viperesque Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I'm having a few problems with OBSE for the Steam GotY edition. I've followed the installation instructions (and triple-checked that I have done so correctly). However, upon launching the game, OBSE seems barely functional. There are signs of it working. For example, obse_steam_loader.log reappears if I delete it, always with the textcrc = A2408F04 dll = c:\program files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\oblivion\obse_1_2_416.dlland nothing else. I'm not sure if that is normal. Furthermore, my game loads normally when Thieves' Arsenal is installed and running, and I distinctly remember from my years using the disk version that that particular mod shut your game down if OBSE wasn't running. getOBSEVersion in console returns nothing whatsoever - no error, but no version either. And that's about the extent of it. None of my OBSE mods function at all. I've delved through google for ideas, and not found anything more constructive than enabling Steam community. Any thoughts on the matter? Also: mods without an esp or esm file do not seem to be working either, no matter what AII says. Any ideas on that?

Valkyrie Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I got mine running by installing OBSE by its directions for Steam, using this link, Then downloaded the OBSE launcher here on the nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaklee1 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Did you put obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll and obse_steam_loader.dll into steamapps/common/oblivion? The readme provides full instructions on how to install OBSE for both the Steam version and the retail version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueblue1878 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Yes what Shaklee said and also with the Steam version of OBSE you DON'T run the OBSE Loader to start oblivion, you just run oblivion.exe as you normally would and OBSE kicks in simultaneously with Oblivion.

Thanks. However, that didn't work for me (assuming you mean OCOL 2). I get a .NET error when I launch the loader, which I can ignore and the start window will still appear, but another error when I click 'Play' ('The program cannot find the file specified', but no indication of what said file might be). The patched loader itself doesn't work either. It just gives me an error. Hasn't this loader been made obsolete by changes to OBSE itself, anyway?

As I said previously, I triple checked that I'd followed the instructions correctly before posting here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bben46 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 If you get a dot net error maybe it's trying to tell you something. Do you have the dot net version it needs installed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
