Anyone got this working with Windows 10?

[Vault Boy Steve]

This is the first game I can't get working and the only issue I've found with W10 thus far.

I tried a fresh install, running in every single compatibility mode, including admin rights. On some modes, it will load for a brief second then stop working, other times I just get:

"Application load error 5:0000065434"

What is ur install direction? is it in C:\programme (x86/64)..... or C:\programm files.....
should be the first direction

Works fine in Windows 10 for me. Not even had a single freeze or crash, except when I exit the game it sometimes stops responding but it always did that. Are you drivers up to date? Is it installed in the correct folder? Have you tried to add mods?

Did you have it installed on your previous version of Windows before you upgraded? If so, have you made sure to remove all trace of it before you installed it in Windows 10? It could be that if you had it installed on the previous version of Windows and upgraded, some files remained and are causing conflicts.

I have several Steam directs, main is on C, and I have two more extensions on D and E, this on E at the moment.

It wasn't on before upgrading, although from what Nerevar said, I suspect a directory issue XD

Make sure your My Games\Oblivion directory and files aren't write-protected. This seems to be happening a fair bit with Win10 upgrades for some reason. Make sure you have admin rights to make changes to any UAC-protected directories (My Games, Program Files(x86). Also it will help if your Steam directory and Oblivion install are in the same path, and it's something other than Program Files (x86), like C:\Steam for example.

I got oblivon(not in steam)but it works correctly for me

[Vault Boy Steve]

This is depressing... I reinstalled it onto my C drive (main Steam directory) and it still will not load. I don't get the Steam Load Error any more, it now simply stops working as soon as the launcher closes and it tries to launch Oblivion.exe. The furthest I've made it is half a second of the Bethesda splash theme with no compatibility modes on XD

Also, from what I can tell, the exe files as well as the full directory have full access to me under permissions, so I have no idea what is going on here, oh and I also tried deleting the config as mentioned, nada.

[Vault Boy Steve]

Success! I rebooted my PC just now after this fresh install and it works! Praise GabeN :D

Thanks for the help from all involved ;D

I'm having a similar issue. I'll try to restart...

I assume these steps are the key to victory:

1. Fresh Install of Oblivion after upgrading to W10
2. Make sure there are no files in "My Documents", just delete the Oblivion folder if you see it in there (back up saves)
3. Install in default Steam directory rather than an extension library
4. Restart = Profit

Hope you get it working :)

*Deleted the folder in "Documents->my games->Oblivion" and it started!

As per above link.

Here's more info on reinstall of Oblivion if you want same SAVE and have mods:

1. Write down mod names in Nexus Mod Manager or other (or take screenshot)
2. COPY the save folder (possibly config file too) in "Documents"-> "my games"-> "Oblivion" to backup location
3. Delete "my games"-> "oblivion" folder
4. Delete Oblivion local content (normal delete game method in Steam)

5. Delete MOD folder content for Oblivion (keep RAR package downloads etc if comfortable to re-link, otherwise delete and start fresh)
6. Install Vanilla Oblivion (I keep a Steam backup so I restore that. highly recommended)
7. Start Oblivion new game (just to test. save, exit and load new save to ensure that works)
8. MODS-> Reinstall (make sure you get EVERY mod if restoring save game including Oblivion Script Extender etc if used)

9. MODS-> BOSS etc for load order of mods

10. CONFIG FILE-> backup vanilla, then overwrite with saved copy if tweaked previously
11. TEST!

For basic Vanilla reinstall make sure:

a) Game deleted
b) "my games" folder deleted
c) mods deleted (NMM folder etc)
d) VERIFY local content after game restore or re-download
e) *Reinstall/Install at least Unofficial mods recommended

Other:
If you do not want to re-download the entire game but do want Vanilla, you can try the above Vanilla method but delete all the small files in the main folder and any folder that looks like it may be mod related. Then VERIFY local content which re-downloads and verifies the files. Test a vanilla game, then make a BACKUP of Oblivion.

its a very odl game, but sinc eppl run it under win10, it is possible.
it could be yoyr virusscanner or firewall, bloking the game.
also dont use any overlays, like nvidia xperience...

Wait, you didn't do OS clean install (full format)?

Then you probably shouldn't create topics about having problems launching games.

As salty as it may sound, upgrading to newer version of OS is never a good idea. It will break stuff. It will break many things.

As for Oblivion... Well it runs out of the box on latest non-insider build Windows 10, on latest hardware (gtx 1080) etc.

Yeah I'm with this guy. I've got plenty of old games that absolutely refuse to work on Win10 and modern hardware... like Divine Divinity. Spent an hour trying to get that mofo working... had to buy a remastered version on GOG to play it again.

Oblivion however works with no problems whatsoever.
