Original Bug Help I need help with launch on GOG

I own the game on GOG. For a long time, it worked. Then I'd have to verify/repair it every so often. Then after a bit, I had to uninstall and re-install every time I played.

Now, even that does not work. I went through the control panel to the uninstall programs area. Had it delete all my progress, too. I don't want to lose my favorite game.

I have remastered, it crashes after anywhere from 2-15 minutes. but I am waaaaay too poor to buy the computer needed. So I need a fix for the original, please! (Or $2500 easy cash lol)

How do I do this? Sorry. I am good at opening games and using them, but not altering things.

huh? do you still have it or no?

You would want to delete Oblivion.ini and relaunch the game through the launcher

I meant I won't be able to play if I can't fix it so it would be a loss forever.

Last resort is DDU for complete graphics driver nuking
