xOBSE hanging oblivion launch through MO2

[latent hawk]

Hey folks.
I've been modding oblivion with MO2 and the game launched perfectly a couple times. Now however, whenever I try and launch oblivion with xOBSE through MO2 the game hangs. I can see the process in task manager and MO2 recognises it starting but a window never opens for it. Anyone else had this issue? The game launches fine without xOBSe but obviously this stops me using most mods. Any help would be much appreciated

You should be launching your game through the normal game exe through MO2 anyway as OBSE should work without issues that way

Sorry, I realise the original post was unclear. I am launching oblivion, having followed the tutorial on github on how to make it play nice with xOBSE

Oh, I see. Have you checked if it's for sure xOBSE, by disabling all your mods in MO2 and running the game? it's kinda weird that xobse would cause such an issue.

All the mods work perfectly fine. I was able to launch the game perfectly a couple of times with everything working. For some reason it just refuses to launch now. I've had this issue in the past where installing xOBSE via other methods also doesn't work

at this point i would abandon MO2 and grab all of your archives and then switch to WryeBash lol

any help from the MO2 discord?

I asked there but no one has replied. My steam games are in Program Files so wyrebash doesn't seem like an option without a massive amount of faf

I've also never used wyrebash before in general and would rather not learn an entire other mod manager again if I can help it. Vortex and manual installs have the same issue as MO2 so I can't imagine why it would suddenly bypass whatever issue I'm having

you can't mod very well with your games in program files
