so i just got a game save from a friend and copied it to my save data utility and its in there but when i start oblivion a go to load there it says there is not data to load

Did you copy to
my documents
my games
Oblivion
my saves (you need to paste it here)

Is this for PS3?

If so is the same game (Original or GOTY) being used? Just a guess here but I think you may need to use the same game type in order for it to run. Bu this I mean if your save was from Original Oblivion then you may need to run Original Oblivion as well.

I hope this helps, good luck.....

I'm going to go with the first two replies. (1) make sure that it's copied into the right location and (2) that you're dealing with the same version of the game (1.2.406 is the current version, but that might not necessarily have been the version that produced the save). I'd also add that differences between DLCs and mods will usually generate an error message after the load, but will typically not prevent an incompatible saved game from loading. You just get a warning that some items or other changes will be lost if you continue.
