I'm kinda hoping Paddy has nothing better to do than give the SLI optimizations a quick test. how much faster have they made it?

No noticeable change here with SLI 7900GTX.

:(

I'm not installing... I want to keep my item duplication glitch :D
I've actually never run into any of the "issues" this patch fixes so I can't say it would do me any good unless it actually made the game smoother with SLI... But I don't have SLI right yet, so...

Well, at least it got my blade skill to raise naturally again... don't ask me how it stopped in the first place, but having to raise it in the console and trying to do so appropriately with the amount of battles I fought was kind of a pain. On the down side, I still crash on exit... oh well it is just beta.

And a pretty intensive changelog

You're joking, right? That's a very meagre patch if you ask me, considering how long it's been since release. And this patch isn't even done yet...

Also, it doesn't seem to make any stability or general performance improvements. Oblivion's f***ing buggy if you ask me. A good game, but in need of serious technical polishing.

I agree - it's not a great deal in the way of updates... but I've not experienced any of the things it 'fixes'... :shock: but that's pretty common, actually... ;)

- Fixed issue with crashes on exit.

I had that problem everytime I exited Oblivion.
I´m done with Oblivion, would be glad if it came out when I played it.

The only problem ive experienced on that list is the crashing on exit, ive seen none of the others, although the unlimited gold bug sounds handy!

I did have one bug where i stole an "unknown item" from someone who was sleeping, i dropped the item, and it turned into a giant box with an "!" in the middle of it, looks like the dev's missed something there!

Crashing how on exit? Crash to Desktop, or is it bluescreening Windows?

Hm... it's weird that I'm running the game on a technically unsupported OS and I'm having no problems (Windows 2000 isn't listed as supported...)
