Not real and its lying to the masses...can we ban people for having it earlier than others

Or even, they have to post us their copy etc...

lol, well turns out a 9200se aint the best card for it, the screens all white, i can pick out a few objects but it looks a bit like a negative, ive tried editing the ini and altering other parts of the graphics. it has a tendency to crash to desktop too. i need to somehow set the texture size to medium, when i do it ingame it CTD's without applying the change. anyone know much about the ini?

Hang on your having problems with a 9200se card :/

Took sodding ages to download from D2D, had to leave it overnight (on a 3MB connection )

The zip file is sitting on my PC at home and I'm in work. Brought the manual file in on a memory key to read, but I can't cos it tries to access the internet to confirm DRM, which our firewall stops.

Not impressed with these Direct2Drive folks at all

You need to open the correct port in your firewall. Port 28900 if I remember correctly. This is probably also why your download was so slow. Direct2Drive was perfect for me, got the game three days early because of it.

If anyone has specs of around an XP3000+, X800 Pro, 1Gb ram, let me know what it plays like please (an educated guess will do). I wouldn't mind getting it on the PC as well if it runs well, I can play two different types of charaters then depending on whether I'm in the moon to lay on the bed or sit at the pc

I just got my collectors edition but it looks like someone stepped on it :/ Cardboard box is kinda squashed.

Those with nVidia cards, there is a small tweak which is giving some people an extra 10-15fps. It is explained here:

Worked fantastically for me.

MiGSY · 23 Mar 2006 at 10:32

Oh my...

I just peered out the window to notice a postman put something in the letterbox at the end of my drive. Please be Oblivion! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Sleepery · 23 Mar 2006 at 10:33

And you waited to post something here first instead of tearing down your drive like a lunatic ??
