having a bit of a problem running with OBSE

[dcipher.]

I use Mod Organizer for Oblivion, and so whenever I hit run with obse, an error message would say " You are trying to use a Steam version of Oblivion. Steam users should launch the game through Steam, not by running obse_loader.exe. If OBSE fails to load, go to Steam > Settings > In Game and check the box marked Enable Steam community in game." So thats what I did and when I got to the In Game tab, all there was was enable Steam overlay. Which was already enabled in the first place. And without OBSE I cannot get mods to work properly. any pointers?

If you installed it correctly it should just automagically work when you launch Oblivion through the Steam library. You don't actually need to do anything special.

Just to be sure though, can you bring up the steam overlay while in-game?

[dcipher.]

By the steam overlay do you mean when I hit Tab+Shift? If do then yes it works.

[Pert Boioioing]

Yeah that. In that case OBSE should be working if you launch Oblivion through the steam library, assuming you put the correct files in the Oblivion installation directory.

[dcipher.]

Okay, now Im trying to redo the whole process, I've already uninstalled Oblivion, but the OBSE files are still there. Now I have removed them and placed the DLL files that the Readme said I needed to plae in the first place. BUt now how do I get MO to run with OBSE? The option has dissappeared.

[dcipher.]

Are you still there please help me.

figures. fine. get OBSE v0021 and v017a from here http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/37952.
1. Copy obse_1_2_416.dll, obse_editor_1_2.dll, obse_steam_loader.dll and the Data folder to your Oblivion directory from v0021. This is usually "C:\ProgramFiles\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\common\oblivion".
Then take obse_loader.exe from v017a and put that in the Oblivion folder. Verify in properties details it is version 0.0.17.2. Use that to launch Oblivion (as if you had a non-Steam version)
I think we got a catch-22 sitch going on, I have to get permission from the authors but if I could get a hold of the authors they could be notified of the issue and fix it.

But I have already put he latest version of OBSE into my oblivion directory, so do u just want me to delete them and follow ur instructions?

[dcipher.]

And do I put obse_loader.exe from v017a in the same oblivion directory as where the other DLL fiels are?

Yes. If asked, copy and replace.

No. as long as you're sure you have those files and the contents of the Data folder installed as per 1). That instruction is a copy-paste from their readme.

So bottom line you're going to just add the old v017.2 obse_loader.exe to what they say and launch oblivion with it.

[dcipher.]

Nothing still works, Im not sure if im doing correctly or not, can I send you a snip of what my game directory looks like? And how do I go on doing so?

[Pert Boioioing]

How are you launching Oblivion?

[dcipher.]

Through my steam library
