not have the bDSoundHWAcceleration= line"

As for the torrent itself, it's one of the best I've ever had to deal with! (The mac Borderlands torrent is great too in this respect)
The game is, well, oblivion. Just plain AWESOME!!! I had the same problem as some people in the beginning, however; after the opening sequence runs perfectly, no graphics show :( this I fixed (after reading other comments) by turning on anti-aliasing and bloom lighting. Game runs perfectly with graphics upped all the way.

dude. if that happens again don't delete whatever's downloaded already, the torrent may have developed a problem. Just come back here, redownload the torrent, and save in the same location. Your client should data check the existing data and continue where you left off.

lol well thanks, I got it and frikkin LOVE it.
i noticed there's a few areas, and items that aren't working right in the game though. There are these HUGE "!" symbols inside a yellow triangle on certain landscapes, but they aren't too frustrating, easily worked around, has anyone ever figured out how to get mods with ".7z" files? I tried a 7zip program but it didn't know what to do. I'm trying to get the "Goddess Store" mod, OH! before I get too far ahead of myself can I have save files sent to me from another computer? a windows in this case. If I can, I'll need Goddess Store and the HGEC mods, and maybe a few more cause my profile on the other comp has those mods.
If any light can be shed on this issue, it would be greatly appreciated :D!!!

Hey It's been about a month since I dled this, and so far, besides the loud collision noises, everything works just fine. I've got several mods running besides the DLC's that come with this download, but when I try to use Midas Magic Spells mod, the game crashes. Anyone else encountered this problem?

lucus27 (2010-03-09)

It's clear to me how to make mods run, but I just cannot modify the data file, anyone knows how to do it, it's a problem of permission I think... thanks

davidbay93 (2010-03-10)

ContraOner (2010-03-15)

I have it downloaded it works but i cant get mods to work can anyone help with that?

ContraOner (2010-03-16)

heres my problem it tells me that the folder can not be modified like i cant do anything to it. also im not big on the whole technology thing but if someone could explain this to me that would be cool

lucus27 (2010-03-16)

I'm encountering the same problem. If someone could help us that'd be nice

sjk1995 (2010-03-17)

when i start up the game and the title cinematic and the menu load fine but as soon as i start playing all i can see is a black screen but i can see my HUD just fine and when i walk around i can hear me talk and then i can hear that one asshole telling me that the gaurds are coming for me... its like my character is blind help me please.

lucus27 (2010-03-22)

at contraOner:
hey I think I found a solution. I'm now able to modify the data file where you should put your mods files in. If the mods works then I'll explain!
soon...

lucus27 (2010-03-22)

ok. so. Open oblivion.dmg, then look in your applications there should be a file called utilitaries and inside there is another file called "disk utilitary" (my mac runs in french so sorry for the translation. Open it, then click on the oblivion logo (at the left) and then click on "new image" (top of window) , and choose the format: "reading/writing . Ok now I recommend you to name this new oblivion file "oblivion2" or smthg like this... Now you should be able to put your mods in the data file of this "new oblivion". If it does not work or if I'm not very clear I'll try to eyplain it better.
hope this helps!

Possumz (2010-03-23)

To install mods, right click on the application and click "Show Package contents. Then navigate to Files>Bethesda Softworks>Oblivion>Data, and drop any mods into the folder. Then open DLCList.txt, and write the names of any mods you want on each separate line after the header, and other mods (you might want to copy and paste names)

lucus27 (2010-03-23)

at possumz:
are you sure that you need to write the name of the mod + ext. in the DLC.list file? I thought it was only in the plugin.txt?

