Striker879 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Your willingness to both keep grinding on the problem and report back his greatly appreciated GravityWave. :thumbsup: That Steam.exe needs to run as administrator is both news to me and welcome news. Now I'll have something to offer when other Win 8.1 victims ... err I mean users hit the same wall. I've said it before and I'll say it again ... I won't ever use Microsoft's "phone/tablet" operating system. When/if my non-gaming laptop dies one of the criteria it's replacement must meet is it will run Windows 7. If the answer is no I'll just keep looking. Fortunately I'm not a laptop gamer, so any desktop I build will be Win 7 safe (already have a copy of Win 7 waiting for the next build). As far as I know that OBSE Tester will work and report the OBSE version number even on Steam machines. When it can't find a working OBSE install it gives that outdated warning/report. That utility was last updated long before Steam got their claws ... err acquired the rights to Oblivion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essoncletus Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 How did you do this exactly? I don't completely understand. As well is it in reference to this specific thread?http://steamcommunity.com/app/22330/discussions/0/620700960804864143/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essoncletus Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm having this same issue with GOTY Oblivion from Steam.I came across this posting, does anyone know what they mean by reinstalling it to the Steam folder? How do I do this, in a step by step, please?http://steamcommunity.com/app/22330/discussions/0/620700960804864143/I sent an add message to them but I'm afraid they may not contact me back.

Nikola1991 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 UPDATE: So, i think I've narrowed down my problem. Even though I have steam community enabled in-game, the little dialog box saying 'press shift + tab for steam community' or something like that isn't showing up when I stat the game. Also, I sent a support ticket to Bethesda regarding the steam community issue, but of course they won't reply. @venusian what operating system do you have? I have Windows 8.1, and i'm thinking that may have something to do with the problem- upgrading from windows 8 caused all sorts of compatibility problems for me. Unfortunately, I can't rollback my OS anymore :sad: UPDATE 2: I finally got it to work! Someone on the topic I opened in the steam community forums had the answer. Apparently, all I needed was this older steam loader: steam://openurl/http://media.steampowered.com/content/obse_loader.zip downloaded it and put it in my oblivion folder and then ran it and it worked!Thank you i had the same issue :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RanDomino Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I got it! 1) Close Steam2) Install OBSE 213) Install the obse_loader.exe from that file4) Run Steam.exe as an administrator and run Oblivion through Steam If this doesn't work, try inserting a bunch of reboots and deletions of oblivion.ini, and/or running various things in administrator mode.

UltraX99 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 I got it! 1) Close Steam2) Install OBSE 213) Install the obse_loader.exe from that file4) Run Steam.exe as an administrator and run Oblivion through Steam If this doesn't work, try inserting a bunch of reboots and deletions of oblivion.ini, and/or running various things in administrator mode. This was the only solution that actually worked for the current date on the Oblivion Steam Version. Thank you, RanDomino! :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoNeedsSanityAnyways Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Ah, thank you so much for this! I'd done everything in this forum, aside from launching Oblivion directly from Steam. I gave that a shot and as soon as I loaded my last save, S.P.A.M. activated before OBSE Tester popped up! You're awesome, all of you! Edit: Just to clarify, OBSE Tester confirmed that OBSE was infact working. Edited March 7, 2018 by WhoNeedsSanityAnyways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
