strange subtitle showing up with "?"

Post » Thu Dec 01, 2011 2:03 am

I just noticed in the past couple days that a subtitle with the character "?" randomly shows up while i'm traveling.. any idea what could be the cause of this, and how to get rid of it?

Thank You for any assistance you can provide!

EDIT: **FIXED** See br0sk1's post below if you are encountering this issue, for instructions on how to fix it. **FIXED**

I never heard of this issue before. If you run with mods I'm certain that one of them is causing the issue.

Yes I am running mods and I noticed it around the time I installed unique landscapes, though I dont see how that could cause this...

Hmm....

No real ideal on this one, but...

I take it you run an English version of Oblivion? Is it possible that you have somehow gotten hold of a mod that at some stage of development was written for another language? The author or translator overlooked something when converting it to English? I mention this because I know there have been "foreign language" versions of at least some Unique Landscapes. You might have mistakenly installed one of those?

From experience its most likely you installed a mod that is not in english. LOL very annoying I know...best bet is to uninstall the mod if you can and try to find the proper version if one exists.

I think I may know what your problem is because I had it before. I'm guessing you installed a mod that hides loading messages? That's what caused it for me anyway IIRC.
It was probably http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=1846. You can find a fixed version http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=4988 if it was in fact that mod.

This.

I knew it was something I had loaded recently but I would have never guessed it was the "No more annoying messages" mod. Thank you very much for linking the fixed version, that is super helpful. =)


EDIT: Dang.. that one is actually not the same as the version I'm using, I use "No more annoying messages lite" which only takes out the "now loading" messages but doesnt touch the rest..:

It would appear that one does not have a fix, though I messaged the guy who fixed the original version, likely he wont see it for a while it says he was last active almost a year ago..

Ah well. Thanks anyway =)

In other news I find it completely hilarious that it is the "No more annoying messages - Lite" mod that adds a very "light" annoying message that pops up constantly in the game.. oh the irony. lol