Possumz (2010-03-24)

Lol, that reminds me, you also need to put it in User>Library>Preferences>Oblivion Preferences>p_drive>User>Local Settings>Application Data>Oblivion>Plugins.txt. I was having trouble before when I just put it in Plugins.txt, but if it works for you, go for it, it'd be a lot easier.

lucus27 (2010-03-24)

For mods: once the mod downloaded, the main file: nameofthemod.esp goes directly in the data file, and then put the files that are in the texture directly in the texture of your data file. For example, if in the texture file of your mod you've got: "clothes" and "menu", put those two folders in the texture file of the data file. The same for the meshes. I think that's how it works, for it works for me. If anyone though have an idea how to organize the data file, so that it is not a complete mess...

sjk1995 (2010-03-25)

possumz
i am not able to just drop one of my mods into the folder you are talking about it just wont give me the option to... :(

sjk1995 (2010-03-25)

sjk1995 (2010-03-26)

why is it when i open up files that are marked .zip it unarchives them with no problem but when i open a file that is marked .7z (which are most of my mods)
it opens it up in text edit ...please help

Bobthedeadly (2010-03-31)

Just finally finished downloading this this morning, and I will seed for as long as I possibly can (until my hard drive fills up and I have to delete it. I have about 100 GB left so it should be a few months at least). Since I started playing, I've encountered a few problems...
#1 - The floating exclamation mark glitch: I fixed that one by following hipplezombie's instructions. Thanks!
#2 - The battle music lag-glitch. Would the split-second freeze be fixed if I only deleted the battle music and not the rest? I've really liked the music in the 2 hours or so I've played so far, and I don't want to play the whole game without it. Is there any other way to get rid of that freeze without deleting all the music?
#3 - The loud noises. This is probably the easiest one to deal with, but I'd much rather not have to listen to a loud clang every time I walk over a flower in the middle of the fucking woods. I've seen a few comments about how to fix that, but nothing seems concrete. Anyone know a way that will work for sure?
I have no interest in mods at the moment, though when I finish the game I will no doubt be working hard to add a little more spice to my second play through.
Anyway, thanks for the excellent torrent, I will seed for a long time (though at my internet speed I probably won't be able to up as much as I'd like).

Bobthedeadly (2010-03-31)

2 more things:
1- I changes the bUseSoftwareAudio3D to 1 and it didn't seem to make a bit of difference, but maybe it did and I just don't really notice.
2- I forgot, but sometimes the audio in the game just cuts out altogether. Music, chopping sounds, speech, everything. It often comes back after I kill something, but sometimes it goes out and doesn't come back for a long time. I missed the guard's entire speech after the king died, and the sound didn't come back until after my next battle. Would this be fixed be deleting some or all of the music folder? I'll try some stuff, and comment again if I find anything out.

antman872 (2010-04-07)

THIS WAS SENT TO ME BY SOMEONE WHO DOESNT HAVE A PIRATEBAY ACCOUNT "i've found that the issue, involving a "1 sec freeze" before and after battle sequences, can be resolved (at least on my computer) by plugging headphones in. I have a new Macbook Pro 3.06ghz dual core intel w/ 4 gigs ram, 512g vram. Anyway, I don't know very much about the technicalities of the crossover from PC to mac that might have caused these issues. But this might give someone who does a clue to a fix. From what i've gathered, almost all of the game's issues are audio related with the exception of the HDR lighting. And whatever it is about a mac that changes with it's audio when it converts from speakers to headphones seems to have something to do with it"

dennan14 (2010-05-03)

Mine also has a blue screen, but i can see HUD and hear sounds, how can i fix this?

jd03 (2010-05-21)

For all those new to this torrent and too lazy to look through the pages of comments, to make the graphics show, turn the anti-aliasing UP, not down. I have a 13" macbook pro 2.56 with the integrated processor and I play 16x anti aliasing and almost all graphics on high--you can too.
To activate the expansions, look on page 7 for hipplecamp or something. Otherwise the entrance to the expansions is a bunch of "!"

buckykatt321 (2010-05-22)

I have a macbook pro and I have it set to Higher performance instead of longer battery life and I only get a black screen but I can still see the HUD and hear stuff but it doesnt work

Hi! I fidgeted with the video settings, and everything works. Now, I'm having difficulties adding mods to the game. I've followed instructions thoroughly, but nothing seems to work... I have the plugin and the DLCList files in the right place, I (think) I've placed all my mods in the right folder(s). I have Oblivion for the PC, but may someone help me out with this issue? Please elaborate for a newbie, thanks.

