second "problem" doesn't even exist. you must have done something wrong. third one is a pretty useless concern, you can int from steam. just click on the task bar steam icon once and it will show OC if you add it to faves

Restart steam, lol! You can make a shortcut to the game through steam.

That can also be the problem. Even though the installer makes you able to change the install path, don't. It HAS to be in that exact place with that exace name. Do not change anything.

is it from the installer or from steam? (the steam one uses steam://rungameid/******, while the one from the installer uses the steam.exe)

"C:\program files\steam\steam.exe" -gameidlaunch 218 -game "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\SourceMods\obsidian"
that ?
