The all waited for graphical patch for oblivion has been released today.  This includes...

1) New shader engine:

- Distant enviroment texture resolution have been increased: no more "pee soup" washout look.
- Close up environment textures have geen overhauled.

2) Increased LOD:

- Draw distance has been pushed back

3) Runs smoother:

- Less hitching when traveling in the outside.  i.e. better framerate

Well after I found out that the patch made my game slightly less laggy and better windows in the houses, I then realized I had lost all fun in the game since now I cant fill a barrel with gems or anything fun anymore... no health potions... no varla stones.... no fun.... again no fun.... once again... no fun...


is there any way to edit this game to make duplication re-appear?

I have never used the duping. I think it is lame and wish it were never there. It was a bug whether people liked it or not and I would not just let a bug stay in my code (I write software for a living.) Having said that, I am also going to provide the answer you are looking for:

If this just came out, why does the date on the article read June 7, 2006?

Sorry, but I think this is OLD news.  Like almost a year old.
