hi guys
when i try to install patch for oblivion, on 4% or 7% it says "Old file not found. However, a file of the same name was found. No update done since file contents do not match."
in earlier patches when the message comes it skipps it and installs the rest, but the newest stops installing after message
game is set to hi settings so it is not a problem with weak video card
or something like this
any help appreciated

You have a no cd crack.It did that to me too.Just rename the original launcher back to it's real name and after the patch you can change it back.You do still have the original right?

many people replace the original with the crack but I rename the original.So i have it around In case of a jam...

Yeah ...what I do is rename the original and then Copy and paste the crack into the folder it works great.This way you still have the original in case something like this happens.And if it does you just rename the original back to it's real name and then patch and after words rename it again so the crack works..

As far as the patch it probably will solve your game from crashing but I can't guarantee it because I don't know whats making it crash.There are lot's of bug fixes in the new patch.

yeah if you don't have the original one I'm affraid you'll need to reinstall the game.

Oh that sucks maybe a future patch will address your needs as far as crashing.
I should clarify we don't discuss pirating on ad so I hope you got an image of a copy you purchased.I just don't want you to get banned from here.Have fun :)

Well sort of.But in this case your question was about how to install a patch.And plus you have a legit copy of the game.I suppose we should stop here though about it.I don't wanna lose my senior membership rank over it I just wanted to help because that patch installer is a b8tch lol.