ThMaggot95 (2010-07-29)

SEEEEDDDDD!!

ThMaggot95 (2010-08-01)

or anyone who is experiencing that blocky graphical glitch, I had it too when I first tried the game but I was able to fix it.
I changed the resolution to 1440 x 900, turned on anti aliasing to 2X and changed to bloom lighting.
It fixed everything for me so far. The graphics are crisp and sound is fine but I haven't played past the introduction.
If that doesn't work just keep messing with the settings. I suspect the blocky graphics glitch might have something to do with running the game on to low of a resolution.
I'm running the game on a first generation MBP with a Radeon X1600 card, and frankly I'm amazed this game seems to run just as well as when I had it installed on a windows partition. Good work. THIS WORKS I TRIED THIS THANKS TO AN EARLIER COMMENTER, if you have the black screen , do this and put on highest res

Jefe3737 (2010-08-03)

Does anyone know if the Orrery official plug-in works with this? Like is it included since its the GOTY edition or will the plug in that you can download work or does it need re-writing or what?

willisb (2010-09-28)

Hey, i got all of the DLC up and running, but my question is about mods. I have them in the right folders. The actual mod data is in files/bethesda softworks/oblivion/data/MODFILES.esp
i also have the mod names in the plugins.txt file under:
preferences/p drive/user/local settings/application data/oblivion/plugins.txt
i have these with the DLC, which works. the mod files are .esp. However, do they need to be unix exec files, because under info it says theyre just document files (not .doc), if i need to convert them what should i do, or how do i do it? thanks, oh and if you are having trouble getting the DLC files, then follow the paths i included or just look on further pages.

Candyman87 (2010-10-02)

Hey, sorry but I can't seem to get the LOCATION for the SAVE GAME files :(
YES, I read all the previous comments/posts here on where to find it but this folder doesn't exist although I have a character with 30 hrs of playtime!
Any suggestions are appreciated!

Candyman87 (2010-10-02)

OK - sorry - I found it! The path for the save game is for your Macintosh HD - NOT for the package content of the Oblivion Goty.app!!!!!!

papillotte666 (2010-10-23)

Is there anyway to modify the settings on the config files to get the french subtitles or the french voices ? Because my english is not terrible for a RPG :/

Willtroy (2010-10-27)

Game works fine so far, only a weird thing is happening, the dialogue options I have with just about every character in Imperial City is:
1. Imperial City
2. Rumors
I think the "Imperial City" dialogue option is suppose to say something different. I have never played this game before, but I'm pretty certain that it isn't suppose to be that way. Only because the characters response to my choosing "Imperial city" varies with some odd answers. For example, I walked up to an NPC and my options were either to say "Rumors" or "Imperial City". I chose Imperial City, and the NPC responded, "What? How dare you!"
So, I'm sure there is something missing there. Can anyone tell me whats up? I hope this something that everyone knows about and knows of a way to fix this.
Other than that, the game works perfectly on my macbook 13" GeForce 9400M. And of course by modifying the Vid settings per the comments.

Guzzyo (2010-11-02)

Hi, Im new to downloading games. I have now downloaded this game but when I pull it into the Applications folder, the game wont start. It will only start if I open it when it is in the .dmg file. Also, could anyone write clear instructions on how to fix this and how to get the DLCs up and running? :) Thanks!

thedove1 (2010-11-09)

Hey guys, First off nice upload.
My question is this; my mouse controls seem to be all over the place.
i've tried different settings and my movements either end with it on the top or the bottom of my screen. i use a wacom set as a mouse; but all the drivers are up to date.
if i plug my ps3 controller in my character just spins around.
i'd love to play this on my mac, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know. thanks.

