Oblivion General Technical Issues Thread, What’s buggin’ yas? Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

I didn’t see a thread for general issues with Oblivion that has been posted in in the last decade, so I decided to make a new one, because yesterday I ran into an issue that I think is pretty major.

I decided that I wanted to add the Wizard’s Tower DLC to Saryn’s game before she went up north to Bruma for her last recommendation. So I went to the Microsoft Store on the Xbox Series X and tried to purchase and download it. First of all, it’s weird that I needed to purchase it because I’m positive I had already done so many years ago before my Xbox360 died. Ok whatever, I thought it was probably just because it was so long ago and it was less than $2. It gave an error message saying something went wrong and to try again later. I stopped after that and forgot about it for a few days and tried again. Same error message. I looked it up to see if there were known issues with this, and sure enough, there were. I tried things people said worked for them but no dice. I tried about 20 times or so. This morning I looked at my bank account. It charged me each time I tried. I had to contact Microsoft support and now I have refunds pending, but still no Wizard Tower DLC. Frankly, I’m not sure if you can even get this DLC on Xbox anymore since they shut down the Xbox360 storefront like just last month. I don’t expect this to be resolved, but I thought I would make a post about my experience to serve as a warning for anyone else trying to get this DLC on Xbox Series X/S or XboxOne.

Correct, I hardly ever use the pencil icon method; only if I need to quickly find a script which I know has already been written will I go for that. Sorry for confusion.

Edit: that's beautiful work, Khajiit.


Edit 2: I'm still in the process of rebuilding Oblivion. Up to the Ds, doing the "Dwelling" folder now: Settlements of Cyrodiil, Abandoned Mountain Shack, Aleswell Cottage, and so on. I can remember back in 2014 when I first got my gaming computer, replacing my original (non-gaming) computer. Rushed home, drove @40 minutes from Micro Center, and then got the gaming computer plugged in and set up. And then I sat there, 8 hours straight, installing Oblivion! All in one sitting. Well, I would've had to get my controller working and so on. But still... 8 hours.

In comparison, I've lost count how many hours it's taking me this time. Probably up to 9 or 10 so far, and I'm not even in the Es yet. It'll be worth it in the end.
