When im travelling around, Ayleid ruins and other objects like trees only appear when i get close and when im beside mountains or hills i cant see them in detail only when im standing on them or when im at foot of them will i be able to see them in detail.

A little update on the slow/freeze effects after long hours of gameplay I mentioned earlier.
I found out this is a sure thing to happen eventually, a bug long exist that Bethesda couldn't or wouldn't do anything about it. But some players managed to come up with a temp fix for the PC version, not permanent but I suppose you could deal with the bug whenever it occurs again. Non for PS3 though. Poor us.
Hopefully not, but if someone from here playing the PC version got this bug, go to the Bethesda forum under Hardware and Software Issue to look for the fix.
Luck helps us.

Hi there. A strange problem is cropping up in Oblivion. I've been playing the game a long time (long enough to have completed all the quests) but just lately a series of odd looking light blobs is forming aroung my character. It looks a little like the effect of some of the spells, only frozen in place. The character doesn't seem to have any curse or sickness. Also I've noticed that fires in the game seem now to be frozen in place, and that a more than usual number of my attempted saves are not working properly (ie will not reload) Any ideas?

I completed the whole mages guild and im in arcane U. but when i went to the island to get the staff necromancers attacked me i killed them and i found my contacts dead. i brought the staff back to rominus but he keeps saying that i should go get it. i have no clue what to do im stuck help me out please

I purchased the Shivering Isles expansion a while back, and started the main quest. I decided to go back to Cyradiil and do other stuff before really getting into Shivering Isles. 100 hours later I went back to Shivering Isles to continue what I already started. I had to go to Xedilian and activate the Resonator of Judgment with the Attenuator of Judgment. The only problem is apparently I don't have the Attenuator of Judgment anymore! Is it possible that quest items from Shivering Isles disappear when you go back to Cyradiil??? Also, this doesn't really matter, but I don't have that book that you get from Sheogorath either...

Not sure what to do other than start over. I'd rather not do that. Please Help!!! Any ideas?!

It's not there at all. I actually got in contact with Bethesda and they think that my save file got corrupted. It seems that I'm not the only one this has happened to. I guess I could start over ... someday ...

I need a bit of help
I have gone to the shivering isles and completed the first part, now I have been asked to call Jeffery? by the king person (sorry cant remember his name) I cant seem to be able to do this. And now everyone in Mania has a pink rim around them-is this a fault with my game or is it part of the action??
Thanks

Yeah sorry, realised last nite that I had just made that name up! I have completed the quest before and sheogorath has asked me to try calling him now, I cannot find the spell in my inventory? Is everyone supposed to be glowing pink?

Hi, ive been playing this game for a few hours and am currently inside a painting fighting these painted trolls and suddenly i cant do magic anymore. No healing spells nothing. Has anyone else had this problem? My blue bar of magic is full so whats going on?

no, it is not part of the mission, u should be able to use all the magic you want. Make sure if u equip a spell you have the right level mastery and magiika ammount for the spell. Sometimes higher level spells cost a lot of magika if you arent mastered in their school.
Otherwise, i found that this quest was one of the harder ones. The trolls are levled up really high compared to you and regenerate health quickly. If your a mage with low vit it could be very difficult at low levels. I recomond using the potions if u need to, and if u need more you can alwasys duplicate them with the duplication glitch just to get the heck out of the painting.

I am having this problem now. i have done everything but the killing/going bad. My magic swirls and bubbles linger all around and I can't see (to get to the dark elf in the prision for instance.) if I go to a church and get blessings the blue swirls stay at the things like blobs.
When i throw fire a red blob stays in the air. On a rock I can make it look like a xmas tree !!
I thought it might be a curse caused by me not giving up the Umbra to the god I made a deal with.
It's freezing at "loading area" now.
I also thought it may be one of the processors going bad. I haven't noticed any problems with other games but I play Oblivion allot.
I didn't look but this may be an OLD THREAD ........

I see it's been awhile since the last post, but I only recently bought this game. I have a problem with using magic after I save. I will be able to use magic before I save, but after I quit playing for a few hours/night and come back the next day and load where I left off, I will not be able to use my magic. I have full health, magic, and fatigue bars and have the right spells and levels. I have tried sleeping, waiting, being healed in chapels, drinking potions, and nothing works. My magic does come back, but it is totally random. I constatly have to check (press R2) to find out when it returns. This has slowed my gameplay down since I have to wait for it to work so I can fight/do certain missions/heal. If I save during gameplay then it will cotinue to work as long as I continue playing for that session, but seems to mess up only when I try to load the saved game during my next playing session. Has anyone else experienced this? Can this be fixed or am I stuck playing the waiting game?

i have beaten mehrunes dagon and orcato told me to come acollect my siute of chaampions armor from the imperial gaurds compound but i cant seem to find the place no matter how hard i try can you help me

If you haven't figured it out yet, you have to wait two weeks before you can pick up your armor. I was prompted by a quest update after two weeks went by. You should then be able to see a marker on your map and maybe fast travel to it. The armory is in the Imperial City Prison area.


On another note, I think I have a solution (not a fix) for people that are unable to use their Magic sporatically throughout the game. Once I find out my Magic is not working (this is normally when I start a game session and load the game. I will find my Magic does not work due to game error, not playing in the game), I plug my controller into the USB cord that is plugged into my PS3 and just set the controller down for five minutes or so. My controller, I believe, is set to five minutes for the energy saver mode (not sure). I then unplug my controller, I normally have to press the PS button to turn the controller back on, I test my Magic and it works. I have not sat down and recorded the amount of time it actually takes, but it is usually only about 5 minutes or long enough for your controller to shut down. This has not failed me yet, so hopefully this helps some of you out.
This beats running around for a few hours without Magic waiting for it to return.