Okay Hi, I'm completely new to torrenting games.
And I was wondering how do you get mods to work? :|
I've read previous comments and I can only find the ' Oblivion GOTY ' folder, And all it has in it is the game and the read me.
The game works fine, And i installed it right. I was just wondering where all the other folders are for modding the game & ect. : |

accrdnboy (2010-11-29)

@ herewegox
presumably theyre inside it- right click the icon and click "show package contents"

To enable the plug-ins you have to:
- open the game once to create the preferences folder
- ctrl-click on the game, show package contents
- go to Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Data
- copy the file DLCList.txt
- go to ~/Library/Preferences/Oblivion Preferences/p_drive/User/Local Settings/Application Data/Oblivion
- paste DLCList.txt
- copy it in the same folder and rename it Plugins.txt
Cheeeeers !!! :)))

Hey guys.
Great torrent. I've played for several hours but from starting the game every once in a while the game will just shut down and give me the message
"Unhandled page fault on read access to 0xedc8bff2 at address 0xffff07c2."
Does anyone know why this happens or what i can do to prevent it?

If the screen gets blue when you try to start a new game, just go to esc>options>video and turn HDR off.

burbonpants (2011-01-27)

Every time I alt-tab out of the game and then go back into it the screen just becomes one color the controls still respond and I can still hear the sound but other than that I can only see one color, someone know how to fix this?

rambambula (2011-02-17)

On page 13 someone posted instructions how to make mods working... And so far looks good, however, for me, horse armor causes the game to stall..
Sound sometimes disappears for X amount of time. Returns, though after a while (always been like that for me).
'Fooling around' ( trying out ) with graphic settings in game-options menu will help you find a fix for graphic problems ...at least on MBP ( can't remember the specs ). Running on my iMac, turning anti-aliasing on 2x solved pretty much everything.

ScorpionNoll (2011-02-22)

For anyone wondering.
If you have a black screen when you start
Load up the game and go to options
Go on video then scroll down to the bottom
Turn anti alias to x2
Then is should work :D Hope this helped

ScorpionNoll (2011-02-22)

I also just turned Bloom Lighting off and it looks Much better
Bloom lighting is just a little bit above anti alias

rambambula (2011-03-01)

Does anyone else have the sound-disappearance problem I mentioned earlier? It seems very random to me and also appears to be somehow linked to battles; entering or exiting a battle, the sounds disappears and comes back. Sometimes it does, however, just disappear for no apparent reason and can be gone for a few minutes.

Maza64 (2011-03-22)

@Fikes
I got exactly the same problem. Game freezes for 1-2 second just before going in to combat. Any thing to do to resolve this? Games is kinda unplayable because of that....

jim256 (2011-03-24)

Well at first all I got when I started was a black screen (iPC 10.5.6 Leopard) but then it turned out I had to plug the DVI connector into the output nearest the motherboard, then I got graphics.
However the sound is kind of crackly / distorted and not clear at all. Is there a fix for this. I tried going to the Oblivion.ini file inside the package, and setting bDSoundHWAcceleration=0 and
bUseSoftwareAudio3D=1 in the [audio] section but it's still the same. Right as soon as the game starts.
Anyone know a fix? Might be because I'm using an Mbox but other games work ok.

daftjustice (2011-04-05)

GREAT TORRENT, i forgot when i downloaded it, speed etc. i just thought i'd ask if anyone had the same problem as me?
the thing is when an object drops or my avatar walks over loose objects the noise that object makes of a stable surface is deafening and louder than the music, speech ect. ive tried turning down all kinds of specialised sound settings but no cigar. another issue is when the music changes from, for example, peaceful town music into battle music there is around a 2/3 second lag before things run smoothly again and vice versa for when i kill the enemy. this isnt a big issue for me as i normally sneak with bow and arrow but just so people know this might be a problem with the game, otherwise its perfect THANKS!!! (still seeding too ;) )

mrspankmynoodles (2011-04-09)

it's easy to install, just drag it in to applications and it installs itself.
But for some strange reason there is no text when i play it! just random "THINGS" instead of text.
Does anyone know how to fix this!?!?!

