Anyone? Is there a specific reason why NVSE requires Steam Community? If it's required due to some technical issue, I'll understand and work around it. But if it's at all possible to get a version that doesn't utilize SC, then I would appreciate it very much. The Steam community needs to be enabled because it contains the code that loads NVSE. Due to the copy protection on the runtime executable, we can't use DLL injection like we did with Oblivion and Fallout 3. Some regions seem to have runtime exes that run directly, in which case just use nvse_loader like you did with previous games. Not the answer I was hoping for, but understandable. I'll just deal with turning Steam Community on and off when I play New Vegas. I appreciate the response.
