I'm a little upset that they didn't add in game chatting for Oblivion ; nonetheless, it was a nice update.

New games supported: .........and Oblivion.



I'm very happy they added ingame chatting for Oblivion. Otherwise, nobody (except for Red Orchestra players I suppose) would be particularly interested.

Um, I realized they added support. It tells me I've been playing. What it doesn't say is In-Game chat functionality. For me, it doesn't let me hit Scroll Lock+X to have my IM window pop up.

[thor2488]

It does that for me. :/



Good luck getting it working, you could try the Xfire boards.