urnxtwhiz (2011-04-24)

@daftjustice
While I don't know how to solve your problem with the deafening crashing of items (I get it too), I do know how to fix the battle lag.
Simply open the package contents and navigate to the sounds and/or music. Locate a folder marked music and it's subfolder "Battle" or "Combat" (I can't remember which it is) or something along those lines. Move that folder into the "Exploration" folder.
For some reason, the battle music transition causes lag during and after combat. Moving this file removes that particular issue, however you won't get the music during battle. A small price to pay for playability, I suppose.

tjj10 (2011-05-09)

No images are loading or anything while I play. I open the game, i get to the main menu screen, but when I go to create a character/play it is a big gray screen with the HUD at the bottom of the screen (red/blue/green bars at bottom left, a fist, some kind of heart thing, and a compass). At the create a character screen i get the options to look how I want and stuff but i can't see the character (again, the big gray part is where i'm assuming the character should be).
I have a macbook pro from the summer of 2008
Processor: 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo
Memory: 2 gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
Like a 15inch screen (I think, or 17 can't remember)
I think my graphics card is: 'Chipset Model: GeForce 8600M GT'
I feel like my computer should be able to handle it. Do I need to update something? I have Mac OS X, version 10.5.8 (I think that's the most up-to-date version). if anyone had this problem and fixed it I would love some advice (not very comp savy)

never mind, got it!!! : )

rn777 (2011-05-10)

Other than the collision noise being relatively loud and a slight lag when the music changes as others have said, everything works great. Also have mods working!

nyseth (2011-05-18)

I cannot find the music folder when i open package contents.. Any help?

Emballage (2011-05-20)

@tjj10 I'm having the same problem, only a gray screen as soon as the actual game loads, wondering how you(anyone else who would know) solved it? Have more or less same mac.

EvilsFace (2011-05-21)

First of all thanks for the great torrent Sala91
@nyseth Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Data.
And now for my question, does anyone know how to install mods that are not .bsa or .esp, texture packs for example?
if so great otherwise w/e.

hellsyea (2011-05-31)

AMAZING TORRENT- best game ive downloaded on the pirate bay. only one problem- the island from the Shivering Isles expansion shows up as a bunch of ! sighns in the water. but other than that its amazing. if anyone finds out how to mod it please tell me.

antman872 (2011-06-04)

Great GAME... cant wait till Skyrim comes out on 11-11-11 i just bought top MacBook Pro 15
2.2ghz i7 > 3.2 orverclocked
4gb RAM 1.3ghz
ATI Radeon HD 6750M 1GB
500gb @7200rpm
but if you want to play this game at full unported potential install Windows with Bootcamp, you can use much better tools and more mods....

bamboocat (2011-06-04)

Thanks so much for the amazing game!
Also, for anyone who is having trouble once they reach the character creation (all i could see was a few symbols and a box) go to options, scroll to towards the bottom and turn off the HDR option. That should fix it.

infinend (2011-06-09)

Thank you so much for this wonderful torrent Sala91.
Everything is running perfectly for me except that when I am in the game my character is constantly pulled in one direction, almost as though there is a stuck key (which there isn't).
I have tried changing my controls in numerous ways, changing my resolution, and even some settings in the Oblivion.ini file all to no avail.
I saw a few others mention this earlier in the comments, but no solution ever arose, so I was just wondering if anyone else ran into this problem and has a fix.
Thanks again for the torrent, I will continue to seed!

greekjo (2011-06-25)

THANK YOU. I can't believe it works. It doesn't lag AT all for me, and I'm running a Macbook, Mac OS X 10.5.8, 2.13GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2GB 800MHZ DDR2 SDRAM. Pretty amazing if it runs on this. Thanks again, does anyone know how to use the console on this?

