For my second strange ironic occurance for the day: Mere hours after resurrecting this thread with my comment above, i find my game curiously afflicted by the same corrupted ground textures for which this thread was created. Multi coloured maps of cyrodiil instead of ground textures. This is too weird.
Anyway, i can see two possible causes for this. I recently installed the Satellite_Cyrodiil mod which replaces the colour BT_mod map with a true photo-like bird's eye view map (best oblivion map to date [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] ). But i've run Oblivion several times since with no apparent problems...
Second possible cause: The official patch which
failed to install half way through. That and one other mod (
droppable torches) were the very last things i did before i started the game and encountered the problem.
PurpleXVI - In the interests of isolating the cause, did you do anything similar before you had this problem?
