Issues with Steam and OBSE

[RebelliousMind]

I get the following error when trying to start up OBSE:

 

 

"crc = A2408F04

You are trying to use a Steam version of Oblivion. Please see the instructions in obse_readme.txt for more information."

 

I've copied obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_0.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, and obse_steam_loader.dll to my Oblivion directory, along with a folder called "src".

 

Any ideas what could be the issue here?

The .exe that is the normal download for OBSE is not compatible with steam ....OBSE is supposed to automatically load when you start the game in steam (if you have the proper files installed).

 

However, if you look at the steam forums for Oblivion there is a 'sticky' thread at the top where it gives installing directions for OBSE to work with steam, and a download link for a special OBSE.exe that was made to be compatible with steam, and that .exe you can use to launch the game (by creating a shortcut), just like you could with the non-steam verson of Oblivion.
