Thanks, I'll definitely try that and see if it works. I also tried running the Oblivion.exe that bypasses the launcher a while ago, when I do that it then says Oblivion.exe is not working. It appears that it is a crash but when I try the launcher, nothing happens at all. No error message, nothing. There is also now a DRM free version of Oblivion on GOG.com that was recently released so if the Steam version doesn't work I'll eventualy get round to buying that.

Yeah the game works perfectly without the d3d9.dll. I've disabled the Game Bar and DVR settings but it still refuses to launch out of sheer stubbornness.

Thanks for the reply, I've disabled the overlay completely and I don't have either of the mods you mentioned installed at the moment. Alas, the problem persists.

For the past few days I've been trying to use an ENB with Oblivion (the Steam version) and I'm having no luck. I have OBSE installed correctly and it works, I've uninstalled all of my mods and clean installed Oblivion (deleting the .ini file and my saves). When I put d3d9.dll into my Oblivion folder from v181 and launch Oblivion from Steam nothing happens, it doesn't work. It says it's running and my mouse cursor says something is loading but then Steam stops saying Oblivion is running and nothing happens. The Oblivion launcher doesn't even show up. When I install ENB v75a it launches, but the info at the top left that should show up on the main menu doesn't show. I think the problems may be down to the fact that the Steam version of OBSE needs the Steam Overlay turned on to work properly, but ENBs work best with it off, but I'm unsure. For the love of god I need help, and I would sure appreciate it if I get some. My specs for the people that will inevitably ask: Intel Core i5 6500 3.2 GHz AMD Radeon RX 480 8GB 8 GB DDR4 RAM Windows 10 - unfortunately Thanks
