Hello. I have been playing Oblivion on my PC, after my oblivion disc stopped working properly on the Xbox 360. The disc is in perfect condidion (could easably be sold as new with nobody noticing). But I tried playing it the other day, and it took 27 minutes to load the small area of the outer imperial palace (White Gold Tower). I have no idea why it would be doing this. I have no idea where the receipt is, bacause I got the game 3 days after it came out. I have cleaned the disk several times, and it didn't make a difference. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Torsten.

Go to gamestop and buy their special disk cleaning stuff. It works like a charm.

I've heard you can fix this problem by holding down A while Oblivion first loads (it clears the game's cache).

Yep, and it is mod galore, but I want the basic achievments.

Holding A definately did something, I don't know if I was spoiled by PC loading time, but it is now taking like 1 - 2 minutes to load the city areas. Is that normal?

Sometimes...If your 360 is getting hot, if you can try moving it to the open, clearing the cache again and try that, but it shouldant take 1-2 mins, and if you bought if from EB or Gamestop they have your recept on computer so maybe you can exchange.

The PC version has similar problems on lower spec PC's, like clearing the cache etc, there's a console command to do that.

If that is true, how would they have missed that in development?

They probably didn't. Every game on shelves ships with many known unfixed bugs. It's the way of the road
