Oblivion 1.1 patch released

[Igiss]

On June 6 final version of the first Oblivion patch was released; beta version of the same patch was available since May 2. Right now beta patch is no longer available for download, and its installation is not necessary for the full version.

The new patch updates Oblivion to version 1.1.511. Two versions of this patch are available: one for US version of the game, and one for UK/European/Australian version. Both of them are not compatible with versions purchased from Direct2Drive, localized versions of TES IV, and (fortunately) illegal copies of the game with copy protection removed. You can download both versions of the file from Elderscrolls.com download page (1,6 Mb).

The patch corrects a number of bugs and quest errors that were reported during the recent weeks. Among most important changes - improved performance for NVidia SLI and ATI Crossfire, Very Low Detail setting for low-end GeForce FX video cards, and important plugin-related fixes. Read complete patch changelog here, it's rather impressive for 1,6 Mb package.

Same patch is available from Xbox Live! for Xbox 360 users since June 7.

"Fixed an issue with duplicating items and unequiping the bow."

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Where am I supposed to get craps loads of potions now. 

You mean actually doing it the right way. ef that.

I guess no one forces you to install the new patch, right? You may play as before and ignore most bugs if you wish, using some of them to gain additional items. Though I don't really think that cheating has any use if you can always mod the game and add any number of any items to game world. Want to unbalance Oblivion - nothing easier! It's not a cheater-protected MMORPG.

What makes me wonder is Direct2Drive versions, how can these be patched? I've got a normal one, but anyway... I know that many preferred Direct2Drive.

I have a 360, and when there's a game download it basically goes

THERE IS A DOWNLOAD AVAILABLE WOULD YOU LIKE TO DOWNLOAD IT?!?!?
do it or die

Hey, is the patch for the Xbox 360 as well? I hope it is.

[Igiss]

Same patch is available from Xbox Live! for Xbox 360 users since June 7.

Did you read what I posted?

I don't own Xbox 360 and never intended to buy it, but patch is for both PC and console. And, according to Bethesda, available since June 7. Is it trustworthy or not, I cannot make sure.

[Zeus]

Perhaps you should find and scoop up some info on this matter. I'm dying to know. But then again there will be no more infinite money glitches.     NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Igiss]

Obviously, it was released on June 7 as it should've been, at least I didn't find any evidence that might prove it wrong.

Though Xbox 360 version of the patch did have certain issues... read this, for example:

It seems the recently released Oblivion patch has raised a few issues on the Xbox 360. According to 1up while the patch has improved frame rates and reduced stuttering there are new concerns from users regarding long load times and random lock-ups. Users are also reporting bugs still being present from before the patch.

What's with the need for infinate money anyway???  I'm stinking rich already from just sacking ruins and selling everything... I have to fast travel several times to carry it all to a merchant.  I have more money than I know what to do with and I've never cheated.  It's much more rewarding to role play and feel like you got your cash legit.

Why doesn't it suprise me that the Xbox version has added problems with the patch? lol

Couldn't agree more.
