Oblivion US English - Patch 1.2 NOCD

[refraction]

Created by myself, impatient to wait for a proper NOCD

Instructions:
1. Install Oblivion_v1.2English.exe from the official site (http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/updates_patches.htm)
2. Backup the existing Oblivion.exe
3. Extract this one in its place
4. Play

Enjoy :)

I just downloaded and tested your fixed exe and noticed that the first time I run the game there appears a message box that says I have to insert the CD/DVD in order to play. So I decided to make a *proper* NoDVD crack on my own.

Changes:

0000D5F7: E8 > E9
0000D5F8: 54 > 67
0000D5F9: 67 > 01
0000D5FA: FF > 00
0000D5FB: FF > 00

This little generic jump instruction bypasses the whole DVD check procedure and continues to run the game as if the disc was present.

Instructions:

Just install the game, update with official patch to v1.2.0214, make a backup of your oblivion.exe and replace it with my fixed one.

cool nice one, yeh it was a simple "get it working" patch, i later got it reported the same as you said, obviously i just jumped from the wrong bit when looking through IDA :)

[wolfsrain]

Funny thing is that the unnofficial patches from baldurdash.org and Quarn unnoficial patch for official plugins are solving way more problems than this, including the ones in the new 1.2.
I consider this new patch more a preparation for Shivering Isles and not a real patch.

This is the crack from Unleashed for Oblivion v.1.2

yeh im in the process of getting Quarn's texture pack, waiting for a 1.2 compatable unofficial patch, but the distant textures are certainly a damn site better, then if you stick the CaptN Kill's 4096 LOD Texture pack on, it looks absolutely amazing!

easier....

file offset : 0x3d50
patch : 33 C0 40 A3 94 33 B3 00 C3

considerably easier...

dword @ 0xB33304 contains a flag for the cd check - this should be 1

your code bypasses it... it could be checked later (as could the cd check proc @ 0x3d50 - which is why i patched it)
also, you broke the main rule -> patch the proc, NOT the conditionals

if you're going to do something, do it properly

This crack doesn't work! The message "Insert Oblivion disc" still gets displayed. Looks like they just reverted the jump @ 00011ED0 (74h > 75h), which actually doesn't have the needed effect...

Which post are you referring to? :confused:

Which post are you referring to? :confused:


i think hes referring to both of ours, but oh well, proper or not, if it does the job im happy.

[╚Elite♣Bushido╝]

umm i never backed up my original... could someone pls host or send me their back up pls! i cant install the game without it =/

thx

[TippeX]

Which post are you referring to? :confused:

erm. yours, i thought that part was obvious

[Joe Forster/STA]

Elite Bushido: Are you requesting a backup copy of an original DVD?!

[╚Elite♣Bushido╝]

lol. no, no, no. just a copy of the original .exe file

[Dopefish]

erm. yours, i thought that part was obvious

I don't give a damn about the scene rules or whatever you're talking about. I'm an independent cracker and just corrected the fixed exe by refraction, because it didn't work as it should be. Mine is working fine and the result is the only thing that matters. Oh, and GCW put up the "crack" by Unleashed, although it's obviously NOT working...

lol. no, no, no. just a copy of the original .exe file

I think he's using an illegal copy of the game, because why would he have to ask for the original exe file when he owns it?

[TippeX]

reinstall then, and you'll have it....

because the original exe isnt just on the dvd like most games, its within the cab files, which i cant even browse :/ so the only way to get it is get one off someone else or reinstall the game

[Joe Forster/STA]

@Elite Bushido: Still, your request is against forum rule #3. Yes, you'll need to re-install the game...

[wolfsrain]

Dopefish, let's keep it civil. I've just posted an alternative crack. I appreciate the fact that everyone is trying to offer a good, working crack. I never said that I've had the time to test the crack from Unleashed. I will do that next week when Shivering Isles will be in my hands. Until than, I won't install Oblivion.

[R41N]

Umm, does any of these fixes work with the latest (1.2.0416) Oblivion version? I don't have shivering isles yet :'(

[refraction]

nope mines made for build 1.2.0214.

i suppose i could upgrade and mock up a new exe properly like mentioned before if people need it

Edit: here you go, as instructed by TippeX (big thanks)

This is for Oblivion build 1.2.0416 English - NOT Shivering Isles tho it may work on both, i noticed when i upgraded to SI it didnt update my 1.2.0214 exe

Instructions
1. Install Oblvion
2. Install the new patch (do not put 1.2 on first, tho it might work, didnt for me)
3. Backup the original EXE for future updates
4. Copy over the NOCD

It works! Thanks a lot :D ;)

[xShadow]

Could someone re-upload that file posted by refraction? I'd greatly appreciate it.

[refraction]

[BarryB]

The link is still working but you could try the one from here:

Your file is no longer available on sendspace and I really need it. So if you would be so kind to upload it once more and post the link here, you'd make me very happy :)

[chron]

download it from gcw

Get it from GCW. Besides the one I did for 1.2.214 is outdated. Get the one for 1.2.416 instead if you have the latest official patch installed.
