this might be a bit late, but since it might help some people get headed in the right direction i thought i should post. i have been working on trying to get OBGEv3 working for the past few hours and looking around it seems like quite a few people have the same problem as me... and the solution might be very simple. at least so far, i have not gotten into testing it much just yet. i followed the instructions in the readme to install OBGEv3 and also the Standalone_Effects with Wrye Bash. i knew OBSE was working because i have FastExit2.dll installed and working. here are the problems i was having.... 1# the OBGE support item was in my inventory, after use it would say close inventory and wait for the menu (nothing happens, also a little circle appears in the top-left corner of the screen for a few seconds then vanishes) 2# loading a saved game would bring up the OBGE menu, but it would vanish and not do anything when i clicked. 3# OBGE.ini was not being created in ( Documents\My Games\Oblivion ) and now onto the fix (i think).... 1# open ( OBGE_Core-30054-3-0-1.7z ) and extract the ( OBSE ) folder 2# copy the ( OBSE ) folder into your ( Oblivion\Data ) folder after doing that, i ran the game and tried out the OBGE support item, and it worked!.. i then closed it, and tried it again, still working!! can browse through all the options and stuff. and the OBGE.ini was also created in the ( Documents\My Games\Oblivion ) folder. still gotta test it out to make sure its all working as it should, not started playing a game yet.. just running around in the jail/dungeon area at the start. well if this all works i hope i helped someone save some time and stress over something so stupidly simple.
