Shiver me timbers! Oblivion expansion has critical bug

Apparently a new bug has been popping in Shivering Isles and for the time being there is no way around it. Joystiq reports the problem has been determined to derive from six scripts which control the patrolling patterns of certain guards. The scripts, which run even if you are not in the area, exhausts the internal allotment of identification numbers which are assigned to every object in the game (e.g. dropped arrows, weaponry). Once all the space is full, newly created objects disappear from the game world.

The bug will occur if you have Shivering Isles installed, whether or not you even access the content. It will rear its ugly head 50 to 120 hours within gameplay, depending upon your framerate (we're not sure if this is hours of play after installation of expansion or total play time). The Xbox 360 version, running at 30 frames per second, is expected to hit the bug at 150 hours.

...I don't think there's much chance I'll spend over 75 hours on an expansion, so I'm not worried. :o

D3acon6216d ago

damn I guess it was a good idea not to add the expansion to the ps3 version.

Hopefully they can patch this quickly.

I'm sure they'll have that patched up in no time. This kinda thing happens.

Bethesda makes the most consistently stupid NPCs, like really bad... yet I still can't help but love playing their games. Guilty pleasure, I guess. *sigh* 😩
