Oblivion Disc Knackered

[CrimsonBlood2012]

downloaded some new content for oblivion, then noticed a small crack in the disc.

 

what a bummer

You could always try ripping an .iso from it and burning it to another disk.  Might not work, but it's worth a shot.

not when the disc doesn't get read

I had a really long thing to type here but it came dangerously close to pirate-talk. I think I'll just skip it

 

Steam is having a 50% off sale on Oblivion: GOTY edition, which includes both expansions, for 10 bucks USD. This is what I'd recommend, short of... the riskier alternatives. Cheap, efficient, and you'll never have to worry about a disc again.

 

Edit: Also, I'm confused as hell, the Oblivion EULA states that you cannot copy the software except for backups, and ALSO you cannot store the software on any other device and must run from the retail CD-ROM... ???

If you have your CD-key, then try to active it about steam. Maybe you have luck.

[Ark of Truth]

Just get the Steam version

[Captain Cobra]

Why get the steam version when you can get a non steam version?

If you enter your cd key into steam you can get the steam version for free.

Alternatively you can download a no-cd patch for oblivion so you don't need your disc anymore.

If I remember correctly,  Steam version of the Oblivion had problems with OBSE and other mods.

 

But yeah if you already owned a Oblivion its okay to download a copy from the web. Or just watch out for 75% off on the steam.

Really? I've never encountered any problems with OBSE and I have the Steam version.

Maybe the retail version has problems with OBSE,I have had no problems on the steam version either.

What, someone actually bothers with the EULA crap? I thought no one ever reads it and no one gives a single fuck.. And I really doubt a game dev will come sniffing around your place to check what do you do with your game disks...

[Jayce Dimmer]

Yay for PowerIso?

 

Edit: Here's a mini iso. These are legal in that they don't contain the bulk of the files, just those needed to pass the CD check. Ain't a modification of the .exe nor does it supply any files.

Pretty much all that can be said, has been said.  Buy a disc version or a steam one.