Is there a way to make Oblivion Mod Manager for this?

CeladonCatamount (2011-10-17)

PLEASE HELP:
I have read the previous comments about getting Shivering Isles to work, and I understand the concept. However, in the first step, the path given
("Go to User/Library/Preferences/Oblivion Preferences/p_drive/User/Local Settings/Application Data/Oblivion")
does not seem to exist, and I can't locate the data folder anywhere! Maybe I'm just missing something, (Finder is not my friend) or maybe I downloaded it weird? The game works great otherwise. Any ideas?
Thank you so much for letting me play my favorite game on my new MacBook!

staindman4747 (2011-10-19)

i am having the same issue as mrtonso12. the text is partially there, fuzzed out. i really would like to start playing this game, as i have had it for about a week now on my laptop and still have not figured out what the issue is. please help!!!!!!!!

dralic (2011-11-02)

I lowered resolution and got it to work.
Almost no bugs, except the door in Niben Bay appears to not have been installed correctly.
I know about User/Library/Preferences/Oblivion Preferences/p_drive/user/local settings/application data/oblivion, but what do I do from there?

Grey_Fox8000 (2011-11-05)

Hey Sala91. I love this torrent. It is a dream come true. Can you or whoever made this mac version of Oblivion do it for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim? It comes out next week. It would make my year :)

uRabbit (2011-11-12)

Some issues with this and OS X 10.7 Lion.
Intro videos take about 5 minutes, due to stutter and slow load time. Also get staticky sound.
Menus work okay, though constantly have staticky noise.
In-game, the static is less, but still present. Have yet to play much, but the game itself seems to run smoothly.

legatusivvxiii (2011-11-12)

Everything appears to be workings such as menus and parts of the gameplay screen, yet the background is a blueish colour and so I cannot see anything. Any ideas on how to fix that?

uRabbit (2011-11-12)

@legatusivvxiii
Disable HDR Lighting in Video options.

uRabbit (2011-11-13)

Tried again. Game froze at point where the other prisoner first speaks to you.
Going to download Windows version and try with PlayOnMac.

nikkixtc (2011-11-14)

So ive added all the .txt files, the door to shivering isles is there, but the soldier isnt there, so the story line doesnt progress and i cant get in. you can hear him talking but hes really not there at all -_-

kaleb.walton (2011-11-17)

when i open oblivion everything works fine untill get to some menus. the mouse is a box and the writing is some weird tipe of writing. any help would be appreciated

zombird (2011-11-23)

"Exception raised
Unimplemented function devenum.DllGetClassObject
called at address ox7730f081.
Do you wish to debug it?"
I got this too, after you go on a quest that gives you a horse. My save file is shot to hell now, can't even play for 5 seconds without this thing coming up.

fimpson (2011-11-24)

So I played through the beginning sequence. Got out to the world. Explored around a bit. While I'm playing my MBP runs out of battery. Didn't ahve a charger on me so I thought I would resume playing at home.
But when I get home I get this message every time I try to open the game:
"Exception Rased:
Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x00000000 at address 0x00498749. Do you wish to debug it ?"
It gives me the option of "yes" or "no". If I click "no", the message goes away and the game stops doing anything. If I click"yes" the little dot under the icon in the tray stays on for about 20-30 seconds then goes out.
I don't get it. It was working perfectly fine before, but now it isn't. Does anyone have the same problem??? Can anyone help???

fimpson (2011-11-24)

Just went through literally the entire ammount of comments looking for an answer. It seems I am the only person to have this particular problem.
So fucking pissed. I was just astonished that it was all running smoothly, but then suddenly it just doesn't.
Have I permanently fucked up the game? Should I erase it and re-install? If I'm going to do this, I would like to back up my saves so I don't have to do the entire tunnel sequence again, but I can't find the saves file. Anyone know where it is?

fimpson (2011-11-24)

fimpson (2011-11-24)

So I found the saves, saved them elsewhere, deleted oblivion (but not the .dmg) and re-copied it to applications but it STILL does exactly the same thing.
I'm starting to wonder if I have to download it again...

