I just installed Deadly Reflex 5. The first window pops up asking me to select a key for shield bash and all that. I close the window, press the key, and then.....

nothing. The following windows don't appear.

Did you get the hotfix file?

Are any other windows opening that could interfere?

Have you tried using the Deadly Reflex Reset in your inventory?

you're probably not running the game from the OBSE_Loader.exe - at least that would cause the effect you're describing.

1. No, I didn't know about any hotfix, I will try that.

2. The hourglass is not in my inventory

3. I am running it through Steam, but I have it installed so it should be working.

In order for the Steam version of OBSE to work, make sure you have the Steam in-game overlay turned on. That's the one that pops up the message about the Steam Community and using Shift-Tab to access it.

The overlay doubles as the loader for OBSE.

I am a long time Steam user, yet I cannot understand what you mean. All I have to press is shift+tab and OBSE works? Do I have to keep it open?

I think I know what you mean. And yes, it is turned on, it has always been turned on, and the problem is not fixed.

I don′t what′s causing it, but your Obse is definitely not running.

The reason you don′t get the other messages is that the mod is waiting for the keypress for the first keypress, but since the function detecting the keypress is an Obse function - which is not available - the script either crashes or waits forever. Unfortunately I can′t help more than this, cause know nothing about the Steam version. :unsure:

Ok, thanks for the response Skycaptain (great mod btw). Is there any way I can tell if Obse is running or not?

Do you have a file called "obse_loader.log" in your Oblivion directory? The "log" might be hidden, but it should display as a text file.

Also confirm that the "obse_steam_loader.dll" is in the same directory as "Oblivion.exe"

That could be the problem. I have:

obse_1_2_416.dll
obse_editor_1_2.dll
obse_steam_loader.dll
obse_steam_loader (no file extension, its just a text document)

Those are the only obse files in my oblivion directory. I am missing the obse_loader.log

obse_loader.log is generated when Obse is loaded or attempted to be loaded, as far as I know. So it seems like it's not even attempting to load.

So, if you go to your library, right-click Oblivion and choose Properties, the "Enable Steam Community In-Game" is definitely checked as ON?

If so, I think you'll need to hit the OBSE thread for some help debugging the problem.
