@ ganja46
Make sure your video drivers are updated,
(And turn off 'bloom' lighting in the video menu.)
This thread is mainly for unsupported cards,
But you may benifit from trying one od those options,
Good luck and welcome to the forums.

While I could already get the game running, I downloaded the Old Oblivion from here to make it run better. But now I can't get rid of those rainbow colors, while on the plane of Oblivion! I've made sure the Bloom effect is off, even turned it on so I could turn it off again; and I even downloaded the oblivion.ini from here. That didn't help any. If anyone can tell me what the problem may be, I'd appreciate the help.

Just wanted to take a moment to thank those who have posted such clear and helpful information on this thread. Recently bought Oblivion on the cheap and could only get white screens outside of the menus using my RADEON 9200 128MB, P4HT 2.4Ghz, 2GB.
By patching the INI and adding texture packs as described at the start of this thread, I am now able to play at an acceptable 27-30FPS.
My trees still sometimes flicker and bushes turn blue-ish grey after playing for a while (they are fine at first). Also, when underwater, there is no change to the viewing colour - but at least the lakes, drains, and ponds are not day-glow purple!
If there are any suggestions for tweaks that might address these situations permanently I would love to hear them. Also, if someone could post a comment explaining the way that the 'smooth talk' system is supposed to work, I would be an especially happy day for me.
Thanks again for allowing me the opporotunity to play this excellent game. Readers of this board are lucky to have the kind of information that has been given here.
Cheers,
J.

Your need to replace the shaders and use the video fix,
on some cards just oldbilivion isnt enough.
Do all my recommendations on the post,
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_jump.cfm/327012/1908347
You will then be able to exit the video menu option
without crash.
You can then edit the options to fix the lighting issues.
Make sure you have the patched Oblivion.exe file
Also you should be using Oldblivion to run the game,
And not the original oblivion.exe. (To run the game itself.)

Just got the game, heard the hype, so i tried it, it detected me as med settings, i let it go, the vid before character build wouldnt play right, but i hit space and i built my character fine and played the start of the game, killed a couple rats etc.
Just dont think iv got it on the best settings, so im wondering how to get it to play smooth and look good, on a
2.4ghz p4
pny geforce 6600le AGP8x
1gb ram
Any recommendations? I was gonna get the 1.5... patch from gamespot is that a good idea?

The vid doesnt play right, it plays a couple secs, jumps, and sound jumps, then plays a couple secs etc
I can skip the vid and the gameplay is fine, dont know the fps but its smooth, and nice looking enough, but after 20 mins theres glitches like sharp spikes that arent supposed to be there and holes in the characters. Its ok after a restart tho.
Should i try the stuff at the start of this thread? Or is there anything else i can try?

Have continued to tweak things following install of latest Oldblivion set. Am happy with everything now except for indoor lighting. All indoor scenes are full-bright - no shadows at all. Any ideas of where to look for a fix in the .ini? Have hunted and pecked at stuff with 'light' and 'shadow' and 'bright' in the line titles, but no joy yet.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using a Dell laptop with an ATI Radeon 9000 with the patches and everything listed at the start of this thread my fps are fine and my graphics are good but there is one annoying problem.
Indoors it's like the shadow layer turns off and everything becomes fully lit. It will happen for a second often when I turn and then go back to normal it is really annoying, it makes my fps jump around and is really distracting.
I'm using oldoblivion .11t6, it wasn't happening on .11t2 but I would hate to switch back to that because the trees etc are much much nicer with the new one. Then actually look like trees not ugly green polys
Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks to all for this informative thread - it's REALLY helped me. Just as an FYI - today I bought a new ATI Radeon X1300 512MB graphics card so that my son could play this game, and one of the first things I did was to download the latest drivers from ATI.com. The game would NOT run - presented an error when we tried to start it. After noticing that my PC seemed sluggish in general, I uninstalled the "latest" drivers and reinstalled the drivers that came on the CD with the ATI card, and we've been playing all night with no further problems. Just thought I'd post this since "getting the latest drivers" is promoted heavily!
If you want to know:
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
1.5GB RAM
2x80GB HD in RAID-0
512MB ATI Radeon X1300

By way of an update: I also gave up and bought a RADEON X1300/512MB AGP8X from Diamond. Oblivion plays very nicely now and no hassle with old shaders and the like.
Regarding the drivers, I did have the latest Catalyst drivers on board when I installed the new video card. They immediately recognized the board and all was well.
There was some initial problem with screen flickers but that seems to have settled down following a few hours of burn in time.
Thanks to everyone who posted such useful tips on getting this game to work passably with my old 9200. I did learn a great deal. Many thanks in particular to the folks who put Oldblivion together. A job well done.
Cheers,
J.

Elder Scrolls-oblivion is a Buggy game. Even with very powerful computers it is possible to crash. heavy errors and closures of game are due to programs using same memory location.
Basic fixes for those possibly following this thread (if you can get game to work at all on your computer hehe) 1) Various locations and events in games Will not, or CAN NOT load under certain gfx settings If a certain place keeps crashing (in my case was the house/mansion on 1st quest) you must set the graphics settings to another main settings (like medium to very low)
Theives quest-final chapter only works maybe 50% of time (no one ever looks for you) a workaround to manually open that quest is (PC ONLY) is hit Tilde key type in the following line :
player.setstage tg11heist 10
DO NOT DO THAT UNLESS at that last stage and no one ever finds you after like 2 weeks in gameplay!!!!
Best way to minimize errors is keep gfx in lowest settings at all times (yeah i know gfx are better in higher settings)
My main problem is day or night the gameplay is very bright anyone know what settings in its ini file are to set it to have darkness?
(never need torches hehe but hard to use shadows to sneak when there aren't any)
If stages to not appear in game let me know I may be able to give you its activation code.. However simply activating stages without certain events happening (such as completing tasks required first) may cause crashes

To jonros24
im in the same boat as you except i installed the game and ran it and so on. I got it working but didnt get very far before it screwed up big time. It can work but unless you like playing the starting level over and over again don't bother until there is a new advancement or something that could make it work.

In regards of the EXE. If you have the game it should install that automatically. I think you are referring to a 'No-Cd crack' try looking for that usually easier to find.
