and yes I have steam comunity in-game enabled also I don't have steam installed in program files I have it installed on a totally separate 2 terabyte drive in my computer. I never said it replaces stuff I said I replaced my obse launcher with one that I can use to launch directly from the launcher. On OS like Vista or Win7 this becomes an overly-protected system folder, and most 3rd party tools cannot be executed or access any of the files from inside there. What about the folder permissions? Steam by default will install inside program files. Not using Steam myself so far, but did you make sure the OBSE DLLs specifically made for Steam support are also found inside the Oblivion folder, not just the 'obse_loader.exe'? And did you also enable something called 'Steam community ingame' or some such inside the Steam for Oblivion?Īs OBSE doesn't 'replace' any files, the usual Archive Invalidation issues to be expected with Steam Oblivion due to the bogus file dates of the BSAs should be of no concern here.