Fireicee1 (2011-12-04)

@nikkixtc
Same exact thing happened to me. I heard his voice, but his physical model isn't there.
I fixed it by opening the console (press the "~" key)
type in the following: player.placeatme 000133BE
Gaius Prentus (The guard) should spawn right next to you.
Enjoy the Shivering Isles :D

Hello, I downloaded this torrent and t has worked flawlessly, except the DLC, I read every single comment, about 17 pages of them, and ive tried everything people said, but I still only get the shivering isles quest and when i go to the strange door its still all the exclamation marks in tilted boxes.

JJ800M (2012-06-18)

Works fine on my iMac (2,66 ghz intel core 2 duo, 4 gb ram, Nvidia 9400, OSX Lion (10.7.3).
At first everything loaded but i kept getting a black screen (even though the sound was going and the game was being played) but after i changed the anti-aliasing to "2x" then it worked. :)

legion595 (2012-06-21)

@fimpson
I too am having the EXACT same issue, i was playing and it was working perfectly and out of nowhere the "Exception raised" comes up, now every time i click on oblivion to play this comes up, i press "Yes" to debug and my game hovers in the dock for about 5 seconds then quits and the cycle continues, i have tried deleting the preferences, all the saves etc, i have no idea, does ANYONE HAVE A SOLUTION TO THIS?
thanks

legion595 (2012-06-24)

Just an update, i re downloaded oblivion and it still won't startup, i keep getting the "exception raised" thing, i wish someone would come up with a solution to this >:|

legion595 (2012-06-25)

Ok, i fixed my issue by COMPLETELY wiping my computer,
Next, to save people time so they dont have to scroll through 18 pages of comments looking on how to get the mods to work, this is how you do it.
TO GET ALL THE MODS WORKING (BATTLEHORN CASTLE NOT INCLUDED):
- open the game once to create the preferences folder
- Right click on Oblivion, "Show package contents"
-Next go to Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion/Data
- copy the file DLCList.txt (The entire file itself not the text)
- go to ~/Library/Preferences/Oblivion Preferences/p_drive/User/Local Settings/Application Data/Oblivion
- paste DLCList.txt
- Now make a copy of "DLCList.txt, Next rename the file to Plugins.txt and paste the previous file again, You should now have two files in the Oblivion folder.
DONE!

Ukyoranmared (2012-09-06)

Yosh! This download is AMAZING XD But I cant

Cant find my oblivion preferences folder ): I even played the game a bit

MacUser69 (2012-11-09)

For those of you who cant find the preferences
Go to - Library/Preferences/Oblivion Preferences/p_drive/user/local settings/application data/oblivion

DethEye (2012-11-23)

Hello.
I've played Oblivion and it runs exceptionally well (except the really loud clanks of objects/bodies falling but that's tolerable). However, I can't seem to get my dlc working.
I've located the DLClist.txt file within the 'transgaming' folder which, from reading through the comments, is supposed to be the file to copy.
However, I can't find the preferences folder for Oblivion. I go to:
"MacintoshHD/Library/Preferences"
All that's in there is a bunch of ".plist" files and a few folders that don't have anything like 'Oblivion', 'Bethesda', or 'Elder Scrolls' in their names.
So, I go to:
"Applications/Oblivion GOTY/Contents/Resources/Preferences"
but there's nothing there containing Application Data or whatever.
Then:
"Applications/Oblivion and Settings/User/Local Settings/Application Data"
But there's no Oblivion folder in that one. I went into "/c_drive" because the other two folders are empty.
I'm quite new to Macbook Pros (mine is OS X, 10.8.2) and to Macintosh computers in all.
I can run the game smoothly and the Shivering Isles quest even comes up but with no quest icon and the island isn't even there (a bunch of question marks when I swim to it).

asorrels (2012-11-28)

The game is amazing except for the 1-2 second lag in battle. When I go to Shivering Isles door it has a bunch of questions marks instead of the island. I was going through the instructions on how to fix it, but my Oblivion Preferences folder isn't anywhere. So i don't know what I'm doing wrong. Please help!!!! Thanks!
Playing on a late 2011 MacBook Pro on Lion.

