UglyNerdMan Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 (edited) hi i see a lot of people having problems with OBSE and steam as many people have upgraded moved on to new systems.Alright Obse now doesnt need the old steam loader from the steamforums as it will startup when the Steam community activates in game. But heres the problem many people looking for help arent getting help because everyones saying the same thing, some people are flaming people looking for help thinking they cant follow directions. I had this same issue searched for hours and read through crap. Im posting this so that others who need help can get a real solution/workaround. if you see someone who has a similar problem as i have posted on another forum please help them out also. thanks.The real issue is that the Steam community even if checked in steam isnt working in Oblivion specifically for many people. Why this is? We have no ideaa. Whats the work around? Download OBSE v17 use the old steam loader exe from the steampowered forums. wallah. for the old obse versions google archives + obese or search for v17,v17b,v17a downloads. Edit: also. steam community wont work if you have admin access only or have a special setting in a exe's properties. which is pretty hard on some people... why? because they run in compatibility mode so they dont crash, but their compatibility mode is preventing them from having obse working and obse working properly helps people not crash with their mods installed in general.

Telyn Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks for the info. It's working for me, but it's good to know in case it comes up when I am trying to help someone with Steam. It might be something todo with their new security feature, not sure. Unfortunately some mods will need the newer version and might break. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twinchester71 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Finally, a sane reply! At least, it's sane in the sense that I don't end up feeling insane from being unable to determine the cause. I've used OBSE for a long time and never had an issue until now, after having to reinstall my Steam version. Such a simple install and, yet, no reason why it wasn't working. For those looking for an older OBSE, they archive all of them on their site: http://obse.silverlock.org/download/archive/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
