You cannot go that way. Turn back

[Marc Timothy Moses]

I'm getting this message repeatedly. I tried validating my files and i try again and still get the same message. maybe i installed the wrong mods

[Chaos Epoch]

Um. That's normal for when you hit the edge of the map... maybe turn back, because you can not go that way? Idk. Message is hard to understand.

[Marc Timothy Moses]

it was when i tried to go to any place it said that. So i decided to remove some mods and the game sprung back to life.

What mods were you using?

[Marc Timothy Moses]

i was using elsweyr plus valenwood plus black marsh and now the main files are now either underwater or fall through or both. So i tried reinstalling only to not be able to play the game again

[Fienyx]

With those mods, you need tes4lodgen and to set borders to off in the oblivion.ini. Having a decent mod organizer is a good thing too. I personally use Wrye Bash. If you download a mod that gives you an omod file, you need Obmm for that. These can all be found on the nexus.

Edit: Did some checking in the modding community. For Oblivion, the recommended Wrey Bash version to use is 295.

[Marc Timothy Moses]

i will try wrye bash

Did you find the solution for this problem?

You have to edit your Oblivion.ini file and set bBorderRegionsEnabled to zero:

Like this:

[General]
.....
.... other values
.....
bBorderRegionsEnabled=0
....


But you have to edit the INI file that's on you user profile (<user>\Documents\My Games\Oblivion), not the one in the Oblivion exe directory.

I have already done it, but I still face the problem.

Ah sorry, don't know what could possibly cause the issue then. I mean, the game reads that setting from the INI file and uses it, for sure.

It probably has to be something related to W10/11 and the protected document folders that maybe it's forcing the game to load the default ini file instead of the the one you have in your profile... couldn't say for sure, I don't have experience with W10 issues myself.

If you're technically oriented and want to dig deeper, you could try running the Process Monitor tool[learn.microsoft.com] and try to find which file the game is reading, and try to find out why is not reading the one you edited. That is what I'd do personally, to try to find out.

I downloaded the program, but I don't know how to use tit.

Basically, you run it and when it launches it starts capturing events generated by processes running on your system. You can filter which executable to monitor using the filter menu, and chose there to only monitor a process named "Oblivion.exe".

Then run the game and after the game starts many many many events would have been captured related to Oblivion.exe accesses and operations. Then you can search in the event list (using Control + F) for "Oblivion.ini" and it should appear several times... and each access should say from which path that file was read.

Pay attention to the Result column... i.e. where the program says if there was an error attempting the operation, or it was success... there you can find out if Oblivion is trying to access the ini and perhaps the OS is giving it Access Denied, or something like that.

If that's the case, then you know that there should be some security settings you need to fiddle in your profile directories... or run the game as admin (if you aren't doing that already, I mean.)

If you find an instance of an event that mentions reading the Oblivion.ini file and succeeded then you know that you need to edit that one particular file, wherever is found (it should show you the full path.)

You should start from the bottom up in the list of events (remember to stop capture as soon as the game ran and shown the main menu. The stop/start capture button looks like a spyglass in the toolbar.)

As I said, I don't have experience with W10 myself, so perhaps someone else that has could be more specific about what settings to change security-wise or how to edit those to allow Oblivion to have access fully.

I am searching for Oblivion, but the only thing that this program finds is svhost.exe
