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
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.

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

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 Besides the one I did for 1.2.214 is outdated.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.

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!

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...

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

Which post are you referring to?
