Solved - was a corrupted main file - reason it hadn't worked after updating was a 1.5.97 dll left in the skyrim directory and AE was crashing due ot that. Found it and removed it, worked. Ran the downgrade patcher and all happily going again.

Ok - I've got 7,500+ hours in the game, and have worked through a lot of things in that time - but this has got me stumped. My PC is way over necessary specs. Playing with no issues until 48 hours ago W10, 1.5.97 (downgraded) via SKSE, MO2 and lots of mods. Decided to add xVASynth voices to my character so loaded that up, created the voice files. Took the best part of a day. Installed the required mods etc - clicked on the SKSE Skyrim icon, and it started - for about 30 seconds, then just stopped. Not far enough along to create crash logs etc. Checked for any driver changes, updates that had sneaked past without telling me - no - NVidia had updated several days before but I had been playing after that. Checked my antivirus and malware, firewalls etc had the required files as exclusions - ok Removed everything installed since my last play session, including reverting any mods that had been updated to as they were before. Used resaver and checked my mod list was precisely the same (although that was probably going to be more important for failing to load a save more than not running the exe at all) - no change Early stops like that - possible SKSE related so removed everything but SKSE itself - same thing. Removed SKSE as well so now was bare bones 1.5.97 obviously couldn't run that using SKSE, but trying the Skyrim executable - up popped the actual window to start the game, clicked play - and same thing happened. Thought it might be corrupt game files, and as I can't "verify" 1.5.97 decided to "update" (I wanted to deactivate a few crappy CC mods I had installed, which you can't do unless your game is "current" so it wasn't a total loss) No - won't run bare bones 1.6.whatever it is - exactly the same Any ideas anyone?

So - quit out of game, all was going fine. Restarted game, start menu, ENB loaded, normal. Loading screen normal brightness. In game indoors close to pitch dark - in game menus normal. Brightness slider in normal position, and works, but even at maximum is still a lot darker than usual. ENB working, and environment light settings are as they should be, Zoned outside - everything is sort of "misty". Loading screen was normal. Tried different saves (ones I had previously used) - all dark (inside) or misty (outdoors). Exited and did the following, trying loading a save each change made 1) Total PC restart 2) Reinstalling all light associated mods, including weather mods 3) Reinstalling ENB all with no effect Tried console "SG 1.5" to increase gamma - worked indoors, but outdoors was now bright and misty. Returned it to 1. Any ideas please? Edit - Noticed it is still dark indoors with ENB off as well (and still a white out outdoors) Tried different ENBs and no change. Well - "fixed" - Nice of NVidia to update without informing me it was doing it. It doesn't even save your settings, so activated aliasing etc which stop your ENB from working. Oddly kept a Skyrim preset, but installed everything to default in it. In the meantime I stupidly managed to overwrite my preferred ENB settings.....

Can someone tell me were to look please - I noticed that at some stage in the past that the big forts like Fort Greymoor, Dunstad etc were no longer being taken over by guards but the bandits etc were repopulating. (I think it is vanilla behaviour unless that too was mod added) I now find that ANY mod with takeover mechanics - like Skyrim Realistic Conquering, Lawbringer, Thandom of Treva's Watch etc - is doing the same - except those are getting BOTH the new guards and the bandits - meaning every one of them is having a battle when you visit. The bandits in question are vanilla spawns, or those added by the takeover mods themselves. I have checked to make sure they are not placements made by other population affecting mods. So it seems that the "Major Forts" such as Greymoor and Dunstad are not getting any trigger to change. Modded locations like Lawbringer are getting the new spawns, but also the old So I suspect there is something core being overwritten - but I don't know what. I have been through all the records in SRC and Lawbringer - nothing overwriting that shouldn't be.

I had this, and Googling "false save game bug" will bring up a number of answers - to do with the default settings not having enough file handles - especially if you have lots of mods First - make sure you have this installed http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/17230 - SSE Engine Fixes - it increases the handles form 512 to 2048 More info https://www.reddit.com/r/skyrimmods/comments/8muxmd/sse_engine_fixes_now_with_fix_for_false_save/dzqq0bb/

Victory - of a sort. Really frustrated with not being able to get to the bottom of this, having looked in SSEEdit for conflicts, checked script lists in mods, found every linked reference to Quest RefID 3502E DialogueWindhelm and checked to see if those were in any mods other than USSEP etc - nada I decided it was time for radical action - and simply disabling blocks of mods (starting with those that would be more likely to do something like this) and starting new games, then COC Windhelmstables and enter town. Decided I might as well get rid of a number of mods that I could do without first (Spring Cleaning). Might as well test after removing those - and - all back to normal. I don't know which of these may have been the culprit - so there are innocents here - but if you are suffering this problem and have any of these installed... Bellari Island AKA's Better World of Weapons Civil War Aftermath Return to the Thalmor Embassy - those being the more likely but also Solitude Skyway, Goliath Grouper (adds fish lol), Finding Velehk Sain and a follower mod - Fiona, Dragonborn follower. I could go and install them back one by one - but sorry, not motivated enough...

