    I hope this discussion is allowed. I do own the game legally, but I don't have the disk with me. I downloaded the no disk crack for oblivion, and put in the program files -> Bethesda -> Oblivion directory. It launched, but once it gets to the main title screen, it tells me that the master file (Oblivion.esm) cannot be found. Anyone know why this is happening and how to get around it?

    I don't know about here specifically but it generally not allowed anywhere to talk about no cd cracks because they are illegal.

    It sucks and i hate cd checks too but thats the way it has to be.

    No-cd cracks aren't illegal. A violation of the EULA perhaps, but not a crime.

    That said, make sure the no-cd crack you use matches the exact version of Oblivion you have (taking expansions + patches/versions into account.)

    Unfortunately this matter cannot be discussed as there are no way of proving your ownership. Thread closed.
