Patch. If you are not experiencing any problems while running Oblivion, it is
not recommended that you install this Beta Patch. If you do choose to install
it, we strongly recommend you backup your save games and understand it may be
necessary to re-install the game when the final patch is released. When
installing the Beta Patch, please allow the installation to complete naturally.
This installation may take up to twenty minutes in some cases.

Additionally, you may experience issues with this patch. Please report any
issues you experience with this patch at www.elderscrolls.com/forums under
Hardware and Software Issues -- specify you are running with the BETA patch. We
are working diligently to incorporate as many updates as possible into the final
version of the patch. The purpose of this patch is simply to get potential fixes
to the Oblivion fan base as soon as possible. The Beta patch includes fixes for
a number of issues posted on our forums as well as issues noticed through our
own internal game-play. An official patch will be released when we have
received enough feedback on the beta patch, incorporated any other fixes, and
are satisfied that it meets our quality standards.