Nexus mods "New This Week" Tab = 823 mods - that's 823 new mods this week alone!

Has it been modified or is S&S still the old original version which I have anyway?

Been waiting to see if most of my qol mods get updated for AE. Actually installed fishing only as another mod updated and required it - without any intention of using it - irl fishing bores me, so why would I even consider it in game? Survival mode sounds like fun - not. Cold, hungry and sleepy are not things I would list under entertainment. The Farm House is smack in a spot used by well known third party mods - that were released well prior to it. Having grown up on a farm it doesn't appeal anyway. Already have 11cc mods inc fishing. Started going through my mod list (lots) to see a) what remains compatible b) what has updates c) what is incompatible - and don't appear to be planning to update Unfortunately, c) was damning - AddItemMenu (the "alternates" are NOT equivalent), .netscript Framework, Improved Camera etc - stopped after checking about 50% of my mod list. IC is full time in use, AIM is used at least once every hour of gameplay, NSF is involved with a number of other mods, and invaluable for the occasional CTD. Still not clear on what AE's advantages are - nothing running slow here - rarely drop below my limited 60fps - using 4K graphics on most things, dense trees, grass etc, 1500 plugins. Seems it would take a long time to update everything err most things but why?

Tried the patch in the above post - installed it via MO2 - noticed the psc file was in the main directory alongside the esp which suggested I had to manually put it somewhere else so put a copy into a Scripts/Source directory as that is where my other (numerous) mods put psc files. On starting the game there is no change to Windhelm - WindhelmDialogue still not running Papyrus reports [05/02/2022 - 11:42:02PM] Cannot open store for class "FixWindhelmInvisibleObject", missing file?[05/02/2022 - 11:42:02PM] Error: Unable to bind script FixWindhelmInvisibleObject to (CA002881) because their base types do not match[05/02/2022 - 11:42:02PM] Cannot open store for class "FixWindhelm", missing file?[05/02/2022 - 11:42:02PM] Error: Unable to bind script FixWindhelm to (CA002881) because their base types do not match

Worked perfectly thanks - issue completely resolved.

Thx - will give it a try! Plz clarify - "in the config file" - which one exactly? - aha - finally found it EngineFixes.toml

Recently have found that the spontaneous NPC interaction dialogues in Windhelm - and no-where else - are failing to initiate. Examples - 1) Rolff Stone Fist and Agrenor just stand looking at Suvaris Atherton, not bullying her. As such they never move - ever 2) Idesa Sadri and Grimvar Cruel-Sea stand outside of Aventus' house but don't have their dialogue about the dark sacrament - so never move away either 3) Brunwulf and a dark elf in the Grey Quarter don't have their conversation about Brunwulf speaking to Ulfric - at least Brunwulf still offers his quest if you speak to him. 4) Nurelion doesn't have his argument with Quintus, so the quest "The White Phial" doesn't start - and even if you console start it, Nurelion never gets the dialogue to complete it. I have even found that the shop doesn't open at all. 5) probably wrecks "Blood on the Ice" - but then that quest is "buggy as" even with modification. 6) plus - other conversations don't fire. Looking in SSEEdit - there is a common thread - all of those mentioned above link to a quest FormID 3502E DialogueWindhelm . I would be pretty safe in assuming the trigger to that quest isn't firing - setstage DialogueWindhelm brings up 0. It has stages 0, 10 & 20, but setstage 10 or 20 moves the "getstage" to that, but has no apparent effect on the NPCs. Anyone either have the same issue, or better still, know how to fix it. Only USSEP overwrites quest 3502E.

Forgot to mention this suddenly appeared about a month ago. Hadn't happened before that at all.

Hi - having an issue that I have no idea how to chase down. My game is heavily modded. After a random period playing, sometimes 1-2 hours, and very occasionally after only 10 minutes I notice some odd in game behaviour 1) books etc have blank pages 2) some dialogue options will disappear from some NPCs - eg "What have you got for sale" 3) looking at the save game list, all of the attached images will change to the generic Multicoloured lines with "Image" written across it. 4) I can still save games, and they appear in the list as per 3) 5) if I attempt to load any of them at that stage, they say the save is corrupt. Including exiting to main menu and trying. 6) If I exit the game, reSaver says no issues with those saves 7) Start Skyrim up again and they are all fine - load without issue, even the ones made when the issue was already occurring. All the "problems" disappear - well for another hour or two anyway. It happens right from starting a totally new game - even had it happen while still in the ASLAL starting cell, and I haven't noticed it worsening as the game progresses out in to saves eg >300 Any ideas?