Forerunners (2012-12-11)

I still cannot get the expansions working after reading all of the comments. I've beat everything there is to do in the game except the DLC's. The folder DOESN'T EXIST in mine. Please does anyone have a solution?

FoulPest (2013-02-13)

weird how i own this game and for the life of can't get x11 to even budge it just sits idle
maybe this will help

FoulPest (2013-02-14)

Relentless crashing seconds after loading the game haven't even done more than take my first ten paces
i would like to play the game, after all i did buy it

froggstat (2013-03-22)

works perfecto ;)

tcy (2013-03-26)

so far works well on my macbook pro running 10.8.2... i DID have to change the anti-aliasing setting to 2x however it was an easy enough "fix" for what looked at first like a broken game

explojoseph (2013-03-27)

Ya, too bad you can't use a controller for this one. I usually use external programs like GamePad Companion to map the mouse to a joystick and keys to buttons, but for some RETARDED reason this game comes with controls already mapped. And, not in a way you can change. L2 turns your characters head left, while using a joystick makes you look straight up and not be able to moves. The other buttons are fucked up too..
THAT'S LAME. Isn't there a way too turn off controller detection for this game/wrapper so that I can use my external controller plugin to play this?
The built in game controls (which can't be changed) conflict with my external plugin...
HELP!

James2244 (2013-05-07)

Hello, does anyone know how to make this game run in windowed mode? I've tried editing the .ini file, but it doesn't seem to have any effect.
I enjoy multitasking without having to alt tab every other second, so if anyone has any idea about this I would be very grateful indeed, thank you for this torrent.

capajalosa (2013-08-15)

Best torrent ever for Mac games. Works great with the x2 "anti-aliasing" advice for running on a Mountain Lion 18.2 and the advice from legion595 for the Shivering Isles works too. BEST GAME EVER

lDioji (2013-12-10)

My game is freezing right out of the character creation process. I make the character, name them, and as soon as it says "Are you sure want to be a [class]" and I select yes, I'm in the jail cell and I have enough time to rotate only about 90 degrees before it freezes forcing me to shutdown my computer. Any help would be much appreciated.

Balbain (2014-01-27)

I am having the same problem as IDioji: the game freezes as soon as i look around. I first downloaded it about 1 & 1/2 years ago and played for tens of hours before this freeze arose. I then reckoned that the save was corrupt or something. But when i restarted the freeze followed along. It worked brilliantly before so, but i deleted the game and said fuck it. Now i'm in the mood of playing again but i can't believe there has been no solving of this freeze??

HeroinRimbaud (2015-08-05)

Quoting from the comment I made on the other torrent:
It didn't work for me... However I managed to fix it. I installed Wine, then made a wrapper and moved the files from this wrapper, used wine tricks to install dx9 then on the in-game menu turned off HDR lightning. Also for the guys that want mods: Select this as the main exe in wine "oblivion launcher" and delete "LauncherMusic.wav" Apparently what makes the launcher ignore the installation of Oblivion (or crashing) is that file... lol
So now you can play and add mods to data directory (in the launcher you can't select one by one but you can right click and use "enable all" option)
It runs great with middle textures quality.
BTW: I'm using a 11 inch Macbook Air, mid 2011
1.6 ghz intel core i5
2bg 1333Mhz DDR3 RAM
Intel HD Graphics 3000 288 MB
Lion 10.7.5
Also i deleted the .ini file before moving the files so it might help too

HeroinRimbaud (2015-08-05)

Also I don't know if using C++ in wine tricks helped for the launcher to run properly
