ptbptb Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I think the best advice you're likely to get here is to buy another copy (and make sure you don't lose the disks!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaosals42 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Or you could buy Oblivion on Steam so you don't have to worry about possibly losing another CD. I think it's about 35 US dollars for the full game and all the expansions including SI on Steam. And yes, there is a mod manager for Oblivion which you can find here: http://tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=2097 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptbptb Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Or you could buy Oblivion on Steam Does the Steam download work with the current standard OBSE? I understand that initially you had to replace the OBSE loader or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaosals42 Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 http://obse.silverlock.org/ Looking at their main site, it seems they provide support for the Steam version on their latest OBSE build. But looking on the same page however, don't get the D2D version of Oblivion if you want to use OBSE as it's an encrypted version and breaking that encryption to get something like OBSE to work is illegal.

theuseless Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I have been using oblivion with OBSE for a while but I have the original disks. I know that if you want to run OBSE you have to run the kicker program to launch oblivion. If you download Wrye Bash, it should detect and run the kicker program if present. I believe that the steam version of the kicker is available as well. If it's not listed then they must have integrated it into the regular version. Basically, if you run oblivion from the OBSE kicker, it should work. If it doesn't work, I believe the steam version is the best out there as they fix bugs and issues that the bethesda company didn't or couldn't forsee. I know that the steam version of fo3 is much more stable (the retail version ctd's for me and many others after 5+ hrs continuous gameplay). I personally like to have the physical disks however, as my internet sometimes gets shut off (due to negligent payment lol). I'm not saying that you do, but if you have a downloaded version, just download and play, you need to buy the game. Those downloaded versions are often encrypted or missing pieces to fit a smaller filesize (other than steam). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
