Can't launch new game with Steam version

[Deleted549635User]

Hello guys,

 

I just downloaded Oblivion on Steam, and before even checking if it works, I installed a bunch of mods, some using OBMM, some manually.

 

Now the problem is : when i'm in the main menu and want to launch a new game, nothing happens when I click on "yes" to the new game question.

 

I can't check if this problem affects savegames, since i don't have any.

 

I am running a french version of Oblivion, but I took most of the mods from here, do you think this may be a problem ?

 

Anyway, I tried to desactivate all mods, but it didn't change anything. I carefully followed all the instructions for installing the mods, so I really have no clue about the reason of my problem.

 

 

Does this ring any bells with you guys ?

 

I may have trouble providing a full list of the mods I installed (especially those without esp file) since I deleted the archive files as I installed them one after another...

 

tl;dr : Oblivion just installed via Steam, with a bunch of mods, stuck in main menu, won't launch new game.

I don't know if it'll happen but I just bought Fallout 3 with the specific purpose of using the Wanderer's Edition. I bought it with Steam though so I am not sure if it'll work. Hopefully someone can answer both our questions in one fell swoop.

This is silly.

 

It turns out to be the most stupid problem ever. I did not restart after installing direct X, now that I did restart, it works fine... ^^

Glad the problem is resolved. :D

 

Careful with modding though. Sometimes two mods go together like oil and water and that'll mess up your game, or you can accidentally overwrite a vital file (if it's a manual install). Was an easy fix this time, but it might not be in the future. Have fun playing.
