Creation Kit stuck on "initializing windows", please help!


EASCH

Recommended Posts

I posted this on the steam community forums more than a week ago, and still no replies, hopefully someone here can help:

 

System specs
MacOS X Mountain Lion 10.8.3 (Playing through wine 1.7.0 I'm guessing that might have something to do with the error)
Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
256 gig hard drive
2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
Graphics: Nividia GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB


Problem: After much messing around I finally got the creation kit to half open (huge pain in the ♥♥♥ in and of itself) but after clicking away they error messages (Streaming SIMD extension not supported and XAudio2 error) I always gets stuck on initializing windows I usually wait anywhere from 5-15 min for it to open, but have waited as long as an hour, perhaps a bit over, with no results, just that watch thing.

What I have tried (If I can even remember it all):

Downloading the porting teams bottled app for opening a no-steam crack of the creation kit (only way I could get it to open at all, otherwise consistently got either a 'not enough memory for application' error or the version control error even though version control was already set to 0 in the SkrimEditor ini... or it just kept trying to get me to install iVidi plugin 1.3 over and over again, where it would install but never finish the post installation)

Tried setting the code up to use a local network for version control (and created the directories necessary (i.e. creating a /merging in the ~/Skyrim/ folder folder with ConstructionSetNetwok containing [WhoCanMerge] *return* 1=EASCH *return* EASCH=1 a copy of the data folder containing the elms and a /VersionBackup folder) created a SkyrimEditorPrefs.ini containing [WhoCanMerge] return EASCH=1)

Tried doing the mac update and restarting

Checked whether wine had Direct X components installed (it has d3dx9_#.dll's which is Direct X 9) tried terminal command line reinstallation of the drivers via winetricks (having seperate issues with that, my newer version of wine doesn't come with winetricks, and I installed wget command line without too much trouble which is working but "sudo cp wine tricks /usr/bin" is still returning an error message on DYLD environment... (use/bin/sudo) sudo is setuid or setgid, so if anyone has any advice on fixing this terminal error that might assist me in either solving the problem or narrowing down my options) (have also tried installing XCode 4.something and the sperate command line tools, with no affect on the sudo error).... hence currently unable or rather unaware of how to reinstall or update Direct X drivers on wine 1.7.0... I have an older version of wine that came with winetricks and tried updating the direct X drivers and opening the creation kit with that version of wine to no avail

tried installing and unistalling TESVEditor

tried adding the code for multiple masters just in case that was the issue

in SkyrimEditor.ini under Papyrus (same editations where recommended to fix a memory error with skyrim itself so thought I'd try them in the Editor ini)
changed iMinMemoryPageSize to 10000
changed iMaxMemoryPageSize to 500000
changed iMaxAllocatedMemoryBytes to 180000000

 

All of these to no avail

 

Oh and I've tried reenabling and redisabling dwrite.dll in WineConfig (disabling it was necessary to view the text of any steam windows, but I ran it with dwrite enabled just to check if disabling it had somehow messed up the creation kit, but no, that wasn't it either)

Final note: my wireless network is highly censored (I'm in something called a sober living, long story) anyway, just about any program other than safari/firefox/google chrome are unable to access the internet. Steam is able to view webpages through it for very basic functions like accessing the workshop and uploading my achievements, but otherwise is blocked. THis is highly frustrating, but since I'm using the no-steam crack for the creation kit, I would highly doubt that this is affecting my creation kit... but you never know, just incase it somehow requires internet, thought that I'd post that detail.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks all for reading.

I got mine to work using Wine. I made a Skyrim Cider Port(Bought the game and watched a tutorial on how to get it to work legally.)

I got CK Working for 3 Days just by using wine. But then it stopped working.

I also got it to work again for 2 weeks by using WineBottler.

 

So i'd try that method(Even though it stops working after a while)

OR use a legal copy of windows and run it through Bootcamp - it just works exactly as if you were running windows on your MAC - because that is what it does. And as a bonus, every other windows game and windows program will work also. :thumbsup:

 

There are several other programs that do the same thing as Bootcamp, but that is the best known.
