Perhaps so, but in Mr Pratchett's case not so. He used the patch himself
"last year", which suggests 400 hours in 12 months (8 hours a week) even
after his first patch. This man is a hardcore user.

And meanwhile, here we are, wiggling our thumbs, patiently waiting for the

Worked perfectly for me.

Bug only appears after 400+ hours of gameplay; really only needed for the
saddest cases of Oblivion addiction.

It's certainly my current game of choice, bur I suspect the time
has got more to do with the machine being left on!

I've had to patch my game twice so far, and I have been through Knights of
the Nine and Shivering Islands since then. I've been wondering when I will
run into the slow fire / spell / door effect for the third time.

It doesn't take 400 hours of play time to have this problem show up. BTW - I
use the patch OBSAF.exe to fix the slow fire / spell /door problem on my
machine. Works good - I recommend it.

Is there any patches for the people using the Xbox 360 version? I
build up my character (a great one too) and now I had to create a new
one so I can still play Oblivion.
