Oblivion Patch Approaches
Cyrodiil's code to soon be reinforced.
by Charles Onyett
April 7, 2006 - In a post by Peter Hines, Vice President of Public Relations and Marketing at Bethesda, on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion's official site, plans for an upcoming patch were briefly outlined. According to the post, "We are working on a patch/update for both the PC and Xbox 360," says Mr. Hines. "It will address a number of issues that we have found and ones that have been reported to us and confirmed. It is our plan to first release it as a beta patch for the PC when it has cleared our initial testing cycles internally."
No specific issues to be addressed were mentioned. Some possible fixes could be applied to game crashes, infinite money bugs, and an arrow switching bug that vastly multiplies inventory items, among others.
The post also makes mention of the upcoming downloadable content, The Orrery and The Wizards Tower. Unlike the Horse Armor update earlier this week, The Orrery will add a new quest, rewards and powers for your character. Bethesda is hoping to release it next week for a cost of 150 Microsoft Points ($1.88) on the Xbox 360 Marketplace, and $1.89 for PC.
