does Oblivion run on windows 8.1?

[Guest]

i really want to buy Oblivion rightnow since its steamsales, i read the reviews on steam both positive and negative. The negatives said that its NOT compatible for windows 8. So would I a windows 8 user have problems with the Steam version? I read people recommend buying the physical because its stable and reliable

I can run it on Windows 10 so i think you should be able to.

 

Did you try to start up the Vanilla Oblivion(No mods just start it up from steam)?

 

I do have both physical and steam version and the only difference there is, is that in the physical version you have to manually download the patches in order to patch it up. While in the steam version you dont need to download the patches manually since it will patch it all up.

holding off for a day until I buy it so i plan out my purchases so i dont over do it

(i want to get fo3 also but theres a huge notification on it that reads its not optimized for windows 7 and up but I read that the fix to run it is tweaking the ini)

It runs fine on 8 and 8.1.  Don't know who the hell said it doesn't, but they are flat out wrong.  I've been running and modding oblivion on both 8 and then later 8.1 since they came out without any problems.

Probably the same people that go your mod broken my shit without actually knowing what really broke their game they just went after the last mod they installed. Many times problems are caused by operator error but it's easier to blame someone else for their problems.

Another one here reporting that Oblivion works both on Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. Enjoy!
