I'm scared to death of it. I didn't post on this issue, but my game of Oblivion was fucking ridden with crashes- to the point of being virtually unplayable, until I upped my processor speed (it was reduced because my fan isn't very good at keeping it cool, however it's a lot colder weather now over here and soon I'll get a new PC anyway). I have no idea why this "fix" worked, since the game ran fine for long stretches at a time, quite often. Just not lately. Until the fix. Yeah. Anyway.

I'm worried if I patch the goddamn thing, it'll go fucking nuts again.

I'm going to finish Oblivion (I'm doing Aid for Bruma), then install my Morrowind GOTY edition, finish that, then play Oblivion again.

I figure by the time I'm done with Morrowind, Tribunal and Bloodmoon (I never finished Tribunal or Bloodmoon, just Morrowind) Oblivion will be properly patches, and if it doesn't work on this POS, I'll have a new PC and will be able to run it on much higher detail than I have it on now- with fancy luxuries like ... grass.
