I've been trying to get OCO v2 working for the past 2 hours but it just ain't happening. I've got archive invalidation, still not luck though. Anyone got a solution in mind?

Thanks

Be aware that when version 2.03 of Oblivion Character Overhaul v2 was uploaded a single eye texture file was missed (eyebosmer_violet.dds). If you extract the version 2.01 download (bottom of the file download list) to a folder you'll find the missing file in the Textures\characters\eyes folder (which is also where it needs to go in your game's folders).

 

Without specifics on the "missing textures" there's not much I can do ... pretty hard to come up with a root cause for a problem that is not defined.

 

As a shot in the dark I'll say you are using the Steam version of the game. Steam (using their infinite wisdom) changed the file dates on the vanilla game BSA timestamps, thus breaking BSA Redirection for all their victims ... err, users.

I guess that must be it. Sorry for being vague but I mean like the faces were missing. For instance when I started the game Jiub looked something out of a horror movie, all he had was eyes and a mouth.

If your BSA timestamps on Oblivion - Meshes.bsa and Oblivion - Textures - Compressed.bsa aren't year 2006 then that is likely your problem (the other times the "eyes and a mouth" problem was reported the Oblivion Reloaded skin shaders were at fault ... I'm not seeing OR listed in your load order).
