Is this the "direct2drive" version? If so then I think it's notoriously incompatible with modding in general. You do need the physical media version.

I use the Steam version of Oblivion and it works perfectly fine for me. Instead of using the BethesdaSoftworks/Oblivion/Data directory (or whatever it is) you just use Steam/Steamapps/common/Oblivion/Data and you can mod with it fine.


However, I can't help with the main issue of the crashing. Sorry. Sad

yah I know that that works but I mean that when ever steam launches oblivion it goes into bethesda softworks...... but then every time it crashes
