Forgive the length. I am not sure of the issue but I am trying to be thorough in my situation.
(my instinct feels that there is an issue with the main Skyrim SE game’s files recognizing the SKSE64 or something regarding Steam site not allowing or authorizing myskse64 version of the game to run for some reason.)
I am also having the same issue as described within the post entitled “SKSE64 absolutely REFUSES to load with Skyrim... “
I am very new to using mods (only a month) and successfully been running Skyrim SE through the skse64 launcher for the last month. Yesterday, I launched Skyrim SE through my Vortex mod manager. I got a pop-up window stating something like SKSE was not up to date or was current for my version of Skyrim SE. I immediately closed the game and relaunched with my SKSE64 launcher short cut from my desktop. The game opened and I played it without issues. But the pop-up warning box from my Vortex launch-mistake looked like it may have been from my Steam account and this made me wonder if maybe there had been a Creation club update that I was unaware of.
Today, restarted my computer and went to launch the game through my skse64 launcher and have had the same CTD issue as described in “SKSE64 absolutely REFUSES to load with Skyrim... “ post.
It crashes at the main menu right after the Bethesda credits end. So, there is no ability to even try to launch a new game or saved games. The game’s main menu itself will not launch. All the game tab icons show up without the dragon emblem for about one second and then CTD
Being New to modding I am limited in how to troubleshoot this issue. My version is skse64_2_00_16.
Is there any suggest fix to resolve this CTD? Was there an Update to the Creation club that I am not aware of? Any advice on how you resolved the issue or advice in general would be appreciated. Remember I am a newbie so I ask for your patience and apologize in advance if I have to ask overly simplified follow-up questions.
my instinct feels that there is an issue with the main game’s files recognizing the SKSE64 or something regarding Steam site not allowing the skse64 version of the game to run for some reason. My abilities to even check or investigate these theories are limited by my current knowledge and abilities.
I have not included my full mod list as I was running all mods without issues until today, but I will if any one feels it can further help. Again, the CTD is related to the launching of the game itself and not from a saved game file.
I will try to answer these following questions that I was advised from another post I asked about my problem on. Here listed were the questions I was asked to answer if they can help.
- have you installed any new mods or otherwise changed your configuration?
- have you attempted to load an older save file?
- have you attempted creating a new game?
1. have you installed any new mods or otherwise changed your configuration?
The Game launched fine yesterday. but these mods were added yesterday to my list,
Kato’s Riverwood 2.0
MFG Fix
Immersive world encounters
but to cover all mods added within a 24 hour time ( These mods were added the day before) included..
Great forest of Whiterun hold
The great Cities 2.01
Rustic weathers
Book of uunp (unp meshes) addon
and a manual DL quest addon to FlowerGirls from LL.
I first disabled all these new Mods listed in Vortex and tried to use skse64 launcher with the same CTD result after Bethesda credits run and then I deleted all these mods (including archives) from Vortex and repeated launch with the same CTD resulting as well.
2. have you attempted to load an older save file?
When running game yesterday, with these new mods installed, all ran without issue, and I always used my save file # 2 (a modded but early save) at the beginning of my game to have a “mostly” clean save as I tried to build my mod list. This save has the skse64, Finis, and my unp body mesh and textures Mods, but I installed all other mods loading this save when adding new mods Keeping my #1 save completely clean except for SKSE64. I have not really played the story or quests over the last month as I been trying to build my mod list and just wonder around Riverwood and journey to white run to test the games stability. No issues or any mod Crashing the game until this issue happened today
- have you attempted creating a new game?
I have not run multiple games or attempted a new game and I obviously cannot do so now as the CTD is happening at the launch of the main menu and not on a load of a save. Without the Main Menu there is not much I know to try out side of my Vortex mod manager. I can currently launch the game through Vortex but it is the non SKSE64 version and I get error warnings upon loading the saved game that SKSE is missing and Error message boxes regarding Sky UI, Finis and other SKSE required Mods.
Hope you can help. Thanks for taking the time to consider my problem. :confused:
