OblivionMajorMODDER Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I know this has been asked countless times, but I need help getting OBSE to work with steam, any other Steam users have some way to help?

Surilindur Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 (edited) Have you tried this:download OBSE, as well as the updated loader, from the official website, then extract themcopy these files to your Oblivion folder (with Oblivion.exe): obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, obse_steam_loader.dll, obse_loader.execopy this one from the updated loader file and overwrite the one you just copied: obse_loader.exeopen your Steam library, then launch Oblivion from there (the launcher will appear, click Play)in-game, open console, select an NPC and see if this command works: SetRefEssential 1if it works (no errors printed), your OBSE is installed and workingWhat is it, exactly, that you have tried, that has not worked? Could your antivirus perhaps cause issues (never happened to me, though)? Have you tried it with and without Steam overlay (I currently have it disabled yet OBSE still works)?

OblivionMajorMODDER Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Thank you, but that is all the guides and tutorials I have seen says, and I still cannot get it to function... I'm Getting very frustrated with it, mainly because so many mods and a few I myself want to create are dependent on it....

Striker879 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 If you have Steam (and thus Oblivion and OBSE) installed in the default C:\Program Files (x86) location then you will need to widen your search to what steps you will need to take with run permissions on which executeables. Or you could use the instructions in Bbens Complete Uninstall/Reinstall for Oblivion to get Steam and thus Oblivion out from under UAC's grasp (and if you have the misfortune to be saddled with Microsoft's latest phone/tablet/PC OS aka Win 10 ... well good luck, because I believe it takes protecting you from yourself to new, higher than ever levels).

Would the fact that I have Steam and Oblivion installed on E: drive cause any problems...? Just asking, I did not install it there, by the way.

Striker879 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) I have Oblivion installed on my G drive (a separate hard drive dedicated to just games). In your case E:\Games\... (whatever the folder path for Steam games is) would be ideal. My disk version of the game is G:\Games\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion for example. All MS operating systems after Win XP have had UAC ... Win 10 is just the most obtrusive in the line. Edited April 7, 2016 by Striker879 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrakeTheDragon Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 UAC mostly only controls C (more precisely only the Windows system folders on there, like program files and the like, where the game is installed by default), so of course you using E you'll never have problems with UAC. And your game already being on E also means you won't need to move it using the uninstall/reinstall guide you were linked to. You already moved it out of harm's way the first time you installed it. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
