Any one Oblivion?

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

1600 by 1200? Argh, my poor, useless eyes!

Yeah, anyway, it's a good game, I agree.

Final, seeing as you're using it as a coaster why not sell it on eBay anyway, it's not like you're losing anything. Just refuse to have anything to do with PayPal and you'll be fine.

I cant stand anything less than a constant 60 fps Wolfy. You are proably used to playing games at 20 from your old computer

If some one payed the postage, they could have the game for free.

I played a game once on my old rig, which I knew it was no way going to handle (I couldn't cough up the necessary G for an upgrade at that time), but I just had to play the game. I ended up with the worst framerate ever! Sometimes it took a couple of minutes (I kid you not!) when I scrolled over the map (it was a RTS game) just a little bit to go from one place to the next...

Then start the bidding at £0. It'll be an interesting experiment, don't you think?

A clarification, if some one supplies a self adressed return package for DVD, blooklet and map, all will be mailed to them for free.

Final lots of people sell games over ebay. Just try it

I don't trust e-bay. May toss the game tommorow. Can't even find anyone to GIVE it to.

I could take it off your hands if you want. I actually have a friend who wants the game. Email me

Well, I'm fairly sure that my rig is very close to the minimum of what Oblivion will run on. Running with mostly minimum settings (especially draw distance), I can get respectable framerates in most areas. A large number of NPCs in a small space with a lot going on (i.e. the Oblivion dungeons)...forget it. I've learned to pull out my cache of invisibility potions when faced with such fights.

I'm running the game on an Inspiron 9200 notebook. It will run Half-Life 2 at max settings, that much I know. I had to do some tweaking for Oblivion- the auto-configuration thinghy that comes up the first time you start the game actually configured it for max settings...and I didn't notice the performance hit until after I exited the initial dungeon. It's a BEAUTIFUL game- this compy just can't handle everything in it. With settings reduced, I can play and enjoy it without more than an occasional tough spot.

My compy's stats: 2GHz Intel Centrino, 1GB RAM, 128MB Radeon 9700 Mobility GPU. If you have less than that, I wouldn't recommend trying to run Oblivion. If you have that or better, or are willing/able to upgrade, go for it. It rocks.

I'll take it Finalday, if yer like

Dunno how to pay postage n packaging though - but I am sure I can sort something out

Athlon 64 3500 (2.2 GHz), 1 GB RAM, Geforce 7800GT, runs smooth.

Anyways, back to playing oblivion.
