Yea I didn't have that, now I do in my oblivion folder. same CTD though, even if I try to run obse loader.exe through MO. I'm no expert but pretty sure Oblivion and OBSE work through steam with the obse_steam_loader.dll found in all recent versions of OBSE. The purpose of the "obse loader.exe" confuses me. I know originally it was only for retail version Oblivion and you could start the game with it to use OBSE. Later on someone developed a better one that you could apparently use with steam (though i wasnt modding at the time so I did not try it out). But if I try to run your obse loader.exe from my oblivion folder it just makes the "you gotta run Oblivion through steam" message. Otherwise no easily noticed effects.

Nice prompt response! What do you mean by Latest loader? I added a "start in" path that lead to my oblivion folder in my SSD to the executable, otherwise everything i've got looks the same as what you have in the pictures. No luck.

Thought I would give you guys a year later update Downloaded steam version of GOTY oblivion onto a recently cleaned SSD drive. Downloaded Mod Organizer 1.3.11 Downloaded OBSE 21 into my oblivion folder properly, it works when you run oblivion through steam. (shift-tab works fine) Set mod organizer to use script extender as a load mechanism. On Mod Organizer, Run oblivion through the executable that uses steam.exe file path as a binary and -applaunch 22330 as an argument: Hook.dll is generated in OBSE plugins folder. ...and CTD. If I try to run Oblivion through steam(without involving MO) again it still CTDs. But if I delete hook.dll from the OBSE plugins folder and try to run Oblivion through steam(without involving MO) it works again. Earlier in this thread it is suggested that you download MO 1.2.14 and try that. It has the same issue.
