Oblivion Lag

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 6:18 pm

Hi, I play Oblivion on the Xbox 360 with pretty much every expansion/addon you can get from the DLC.

So every once in a while oblivion will start lagging. So I cleared the cache once, but it deleted all my DLC!!

This was horribal.

Anyway to perform maintenance without deleting any files?

Have you tried this method?

Oblivion uses the Xbox 360 hard drive extensively to cache (copy and reuse) game data. This is done to optimize all loading the game does. It has been found in rare cases on some Xbox 360s that the cached data can get overly fragmented. This exhibits itself by the game taking a long time to load anything from menus, dialogue, sounds, objects, levels, and more.

To solve this problem, reset your Xbox, and hold down the A button as the game is booting up. If any button is held while Oblivion is loading, it will clear its hard drive cache, and create a new one. Once you see the "Bethesda Softworks" logo video, the game is already loaded, and the cache should have been cleared.

Note, this does not effect your game in any way other than loading. You will not lose any saved data.



[edit]

BTW, welcome to the forums.

Let's get a mod to move this to the Hardware/Software forum for better service.
